Well I've just picked meself up off the floor, the cats thought I'd had heart attack I think.  That is amazing and that figure will rise cos peeps are already rounding amounts up when sending it to me, already have received about £500.

This site that you have set up Tan is the best thing that has ever happened to me and my kitties and we are all so grateful to you and Gill and EVERYONE.

We will have to get together before Christmas - I have to pick up my Christmas surprise box, which I am paying myself tomorrow for, transferring money from my private account to Eight Lives account.

THANK YOU 100 TIMES OVER AND 100 TIMES MORE. :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:

Title: Re: WOW - AUCTION TOTAL - WOW
Post by: Gill (sneakiefeline) on December 09, 2007, 23:55:30 PM
I think we also got about another £100 to add to that total due to a couple of things missed on the grand list but also on Gillians Pastel there will now be two and another £63 is to go on  ;D ;D

So with all the roundings and stuff hopefully Lesley will be able to give us a final figure later and it could be very close to the magic £2k........I am in total shock  ;D

 :yayyy: :grouphug: :Flowers: :Party 3:

Didn't we do well. Is there only 1 auction a year?  I really enjoyed this and I'm sure Dave D and Leigh K were taking pity on me.  Good fight they both put up BUT the best girl won!!   :catluv: :best 2:

by the way - I can't find Lesley's email to ask her for the address to post my cheque to.

Mary
Title: Re: WOW - AUCTION TOTAL - WOW
Post by: Tan on December 10, 2007, 00:29:33 AM
Yes to add to the 1836.35 is

£63 from Susanne for a pastel portrait from Gillian  :wow:  :hug: :thanks:

And Roz £10 for the behind the sofa babes.

And i missed £10 from Han for kitten names


So total so far is .....................1919.35

And i know lots are rounding up payments so Les will give us a total at the end.  ;D
Title: Re: WOW - AUCTION TOTAL - WOW
Post by: Tan on December 10, 2007, 00:34:17 AM
Hi Mary brill aint it  ;D  Yeap only one auction a year so we can save up all our auction items in the year and put loads up for it.

We will have various small fundraisers throughout the year though and they will be lotsa fun too.  ;D

yes sadly only one auction a year -

With my sensible head on, sadly that only happens occasionally.  ;D I would think that more than one a year would be too much, not so exciting and possibly not so much raised.

Do you really have Moldovan money?? If you do I'd love to make you an offer for it ... my friend collects foreign "bank notes" and he would kill to get hold of some of that.

:larf:  Crazy aswell I think  :naughty:

That's quite possibly one of the nicest things that anyone has ever said to me, I think I prefer the term "eccentric", in the time-honoured tradition of British eccentrics that is  ;D ;D

Cheers

Leigh

That is Fabulous news.  I know I rounded up to, and I think many others have to, so that 2k will of be broken. Give 'My' George a hugh-mongous cuddle, God love all of those babes.

It's being so cheerful wot keeps me 'appy throughout a year that has often been quite "crappy" ;D

Move over Lord Byron  ;D

I didn't know your OH was 1/2 Italian Dawn, I couldn't detect any accent.

Now this IS eccentric. The other day when I was in Wilkinsons they had just had installed new electronic touch-screen tills and when I looked at my till receipt I noticed that it had included on it bananas, THEY DON'T SELL BANANAS. They were duelly apologetic and refunded said item and put it down to "gremlins" in the new system. A day or two later I was again in Wilkinsons and after studying my reciept to check that it was "banana-free" I couldn't resist breaking into song "Yes we 'ave no bananas, we 'ave no bananas today!".  ;D Sometimes life give one an un-missable oportunity for such things  ;D my motto in such cases is "Carpe Diem"  ;D ;D

Cheers

Leigh

Hi Leigh - where I live it is amazingly cold - ice on the inside of my car windows this morning aswell as outside and that was at 9.00 a.m.  Had a doctor's appointment at 9.10 and had to scrape it all off really quick.  So.... the penguin will feel at home :rofl:

You and Dawn talking of Italy is getting me excited.  I go there every year (Lido do Jesolo, nr Venice) on my own and made friends with a lovely Italian family same age as me with 2 children.  Just sent their 'Natale' pressies off today. They came to stay with me 2 years ago at Christmas and we phone and email very often.  Attached photo of Erika in my house with my Smudge who is missing.  She cried on the phone when I told her and she wanted to come here to help me find him.

