Well I have a few announcements to make :sneaky:
First is welcome to all ther new bidders who are with us for the first time this year ;D
Its especially for you I am saying this cos the old hands know thew score :shify: :shify:
I am only gonna say it once and then you are on your own :rofl: :rofl:
One can get carried away at auctions and get caught needing deep pockets :innocent:
I would recommend to you to keep a running total of your bids...............oh yes........and also how much the postage is cos you have to pay the stated amount too :scared:
The auction will not end until 2 weeks tomorrow, so add small amounts not big chunks......well I mean you can add big chunks if you want and we are ceratinly willing to take as much as you bid but its hard to do that for 2 weeks :-[
So lots of little bids to sneak up on peeps is more fun ;D
I think thats the end of the announcements for tonight and I wont be giving totals every night :sneaky:
Tonight being the first night there has to be a total and for a short day the bidding has been fast and furious and even sneakie :evillaugh:
A fabulous start every one and tonght we have
ummmmmm
how much was it
wheres my post it
Oh yes....shhhhhh Franta
£209
:thanks: :thanks: :thanks: Great start ;D
-
;D Hurrah!

:yayyy: :yayyy: :yayyy: :yayyy: :yayyy: :yayyy: :grouphug:

Great amount of money after 1 night - well done everyone.

Lots more items going up as well :wow:
-
i have a couple of little things to go in :shify:
-
I have a (whisper it) Panic Mouse to go in :shify:
-
Today...ummmmm yesterday has been brisk and busy with bids ;D
Franta has now come to help me post and annoy Misa who is trying to take up all the desk :rofl:
Actually he is telling me its bedtime ;D
I have a polite request to make........Ok you may not think it polite lol but am trying..................yes I know very trying :shify: :shify:
Please can you not bump your own items up as it makes it difficult for the auctioneering team at night to sort out the threads :innocent:
We try to make sure everyones item gets as much publicity as we can but we cant dorce peeps to bid on it :(
Sooooooooooo on another wet and windy day at auction HQ we have a new total tonight
Yes we do :wow:
And its an excellent effort
Really excellent :Luv:
And the total tonight is
£295 ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
:wooooo:

:wooooo: :wooooo: :wooooo:

Wow, this much already!!!
Just wonderful, keep the bidding going higher peeps, such a wonderful cause ;D ;D ;D
-
definately need more bids and also some new items to tickle the fancy :innocent:

-
:wow: thats good ;D
ps.....whatever I have already bid on will be mine, it will be a fight to the death :innocent: :evillaugh:
(well not death exactly :scared: )
-
Good evening/morning or whatever all ;D
Thought I would just pop in to give you some news from Auction HQ :shify:
The bidding has been fast and furious today and I thought another total would be in order.
We still have a long way to go and new items are welcomed every day and new bids of course ;D
Just for the record the weather is awful here and all cats are inside.
Misa was thinking of going out but the thunder sterted so he changed his mind.
Before that we had hail beating against the windows followed by torrential rain all accompanied by gales.
What was it I was gonna say :scared:
I am sure it was important :innocent:
Come on Franta remind me..........oh yes thats right........the action total :rofl: :rofl:
Tonight we have reached
£402 .......just wonderful and thanks to everyone who is bidding ;D
-
:wow: well done folks
-
Woohoo, keep bidding everybuddy!!!!!
-
;D thats really good mews! purrfect....pawfully good! :evillaugh:
-
Yeayyy! :)
-
:wooooo: :yayyy: :yayyy: :dance: :dance:
Mary
-
No total tonight :shify: :shify: :rofl:
I lose my calculator every other night or so :evillaugh:
Just to mention............yes always stuff to mention LOL but all totals are not including P&P which will be lumped on after the auction has closed for nice surprise bump ;D
As you may notice items without bids are now slipping below a line into the basement and its up to you to bid on them to bring them back onto the top floor and they dont deserve to be in the basement of course but probably have just been mislaid :shify:
keep on bidding peeps and any new items daily will be welcomed, a number have appeared today and already are rubbing shoulders with those you are more familiar with ;)
There are loads of items going very cheap at the moment and know there will be a big rush in the last couple of days but lets get some of them up there now :innocent:
Misa has asked me if he can make money for the auction and I have told him that he definately is not for sale, at which he beamed and said mwah mwah and that made me think cos we will be have two new threads to throw your money at at the weekend and there is a possiblility of a Christmas cat photo comp if you would like........£1 an entry with a Purrs shop voucher to the winner......let me know if you are interested ;D
Push shove headbutt...........yes Misa...but bit wot about me....yes Misa havent forgot lol.
Misa wants to know if you will pay 50p or £1 to see his pictures, I mean pictures of him?
We have lots somewhere ;D
So thats it tonight, sleep well everyone and wake up with your pockets over flowing for Sunny Harbour :hug:
-
I love a good photo competition..and a kitten naming competition...and anything else that you can think of. Now, if you can also find and auction Richard Armitage, that would be great.......
-
As at 0215 tonight we have 133 items in the auction, one is new and there is one without a bid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to say that this may be part down to me cos I missed it a couple of nights ago and it didnt get to the top,,,,,,well its 3rd down now :-[
Liz has kindly made a donation with a bit of fun attached and I have put the first name of 46 in.....I am tired now lol....but have a go and lets see if we can get all 46 cats names ;D
Franta says mrowwwwwwwww and why arent I in bed.........oh dear well................
Over the wekend there will be definately two new things to throw your money at, first is Names for Kittens to help Sarah at Sunny Harbour out, and the second will be Feed a Cat for a day, to help some of the long term residents there.
I am still thinking bout a Christmas cat photo competition as only one person has replied!
Misa is waiting to come on over the weekend too for 50p a picture cos he says he is not greedy but would like to help out those rescue cats like wot he was once :shify:
Now we have a new total ;D
Oh yes
And am still adding it up :scared:
Wonder how much tonight :shify:
Well I am a bit scared to put this and so hope I have not added up wrong........its very late you know
Hannah will check it tomorrow for me
So without P&P we now have a total of
£620
:crossed: :auc9: :auc2: :auc8:

