FINAL TOTAL paid over to PAWS INN via Bank transfer at the end of December was ..................  £2303.73.   ;D ;D ;D

I do believe there may be some more to be added being paid direct to Paws Inn so will update if and when it is paid.

I want to thank you all so very much from the bottom of my heart for everyone who helped us raise such a wonderful amount.  This is one reason i am soo proud to know you kind hearted fantastic people.  :hug: :thanks:

So pleased to hear that - everyone deserves a pat on the back.  I think Brucie should be here to say..... DIDN'T THEY DO WELL.  :rofl:

By the way Tan I forgot to tell you, my mum was happy with the tea candy.  She was even more pleased when I told her that wasn't her only present!  :hug:

Thank you very much Beanie  ;D

I must also pay tribute to the help of Hannah, who every night who assisted with each nights postings and also all of the helpers who took over when my puter went down two nights before the end. I toast everyone who had a finger in the auction this year,  :thanks: :thanks:

When the auction is running its fun but also a tiny bit stressful cos I never know quite whether we are doing well or not and as its the big fund raiser each year, so important. The last few hours on the final Sunday are always amazing and this year I had to watch from afar on a lappy with this mini-writing and thought we had done good but still wasnt sure quite how good .................it was very good  :wow:

All the fabulous people on Purrs reduce me to tears each year when I see the total and without all of you the auction couldnt happen, so please forgive my odd plugs throught the year to save things for  the next auction  ;D...........ummmmmmmmm November 2009  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Outstanding work people. It helps to restore my faith in human nature.

Gill - Although you and I have not seen eye to eye in the past on cat issues (and doubtless in the future), take a bow as you have done a great job on the fund-raising side.

We are nearly there Purrs Peeps  ;D

And the total for auction is still rising

I have just pmed a few who still need to pay

Think there is one sizeable donation still to come

But

The current Provisional toatl of money already received

And in Tans sticky hand

Is














£2300




Sorry I just fainted cos I had been forcasting £1000 if we did well !

Well done you staggeringly generous people and the cats at Paws Inn will benefit at least by this amount.

As soon as I know the final total it will posted up  ;D
