Pink for October

In case it's not obvious, I've decided to go Pink for October. Ta-daaa!

Well, pink and pinky-purple. And blue. I didn't have time to do a full redesign. Maybe next month - I've been meaning to change this one anyway.

Not Dead!

Despite appearances, the blogathon didn't kill me. Hoorah! It did wipe me out for a bit there, though, and then I had to spend some time catching up on the things I'd got behind on while I was thus wiped out. But anyway, now I'm back and feelin' fiiiiine.

So!

And I raised a fantastic $199.66, which translates to £98.64 in real money, all thanks to my wonderful sponsors:
- Heather
- Ally
- Noxie
- Ramona
- Mum
- Carla
- hellolovely
- Anonymous
- Ambermoggie
- talesfromtheplain
- Liz
THANK YOU, guys. And thank you to my excellent charity, MDF, who sent me a lovely email and have invited me to submit a piece for the charity's quarterly magazine about the blogathon and why I chose them as my charity. I'll be sending that off to them shortly, so you never know, I might even get in print. :-)

I'd like to highlight a few of the posts I made during the 'thon - the ones that got the actual content, really. It was amazingly hard to write what feel like 'full' posts to me for every one, because it just takes me too long! So there ended up just being a relatively small number of more meaty ones, interspersed by briefer comments. Anyway, the ones I wanted to point out are:
- Bipolar Disorder, and MDF: The Bipolar Organisation
- Fetching So Far
- Excitement! I Won!
- Forest Canopy
- My First Socks
- Loopylou and the Multitude of HP Scarves

I guess that's all on the 'thon until another year, then. Maybe next year, maybe not! It's been three years since I did it last, so I'm not going to commit myself now. But I certainly do intend to do it again... and try to remember next time not to do pretty much a full day's activity *before* I start, next time...

And now we return you to our non-regularly scheduled knitting posts!

Jobity!

I forgot to mention - I have a job! :-D As of tomorrow, I start as a freelancing / contractor web designer. Woohoo! So, er, I'm off to bed in a mo, since I have to actually get up in the morning at a specific time. Wheee. Yes, I'm a little excited. *geeeeeeeek*

Parry Hotter is teh devilllll! Clearly. O.o

Pupil Appeals Harry Potter 'Witchcraft'

Well. Huh. Witchcraft manuals, eh? Funny, cos they don't read much like any actual witchcraft manual that I've seen... *snerk*
