Its time for me to hang up my scarf and hat and say goodbye to the auction and thank everyone over the last 7 years going back to Cat Chat for all the money that we have raised :hug: :hug:
Thank you to Tan for all the help and a wonderful idea that she had which has has benefitted so many cats :wow:
Time is catching me up and need to leave the auction in younger hands as it is so much work and I really cant cope with it anymore. I have enjoyed it tremenduasily over the years and I reckon we have raised over £12000 during that time :wow: :wow:
I hope that Purrs peeps will come together next year with a newish team to run the 2012 Auction where I will be a happy bidder, although I have a tear in my eye.
I hope you all have a great Christmas .

A massive thanks to you Gill for all your hard work over the years - am on the iPod so can't do smilies at the moment but will add the appropriate gold stars etc later!
I hope the auction continues to be a success following on in your footsteps - am always flabbergasted at the amounts raised!

Thank you Helen, that is so much appreciated ;D
Am feeling a bit tearful right now but afraid I have had to do this.

Well done you old git :evillaugh: :rofl: :Luv2: :hug:
You've done really well over the years and a lot of pressure at the time with ill cats etc. as well as us lot not taking any notice of the rules and wanting to know the total straight away when it is impossible for you to do it in a nano second :innocent: :naughty:
Happy retirement from the Auction. :thanks: :hug:
Mary :hug:
-
Thank you from me too. This was my first auction and I really enjoyed it but could see how much hard work it was. You did a wonderful job and I hope you enjoy bidding next year :thanks:
-
Thank you very much and appreciate all the kind words, ;D
Yes Tan it was all for the cats and hope we have helped many over the years.
I think this years auction was great fun and have never seen so many cats bidding LOL and the newbies and first timers added loads to the event with humour etc :wow:
The amount raised was incredible and I never thought we would make £1500 until I started on the Spread sheet at the end, then it reached £1600 and then £1700 and my mind was blown. Then all the little additions from the very kind and generous Purrs peeps made us go over £1800................took my breath away ;D
Yes Mary then there are all the little questions and pms but we get there in the end and I have had a fantastic 7 years, loads of laughs behind the scenes and on the threads ;D ;D

Although this was only my first auction, which I enjoyed immensely, I was acutely aware of how much work you had to put in :hug:
All those hours and hours of brainache and commitment, sifting, sorting, pulling and pushing :reading 2: to do it over and over again for seven years is something to be very proud of. I salute you. :thankyou:
See you on this side next year :rofl: :Crazy: :evillaugh: :sneaky: :xmas1:
