Perhaps you need a final piece of encouragement to get you over the final stretch, in which case I have found a rather interesting loophole in the OP which I now intend to exploit (assuming of course that you've managed to avoid caving).

Now when you posted this, you neglected to stipulate a year in the date, in which case I'm going to enter the game now, as there are still technically five days until midnight 31/12.
If you manage to make it to midnight 31/12/17 abiding by the rules you set, I will donate £100 to your cause.
Under the rules, this will make me the largest contributor, which means I get to choose the charity that all the money goes to. As a reward for your year long endeavours, I will forfeit that right, and allow you to choose the charity yourself, (although given the time of year, perhaps something that benefits children would be a nice gesture). Anyway, you decide.
Merry Christmas

Wowsers - that is quite the offer! Thank you so much Mr. g, and yes indeed that will keep me honest till the year end!!
I need to update my spreadsheet for where the total's at, in fact... not helped by my PC contents being nuked, but it exists in teh clod, so I'll get on it. But we must be pushing £400 I reckon with that very very generous inclusion! Hurrah indeed!!
Now in terms of charity, there was chat on page 5, under the view that @andy was chief contributor (which was true till this morning's usurpation!):
Andy wrote:Okay, Muzz, how about I give you a choice? Either Enfield Parents & Children or the Enfield & District RSPCA Branch. If you don't like either of them specifically, I'd just ask that you pick either an animal's charity or a children's charity.
Some mix of those remains where my thinking is at - assuming no late vetoes / alternate suggestions.
Thank you again so much to all - a grand old place we have here, it's decidedly un-internet-like!! -

I thought I offered extra donation for completion of MGS3 or Bayonetta or another of my favourites. Can’t remrmber anymore.I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER. -
Kudos to G for the generosity being shown. You da (G) man.I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER.

Hype is starting to set in. So close now. I even wandered through GAME earlier so I could soak up the atmosphere and aisles of shit pre-owned games. Ahh, fond memories indeed.
-
Weirdly, however, I might not go and splash loads of cash. This year has very much reinforced how easy it is to overbuy, vs. the time / inclination I have. Lots of games on my shelves which haven't tempted me even in the barren patches - why add to that? So I'm going to try to be much more cautious with my purchases - only things I'll definitely play soon, and then actually playing them to completion. And on that basis there's already quite a lot of stuff I own that I should still play first.
I'll get a couple of things though, before the Steam Sale is out. But good to have a long-term benefit from this lark.
As well as you lot being very generous. Though @Andy (or @g.man) I've now tried to properly read the links above, and the former seems broken. There's https://www.epandc.org.uk/about-epc/our-history which started in Enfield but is now broader and seems very worthy - what do you reckon?? -
I’m easy, mate. Looks good to me, but it’s up to you and g.man.
Let us know how to send you the money. -

Well done Muzzy. You did it!
Raised a decent sum for a good cause, top work those that donated as well especially g and Andy.
We didn't do a charity thing this Xmas so if it is OK I would like to donate a bit as well despite not pledging early on. What are the details? -

Fantastic stuff Muzzy. Genuinely impressive, well done.
-
MADE IT!!!!!

Congratulations!
Thought you'd probably cave in the last couple of months and take the hit, so well done for not doing that. -
How do we pay up?
-
Yeah, how do I pay you the money I owe you for completing Metal Gear Solid 3?
Oh, wait.... -
Is paying via me easiest? Will post screenies of me paying on. Obv fine if people would rather go direct.
But yeah PayPal [email protected] if you're happy fir me to bookkeep.
Very many thanks again for the support and generosity.
Except Cinty. Obvs. -
(I'll prob do an initial dollop to the charity so they get one lump sum, thinking about it.)
-
I'll Paypal it to you later.
I'm on for 3p X 365 = £10.95, right?
I'll call it £15 for making it all the way. -
Congratulations Muzz! A mighty effort indeed. I'll PayPal you the money at some point today when I finally get my lazy arse out of bed.
you da man!

So my spreadsheet suggests the following... I don't plan to harass people at all for payment, but I've noted who I think I've received from below in case it offers peace of mind. I've had one further payment, but I'm not quite sure who from (assuming Jon's real name is Jon...). Do PM if you'd like you're name chalked off!

Right, as people have been rounding up, I've made an overall £450 donation to Every Parent & Child, covering the above, but very much funded by your fine selves.
In their words:
Thank you for your donation. Your help is deeply appreciated and your generosity will make an immediate difference to our cause. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your contribution. We appreciate your generosity.
I'll do a screeny of the payment once it hits my bank account - and do please keep PayPalling those of you that haven't yet managed
THANK YOU ALL!
Howdy, Stranger!
