We are this close | | to a final total and have one cheque not received yet, one payment outstanding or not identfied and one payment not identified. It would be so good if the last two were the same.

I soooooooooooo want to put up the final total  :wow: :wow:

Seems like items are being posted and recieved quite well, the post a bit slow but.................

Thanks for the link Sam but unfortunately the cmos battery is at least two layers down so not straight forward and am scared to lose the info that I wanted to access when the bloomin thing died.

Thabks very much Sam  ;D

How do you get a new keyboard on a lappy, well really I would just like to get under the mouse pad........sigh

Easy peasy Gill .... take out a couple of screws from the underneath of the lappy, pop out the old keyboard, connect the new keyboard, pop it in place and rescrew! Ta da ... lappy worjing again.  Needless to say I won't be leaving any mugs of tea near it anymore and the ferret is banned from the room  :rofl: :rofl:

I'm back with a vengeance! Finally managed to fit my new keyboard on the laptop so I am now in full working order again! Apologies for the delay in getting everything sent out this year ... it's a bleedin' pain not having internet access and having to send a load of boxes via courier.  I will be sorting all the courier boxes out this week so by Saturday everything will  be sent out.

Next challenge is getting 7 big boxes (each weighing 7 kg) in my little car to get them to the courier drop off place  :rofl: ) .... I think in might be a couple of journeys  ;)

Hi ya folks ... I have very limited access to the internet ... but don't worry I'll make sure I get all your winnings sent out ASAP.  I can't really update threads etc as I am having to do sneaky bits at work  :shify:  but as long as I have your address you can rest assured I'm on the case :-)

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took part in the auction .... this years total is amazing and it really warms the heart to know that even in these difficult financial times there are still alot of folk out there willing to do a bit for charity whether that's the generosity of the sponsors or the wonderful forum members who bid on the items.

Thank you everyone

Thank you everyone who made this whole thing happen.  :thanks:
I have no idea what I've won but I do know I was pipped by Ange on some food - but my last minute bid tactics didn't work this year as I lost connection in the last minute  :doh:

Hope I got one of the Igloo toilets for Pursley, and I may have won a sweet piece of jewellery for myself  :shy: Anything else, frankly, would be a miracle.  :innocent:

Oh Sheila, i think i won one of the Igloo things :-: I was after a bed or self heating beds to send to Paws inn kitties for Christmas but it seems with all the excitment and rush i bid on the wrong item. :rofl:
We are more than happy to let Pursley have the Igloo , thats if you want it  :) :hug:

I am sure Anuty T is sitting with all our Bridge babies and thinking they get worse with the last minute bids and the manic rush

We have also raised a wonderdul amount for Paws Inn Aunty T's legacy so it is a bitter sweet time all round but I think she would be very proud of us ;D

 :welcome: to Purrs melbell, apologies if I was mean to you if you were outbidding me on anything  :evillaugh: I blame auction fever  :evillaugh:

KIPA - so pleased you joined in this year and that you got your wins  :wow:

As for me, there was just waaaaaay too much stuff this year - it was impossible to focus on all the things I wanted and get the last minute bids in so I missed out on quite a few things I was interested but the main things is that we have all raised a humungous amount for the cats and kittens of Paws Inn - three cheers for Purrs people!