 :rofl: :rofl: Mary the penguin would feel at home here too,

Edit, who needs punctuation anyway?, that should read Mary, the penguin, I wasn't referring to a penguin called Mary although Mary is a very nice name for a penguin  ;D
any penguin (not only Mary penguin) would feel at home in this weather.

Very cold here too especially overnight last night and this morning. I went to Lake Guarda three years ago and it was absolutely beautiful, I went into Venice and did the gondolla bit, great. How nice that you have a family to stay with, all my travels over the years have been on my own but one makes one's own fun but it's nicer to have company. Still nowdays I don't go away at all because of the puds but I wouldn't have it any other way, I've travelled a lot over the years so I've seen my share of foriegn places. That's a lovely picture of Erika and Smudge, as I said in one of my other post "never give up hope".

Cheers

Leigh

good luck with the christmas presents Mary, we sent a box of christmas puddings to mil and they still haven't arrived two weeks later! - Leigh oh doesn't have an Italian accent, he was born in Ely but does have an Italian mother and a very english RAF squadron leader father

Dawn - Christmas puds, bet they cost a fortune to send with the weight!!  Erika's mum and dad bought one when they weere here for her teacher and Fulvio and Ester also bought one for the travel agent.  Hope they get them soon as I've had an email to say my pressies have a arrived and Erika couldn't wait and has opened hers!

Leigh - Can't sleep, not haad my fish yet!!!  :rofl:  :evillaugh:
Don't worry I'll never give up on my Smudgeroo, even though it's driving me mad changing all the posters as this rain is making the ink run even though I've put them in plastic wallets and taped them up.  Roll on the sunshine, or better still, roll on Smudgie coming home to me.

Mary  :catluv:

Just done something that I meant to do but never had time during auction, and that was to count how many items we had.  ;D

It was just over 130  :wow: :wow: :wow:

Then the pastels turned into two and we also had the naming and sponsorship threads which did so wonderfully well.

Just want to give you all a round of applause , for being so great and also how fast the money is passing to Lesley  ;D

I think the sponsering a babe was a fantastic idea.

Maybe one to keep for the future  ;)

I think I have received most, if not all the money now and the grand total today is  ............................









 :party: :party: :party:£2,010.51  :party: :party: :party:   


and that's after paypal have taken their share, the actual amount sent was


 :party: :party: :party:£2,071.60 :party: :party: :party:


 :thankyou: so much.

The intensive care unit and accessories has arrived today and I will take photos when I have it at home so you can see where some of the money has gone.

We shall probably be giving the cat room a re-vamp and replacing the laminate flooring, which has been ruined by little accidents  :sick: with tiles and under floor heating for the babies to keep warm but as soon as I know, you will know.

Special thanks to Tan for this website and Gill for all her hard work with regard to the auction.

YOU PEEPS ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD, AND I AM PROUD TO CALL YOU ALL FRIENDS

That is fantastic  :bow: to everyone who was involved in raising the money, and of course Tan and Gill for co-ordinating the whole auction process.

People pulling together like this to raise money is just amazing, and I for one am very proud to be involved in a forum with such brilliant people  ;D

My goodness Lesley I was hoping we may get to £2000 but am stunned almost into silence   :rofl: :rofl:

What an absolutly amazing puuuuuuuuuformance by everyone who took part on Purrs, thank you each and everyone of you  :hug: :hug: :hug:

The auction is hard work but when I see a result like that it makes all the late nights worth it and all I can say is start collecting for next years auction  :rofl: :rofl:

I would also like to say a big thank you for everyone sending their money in so fast and making life easy for me in this respect. I know that many items are still in transit and at least one person has a problem sending at the moment, but if you havent got addresses to send stuff to, pester and if you havent heard that your item is in the post, please check.

I wish everyone A Very Happy Christmas and I am sure that the new equipment that Lesley has been able to purchase will give some kitties a better chance of life in the New Year  ;D ;D ;D
