After a couple of delays, we are now ready to launch our impromptu charity sale in aid of the victims of the February earthquake in Turkey and Syria. Even though five weeks have passed since the earthquake struck, donations are still needed to provide shelter, medical and psychological help to those who were affected. The…
35 days without posting. I have never been away from my blog for this long. It wasn’t really a planned hiatus. In the beginning, I just felt lazy and decided to give the first 2023 tumblr round-up a miss. And then the second. And the third. The longer I kept silent, the harder it became…
Did you know that the history of *all* our fundraisers actually started with an impromptu response to a humanitarian crisis? Way before the fundraisers grew into an annual birthday – and later a holiday season – celebration to funnel our gift budget for Richard into charitable causes, the very first fundraiser on this blog was…
A huge big thank you to all readers here for their prompt and shopping-happy reaction on yesterday’s charity flash sale. Even without prior notice, orders came pouring in within minutes of publishing my blog post. Kate’s tags and RAngels were hot sellers, with all but one, single tag snapped up last night.

Before I fritter away this day as well, I just wanted to actually get back to a couple of important things. RIP JustGiving Pages Following on from my suspicion the other day that all of Armitage’s JustGiving sites seemed to have been disabled, Servetus suggested I contact JustGiving directly and ask. I did, and I…
50 days until Christmas, so now we can start with the C word… So, upon request, here is the official announcement: We’ll have another fundraiser, in time for the holidays. To that end, I am planning the event for three days in the first week of December. Exact dates tba at a later stage, but…
I don’t think I have ever had a week that has passed as quickly as this one. It’s all down to the fundraiser – first there was the organisation of it all last Friday and Saturday, and then the actual auctions with updates and final results from Sunday to Wednesday. Sorry for the spam, everyone,…
Sorry for the spam, but here is a quick FYI: Prompted by an anonymous supporter and donor to our fundraiser, I have just created a Donate button in the side bar of this blog. This may be particularly handy for those of you who do *not* have Paypal as the button both facilitates Paypal as…
