Very sorry that Tiny s picture didnt get transfered but it has been now

Shame on you Gill  :slap:  I think my beautiful bridge baby should get extra votes for having been so cuelly omitted.

 :thanks: Janey for spotting it.

I have to say I'm finding voting impossible - they're all brilliant.

The auction finishes at 1900 precisely on Sun 7 Dec by the Purrs clock and money can be sent in as soon as we post the instructions, which will take up to 3 hours to do on every thread.

Items must not be sent out until the money has been received. So this will be when cheques have cleared if payment is by cheque.

If you win an item it maybe as well to tell the auctioneer to send it after Christmas cos things get delayed at this time of year but I will leave you to decide what to to.

Happy bidding  ;D

When does the auction finish and when do we need to send in the money? I want to bid but I will be away over Christmas.

Thanks

I have no idea what I bid on or how much either.  :rofl: :rofl: Don't worry, it's not a big deal as I've been saving my pennies to have fun.  ;)

But I have a nasty feeling I have lumbered myself with some dodgy looking tea flavoured sweeties Tan listed - no one else has bid on them since.  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

 :thanks:

Jasmine - I've listed out the bids as of 17.20 and have PMd them to you.  By the time you read it, it will be out-of-date, but at least you'll be able to check the items you were top bidder on  ;)

You did it last year - or someone did - and it was very helpful to remind me what I had bid on.  But if there's no plan to do it again this year, then I'll trawl through tomorrow myself.

If anyone else is as profligate as I am with their bids  ;) and would like to see the fruits of my labours, drop me a PM.

Are you planning to do an interim list of who holds the top bid on each item?  I don't mind helping with this tomorrow as obviously it's a bit of a faff, but you may have it covered already?

Auction finishes at 1900 hours on Sunday 7 Dec and the last bids will be recorded by the Purrs site clock and 1900 means precisely by that clock...one second later and you have had it  :rofl: :rofl:

Then the job is for me and helpers I hope, to post up how to pay your money and send stuff out to the winning bidders  ;D
