Wow!  That's good. There is lots of lovely stuff and I can't help myself but bid!! When do we start bumping, top bidding etc? Do you want me to start a spreadsheet?  :wow:
Title: Re: AUCTION 2015 TOTAL
Post by: Gill (sneakiefeline) on November 25, 2015, 15:07:28 PM
Yes pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Just simple with names of threads in alpha order and the person who put it on to start with. Currentbid and high bidder if possible.................I know they are changing all the time but would help my one grey cell!

We dont have anyone to bump and stuff so any volunteers will be gladly welcomed.

Bumping etc would not be every night

When do you want top bids done on threads? Tonight? or tomorrow night? (and then is the night after we start bumping? blah, stupid brain).

Have emailed you the spreadsheet so far, any problems with it let me know, the total is good  :wow:
Title: Re: AUCTION 2015 TOTAL
Post by: Gill (sneakiefeline) on November 25, 2015, 18:18:19 PM
Thank you the spread sheet is great and yes the totall wonderful  ;) ;) ;)

You were so quick...............afraid it took me a long time just to get it saved  :-[ :-[

What usually happens is bumping and top bids done at same time cos top bids done in a certain order automatically bumps stuff.

Tonight or tomorrow would be great.

If you are interested lets talk by PM  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Any other helpers to update the streadsheet would be wonderful  :shify: :shify:

Brilliant, especially considering how tight everybody's finances are at the moment, 5 years pay freezes are no fun  >:( 

Thank you to all the organisers for your hard work, it has been great fun as always.

Wow - that's brilliant considering there's much less dosh to go round these days.   :wow: :wow:

Everyone involved in putting the Auction together, ensuring its smooth running and obtaining sponsorship and donating items has done their usual faultless job, and made yet another Auction a runaway success. 

There's a lot of hard work goes on behind the scenes, so big hugs and a big thank you for letting us have so much fun whilst raising money for cats in need.

Money will be on the move tonight and also got some other fab things, people are just so very kind  ;D ;D

This auction was one of the best in my opinion and so love the old system best where its so easy to make sarky comments and stuff  by the side of the post :evillaugh:

Had a great laugh for 2 weeks of madness  ;D ;D ;D

It was fun wasn't it?  I am really happy with the stuff I got.  There was other stuff I wish I'd bid on (why oh why did I not bid on hoolies calendar?  I don't have a calendar for next year yet) but I am chuffed with what I won. 

I will be paying on Thursday by bank transfer - late but within the time limit.  where are the details for bank transfer?  can someone pm me?

If you would like me to send to sponsors I would be only to happy to help and as the list is given out in March I would have plenty of (unemployed) time I expect as my contract finishes on 01/04/2016.

Ok Paula but the downside first  :shify: :shify:

All sponsors that send stuff to you need to be stored, packed and sent out by you  :-[

Obviously Purrs will refund the P&P charges but cannot refund the time at end of auction in 2nd week of Dec and maybe 3rd week  :scared:

Oh and of course the threads will need to be made have photos on and posted on when items sent out!

Let me know if you are still interested  ;D ;D ;D

Wow, what a wonderful result!! Ron is so pleased with the outcome. He can't thank you all enough, for those who took part in the auction, especially to Tan and Gill for organising it.

We have just taken on 11 young cats and kittens with nothing done to them and they came in in a terrible state, dirty and full of fleas, they came from one household, so this is coming at a time we need the support the most.

Ron apologises for not being so active this year with the auction and posting on Purrs, his health is stable but he is left very tired, he starts radiotherapy in January so all a bit intense.

Ron wishes everyone the Very Best of New Years

and from me Fiona(volunteer) xx
