It’s Saturday! I have a a round-up for you. This is basically the fourth round-up from quarantine. And yesterday we were told by our taoiseach that the lockdown – due to end on tomorrow’s Easter Sunday – has been extended until May 5. No surprise, really. We may have flattened the curve, but the virus…
After a rather mad week/end, some sad news (see also at the end of this post) and vague frustrations with technology, what is better to enhance the mood than a little shrine post? This one has been sitting in my media library for a little while because the package took an extra long time to…
The round-up is back! Again, a couple of weeks’ abstinence has its advantages – bigger and better! But before I get to that, let’s first get to the result of the raffle for my anniversary RAPS. Thank you for all your comments – and the sentiments expressed in them. I am still blushing. You are…
Dear all, just a quick post today – but I wanted to let you know that I received the auction proceeds last night, and this morning I immediately donated them to Action for Children via Richard’s JustGiving page. I bumped up the proceeds to a nice, round sum, and because I wanted to transfer the…
And before I go to bed I just want to post the final tally of the Chop charity auction. The last few minutes of the auction saw some exciting action. 19 Euro in eight minutes! How cool!!! (I wish I earned money at that rate…) So, the Chop fan package went for a whopping €167…
The last 30 minutes of the charity auction are just starting. There was more action today, and the bid has moved up. We are currently at €145 – which translates into $178 or £127. Can we move it a little bit to a tidy sum like €150? Or even $200? Or £130? There has been…
When it’s auction time, I usually love going to bed. Because there is always a surprise to wake up to. Today is no exception. After the second Chop auction update last night which included some unsubtle prompting, the fandom reacted, and I woke up to this: Hooray hooray hooray! You are fabulous, dear bidders! We…
The final 24 hours of the Spontaneous Chop Auction have started and I’ll give a quick update. The Chop fan package has garnered 10 bids so far and I would like to thank those of you who have placed bids so far. You have pushed the price for the plushie and shrine set to €91.50…
As promised, here’s a little update regarding the charity auction for the little fan package that Sinnamin and I have put together. The auction went live on eBay last night. The first bid came in overnight, too, and the price has already risen a little bit. Thank you to the bidders for starting us off.…
The voice of the people has spoken! We have a spontaneous charity auction coming up!! In today’s RAPS post I asked you what to do with the Chop shrine, and the answer was more or less unanimous – auction it off for charity. No sooner had the first feedback appeared, when our one and only…
