Apologies, and an appeal

[miss_s_b]

Sorry for the hiatus in the blog awards. On the plus side, I passed my belt grading for karate last night. On the minus side, Byron has suspected cancer. He is booked in to the vet on Thursday for (hopefully) removal and cure. But we don't know at this point what's going to be involved; the vet doesn't know until he's gone in and extracted bits for testing. I suspect we are looking at a minimum of £400.

I haven't got £400.

UPDATE: thanks to the wonderful generosity of The Internet we should be fine now. Thank you all. Closing comments on this post now, so that if people miss this update they aren't still offering.

What I have got is lots of Collectable Stuff. So I'm going to make an offer here, oh internets. If I have any Stuff that you might want, make me an offer. Stuff is Stuff, but Byron is my baby, and my house is too full of Stuff anyway. I am willing to sell any of it to help make my baby better.

Things that I have which some of you might want to buy:

• Ropey old Ford Ka that needs its brakes fixing
• hundreds of CDs, including this Queen box set with all the packaging intact
• Lots and lots of books including folio society stuff, and the unseen university editions of much Pratchett. Also lots of complete Sherlock Holmes's in various editions
• hundreds of DVDs, including lots of Star Trek and Doctor Who - for example all the Trek box sets, all 4 series of Blake's 7, all the red dwarf, etc.
• Lots and lots of rare/limited edition/etc. vinyl - 6 foot bookcase full of it
• various action figures and things

The list is not exhaustive, but it gives you a flavour. If there's something you want, whatever it is, ask me if I've got it and we'll go from there - although checking the comments to see if someone else hasn't already asked might be a plan. At this point I am willing to consider most offers because it all adds up, but I need the money quickly, so you'll understand if I ask for bank transfer or cash over the counter only; no cheques or paypal.

Do feel free to pass the link to this post around, too.

Thanks.

Dodgy metal CDs? I could do with filling in some gaps in my collection: Foo Fighters/Blink 182/Limp Bizkit/Linkin Park/Metallica/Placebo might be good places to start.

I have lots of Black Sabbath/Meat Loaf/Placebo/Motley Crue/Green Day/Guns N Roses/Ozzy Osbourne which I am willing to send you if you donate the money to Jennie.
