Great. So when does bidding commence, remind me...

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #56 on:** November 08, 2008, 17:06:29 PM »

Oh yes she has been in on the little secret longer than anyone cept me and Tan

We can be really quiet and hush hush when we want

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #55 on:** November 08, 2008, 17:02:06 PM »

Has anyone told Teresa (she's been poorly in hospital and has just come home today)?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #54 on:** November 07, 2008, 18:41:15 PM »

Oh yes I think it will be loads of fun again cos if you go back to the 2006 auction there is an amazing thread about catnip there too........some similiar protagonists

The instructions are nearly finished and there will also be a chatting about the auction thread too......think I musta been more organized last year cos we only chatted on that thread

I can smell apple pie and now need the custard

Just had a look at last year's auction

I'd forgotten just how many lots there were. Brilliant. Hope its as much fun this year. With the extra commercial goodies it promises to be.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #52 on:** November 07, 2008, 16:34:10 PM »

I think in the interests of good PR, you should

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #51 on:** November 07, 2008, 16:31:40 PM »

Can I spill the beans about our little extra secret yet?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #50 on:** November 07, 2008, 15:37:46 PM »

Sounds good Julie

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #49 on:** November 07, 2008, 15:31:26 PM »

Just to say I have bought some packs of charity Xmas cards - mostly CP but some others as well - and will be donating them to the auction. I just loved the designs and couldn't resist buying but when I stopped to think I realised I had enough supplies to last for 4 years!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #48 on:** November 07, 2008, 15:01:01 PM »

Just think two weeks of that

maryas · « **Reply #47 on:** November 07, 2008, 14:49:36 PM »

So glad you put last year's thread on Helen - just been laughing my head off and everyone in the office thinks I'm crazier than ever now

Brought back some really good memories.

Mary

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #46 on:** November 07, 2008, 14:46:10 PM »

Indeed i will be posting how to do this very shortly

Lots of fun was had and many of the threads are very good

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #45 on:** November 07, 2008, 14:34:29 PM »

Yep, as Dawn says each item has it's own thread in a special Xmas Auction board. Gill will be posting instructions soon so keep your eyes peeled

Meanwhile have a look at last years Auction board with all the posts on.

This was a particularly fun thread, even if I didn't win in the end

maryas · « **Reply #39 on:** November 06, 2008, 18:34:32 PM »

Gill/Dawn

I went same time last year for the 1st time (you might not remember, as I'd only been on here a short while). Only snag was I didn't enjoy the company of the 2 friends I went with - they wanted to look in clothes shops that we have at home and go in Irish pubs!!! I like a drink but not that kind of a drink and not that kind of place - not my scene. So this time I am going on my own.

I stayed at a hotel in Wenceslas square and I'm going back there this time. I posted a few pics last year - my fave was a guy walking his goat!!!!! I was trying to send some to a couple of people I work with last week and I don't know why but there's something wrong with that file of pics - if I sort it out I will let you see them. If not I'll show you the ones from this time. It snowed the day before we were there last year and then it was quite mild the rest of the time.

Dawn, that's such a shame about you not having a pc at home but whatever it is that you've sorted I hope you do well.

Mary x

Dawn F · « **Reply #38 on:** November 06, 2008, 15:23:25 PM »

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #37 on:** November 06, 2008, 15:21:45 PM »

Dawn F · « **Reply #36 on:** November 06, 2008, 15:19:12 PM »

don't worry Mary, I've lost out the last two years because the auction ends at the weekend and I don't have internet at home - this year I have a plan! - I love Prague too, I stayed at a lovely hotel near the museum at the top of the square

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #35 on:** November 06, 2008, 13:22:40 PM »

Thats OK Mary cos it will be waiting for you when you come back

It lasts for 2 weeks..........didnt I mention that somewhere

Praha.............oh my fav city, say high to it for me........well dobry den

Where abouts are you staying..........you may also have snow..............please take loads of pics.

have you been there before? oooooooo so exciting

maryas · « **Reply #34 on:** November 06, 2008, 12:25:50 PM »

I know you can't fit things around me BUT.............. I go to Prague 30th November and get back 3rd December and I will not have access to Purrs

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #33 on:** November 05, 2008, 16:22:43 PM »

Woo Hooo .... without letting the proverbial cat out of the bag .... I would just like to say to anyone who has never experienced the complete and utter madness that is the "XMAS AUCTION" you really must join us as I know for a fact there are going to be some really fab items up for auction this year

There is something for everyone, cats and humans, alike so "come on down" and watch this space for more details for Gill re dates, times, etc.

As Gill said all proceeds will be going to help Paws Inn and it's feline residents.

Local PO has been closed down by the PO so cant just pop down the road now for the weights and prices and stuff any more.

Sophie is saving her pennies cos she wants a MUG this year and Oscar is all inscrutable (being oriental) but is willing to swap Sophie

Liz · « **Reply #20 on:** October 23, 2008, 19:57:34 PM »

Gwen think we need a Mug strategy!!!!

I am currently counting out the Clan Cats pocket money and their donations from Granddad - he saves all his loose change for them and haven't counted the last 3 lots yet so I'm sure they can all have a bid for something they don't need!
