Is it just me, or does it seem like the fundraiser is finding it hard going this year?

I'm a little unclear about what major donations have been kicked into the total, but I thought it'd be interesting to observe how the number rises - it's at 2,764,642 for me, which from totally unreliable recollection means it's been at rather a snail's pace for perhaps a week now?

thoughts, and the total at the time of posting would be interesting......
