Before the adage “weekly” becomes a total farce – this is week 34 of the year, and I have missed six round-ups so far – I better get my Guylty arse into gear and produce another round-up. From what I gather, round-ups are part of a few readers’ weekend routines. Well, you may slip back into…
It is a huge pleasure to tell you that the money you raised has now been transferred to the cause we earmarked it for! With the last of the payments coming in, all that remained for me to do, was click on the “donate” button on Save the Children’s Syrian Children’s fund and move the…
These daily post shenanigans are working out really well for me. I have another quick update to make. While waiting for last payments to come in, a few more donations have reached me. That bumps up our total a bit more. We now have 446.57$ in donations, which raises the complete fundraiser total to 1677.72$! What…
You know what, I am right in the swing now, for daily posts. Inevitable result of such a high-producing initiative as a fundraiser. (Which, btw, is not fully concluded yet. There may be some more donations coming in, so there may be a final final update on that, soon.) And maybe also a reaction to…
I wrote, he signed, she donated, you bid and you contributed – we all won! That is the latest fundraiser on the occasion of Richard’s birthday and in aid of Save the Children’s Syrian Children’s Fund in a nutshell. When I spontaneously started my Armitage Week posts 8 days ago, I was in a fangirl funk…
I have just downloaded the eBay app on my iPhone – so I can now leave the laptop and calm my nerves with some activities that takes me away from the screen. Last year, I made the mistake of launching into baking, just before the auctions ended (all at the same time). I lost, the cake won…
Is a cake an appropriate present for a man who a) is a sporting ace and b) works in an industry where looks are all and cake is evil? Well, it’s only a virtual cake, but I did bake this with *you* in my mind, Richard. And as a special present for you, I have eaten it…
As we are now in the last 24 hours of the RA birthday auctions, here is another update for Sunday night (BST), before I head to bed. As a reminder: This morning, when I opened up the laptop and checked for the progress, the combined bids came up to 821 USD$ (725 Euro). Over the day, things…
We are half way through the Birthday Auctions, so time for an update on how the bidding is progressing. At this point, we have already nearly tripled my original goal! This is what I mean by that: When I had to set the starting prices for the items on eBay, I had a (modest?) goal…
It was a long night, but now it is done: The charity auctions in honour of Richard Armitage’s birthday are now up and running over on eBay. After the quick post yesterday which only included my first trial auction (which is nonetheless real and running), let me now give you the full story: Thanks to some donations from…
