Yesterday evening I was chatting with my mum, explaining why I hadn’t had called for a few days. I told her about our fundraiser and that we had raised 3,500 Euro for charity as a birthday present for “that actor whom I like”. My mum’s first reaction: “Oh, does he know? Has he said thank…
Mission accomplished! Can you still read or are you still on the floor? I’ll give you a second to recover. … … … I would like to congratulate you all to this massive, stunning, breathtaking and overwhelming result of this year’s auctions and fundraiser in honour of Richard’s birthday. It is hard to believe, but…
The records keep coming and coming. I have more good news to spread, and I’ll say it right at the beginning of this post. We are actually looking at a final tally that will cross the threshold into the 3,000s! Despite considerable eBay, Paypal and postage costs (final accounts in a different post), it is…
How do you do it, people? These birthday auction fundraisers get better and bigger and better and bigger every year! I am stunned and currently not properly able to put everything into smooth words. But perhaps you are not waiting for a rhetorical fireworks, anyway, just stfu Sonja and give us the low-down. I will.…
Tada! The storm has passed and apart from a bit of breakage in our garden, it has also blown in the message I was hoping for. Over night, the auctions have moved further and you kindly and generously answered my call. Thanks to further bidding, the auction total has passed the 2,000 Euro mark. Hooray…
A little update via blog on the progress of the birthday auctions – because, boy, we have had progress! It actually warrants a landmark of sorts. We started the day with an already healthy half-way mark total of auction sales that had passed the 1,500 Euro threshold. Well, it didn’t stop there. Usually the second…
Good morning, good morning. It sounds somewhat contradictory, but during the auctions I always *enjoy* going offline. Because when I come back from my short absence, there usually are new movements in the auctions to look forward to. And so it is this morning. Big time. We are now more or less half way through…
Good morning, all. As in previous, I would like to keep you updated about the progress of the auctions. After milestones and mileposts in previous years, I’ll call my daily updates “landmarks” this year. And without further ado, I’d like to announce that we have reached the first landmark already. This morning I have made…
It’s time to get the party started! Five days from now will be Richard’s 49th birthday. And before the milestone birthday happens next year, let’s send him off with a big bang into his 50th year. What better than a big donation to charity that reflects our appreciation of this masterful actor, lovely guy…
Let’s just have one more post before the fun starts tomorrow. Important note at the end of this post! I have spent the day being somewhat creative. Apart from an article that I had to pen for work, I was working on a little something since yesterday. I’m telling myself I was tinkering because I…
