You have got to keep things secret Ellen cos this lot are waiting for hints to stop bidding on something and go elsewhere  :shify: :shify:

We need to get highest bids on everything, so you sneakily slide a new one in and sit back and watch the fun  ;D

If no postage is shown in the original post and there have been bids , then there is no postage.

Well tomorrow me off to try and get some nice wool colours for more toys for the auction, at least food shopping is done and was over the moon when I saw Felix as good as it looks back on offer at Morrisons.  Someone did ask about Rabbit Whiskas supermeat being available on its own and it is  ;)

Here is my adorable Toesy whilst I am doing items for the Auction and whilst it is going on.  In the sweet box behind him the red box is actually catnip  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

He is 12 years old now but came to me aged 4 months as a feral.

At least I know mine was purely accident as they are normally so good but they were playing and one jumped and caught the pots on the draining board with a back paw and then it was a smashing time as the saying goes.  At least non of the cats have cut themselves it was more a misjudgement of distance.

Have visited a couple of the sites by doing that Gill and bookmarked them on the browser to go back and have a better look and one had a bag shown but was out of stock so intend going back for that when it is due in again

I was thrilled to see all the different sponsors too, some big names like PAH and Simon's cat, some smaller companies as well as lots of lovely independent people on Etsy and stuff, you really did a great job! I'm trying to take some photos now of my first auction

Feline Customier have sent you a mail with suggestion as you only need a square of about 6inches x 6 inches maximum for them and of course some stuffing.

I'm keeping an eye on the different sponsors that scroll through when you change page and I have to say, hats off to those who were on the corporate pestering committee, it looks like we are going to have some great items this year.

I am still racking my brains for something I can auction, I have some ideas but my fabric box is looking a little sad so need to think a bit more creatively!

Please note bidders and sellers and everyone, there must be no posting on item threads without a bid attached, this will be seen as bumping and will be removed............ :innocent:

All bumping will be done by the night staff to give all items a fair chance  ;D