:wooooo: :wooooo: :wooooo:

Woo Hoo awesome ... keep up the bidding guys ... we are on target for a great result :hug: :hug:
-
We are all absolutely marvelous aren't we?
:grouphug: :strawberry: :strawberry: :clap:
Mary
-
That's fantastic!!! By a strange coincidence, that's exactly the same amount as we've got for the Greek Animal shelter on Cat chat!!
-
There'd be a lot more if someone put Richard Armitage on auction..........come on, how many times can I make the request???? :naughty:
-
Er, who's Richard Armitage?
-
Guy of Gisbourne in Robin Hood. ;)
-
Was he in the Vicar of Dibley too?
-
Haven't seen either, so no wiser lol!
-
Was he in the Vicar of Dibley too?
Yep, Geraldine the vicar married him. He's also in Spooks. Have attached a picture to make things easier. ;)
-
:gimme: Whoever he is, he's very tasty lol!!!!
-
Was he in the Vicar of Dibley too?
Yep, Geraldine the vicar married him. He's also in Spooks. Have attached a picture to make things easier. ;)
Thought so, I remember that episode :evillaugh:
-
:gimme: Whoever he is, he's very tasty lol!!!!
Indeed. ;)
-
oooooh he's nice ... I would! :rofl:
-
oooooh he's nice ... I would! :rofl:
I would too.. twice. :naughty:
-
Paws off....I requested him first!!!
-
I am pleased you have all got side tracked by a man :rofl: :rofl:
I have to 'fess up cos have been waiting for my asst to check the figures which she has for the last couple of nights and I made a little mistake with the auction total that I last posted :( :-[
Tonight I will post a new total but as the bidding was very slow yesterday and already to day seems to be better, everyone of course is bidding in pennies not pounds so thinks how many penny bids it takes to make £20!
I am hoping that you all know that this auction finishes at 2000 on MONDAY 7 DEC so we have room for more items and the Feed A Cat thread and Name a Cat thread are there if you dont fancy any of the items on offer. Also of course Misa is still selling himself.............shock horror!
I know we have passsd the amount that I last posted but not by a lot, so keep bidding please, cos every penny helps ;D
-
must admit all the bad stuff has thrown me a bit but don't worry all the more reason to bit on things and help - must have a sort out of what I've bid on first, I could end up with much more than I bargained for!
-
Afraid I am reeling from it dawn and more the reason to supoort our rescues as much as we can , but we must not over do what we can afford in the auction :hug: :hug:
-
Yes the post about Willow is really bringing it home to us all how much rescues help.
I don't usually look at those posts cos they get me so angry and upset but I think when it's one of our own (Purrs family) I have to take a little look.
Every penny helps. So get counting them all Gill :naughty: :rofl: :hug:
At least we don't have 1/2 p now :naughty: :rofl:
Mary
-
Hannahs doing the counting not me cos my abicas failed me :rofl:
-
Tonight ummmmmmmmmm this morning I have a new total for you. :shify:
This must be the auction with the most items that we have ever had an so many bargains to be picked up ;D
We have another 6 days to go and I hope that Monday the 7 Dec will be a record breaking day :sneaky:
Anyway I have thrown my abicas out of the window and Hannah has put some batteries in her new fangled calculator
and the total for to night is
coming :rofl: :rofl:
Now you dont think iI am going to give it to you that easily
without some chatting and stuff
do you :innocent:
Tonight we have
£750 ;D ;D ;D
Thank you to everyone who is bidding and this will all go to Sunny Harbour and hopefully loads more too ;D
-
Fantastic, keep it coming guys! :wow: :hug: :hug:

Mary

We didnt do a total last night but maybe one tonight :shify: :shify:
Bidding this morning has been brisk, seems many havent slept well and are up early, including me :(
The really big day is going to be Monday next week although am hoping that some will have to make their real moves at the weekend :rofl: It will then be down to those on Monday to see if they can beat them, the last hour is usually madness ;D
Am just gonna venture outside before the bad weather arrives again, so happy bidding and hope you all get what you really want in the auction :hug:
-
Tonight we have a new total ;D
Oh yes we definately do :evillaugh:
Now what shall we chat about until the kettle has boiled :innocent:
How about the weather, raining and cold as usual here.
Today..........nooooooooooooooo not ready yet :rofl:
Today bidding is getting interesting
As we creep tpwards the end peeps are getting out their elbows
and using them........Oh yes ;D
I wont mention any names but you know who you are ;)
I must remind you to book your seats early on Monday
and even over the weekend
No knives will be allowed in the room
Checks will be made to see you have dosh :rofl: :rofl:
Oh right
I think maybe its about time
For the Unoffocial total tonight
