Good wasn't it?

If I had only been two seconds quicker with my last bid... :)

I wonder what the final total will be this year?

It's currently at £1850 .... but fingers crossed this will go a bit more yet    http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,44205.0.html

 :evillaugh: love it.

So many computers crash in the last 10 minutes of the Auction  :evillaugh: :hug:

Lots more items will be added to the list too if we go by the past Auctions.  Highlight of the year if you ask me.

It's fab isn't it?!
I'm trying to maintain some level of control at the moment, but I fear I may succumb to a manic bidding frenzy very soon  :Crazy:
There's just sooooo many nice things! And it's such a good cause.

The fun of the auction is in the bidding ad to see if you can sneak in and win something during the two weeks without someone else catching you.

Otherwise we may as well hold it on one day!

In the last half hour it is impossinle to keep track................really LOL

I do sort of agree with your Slugsta .... however as Dawn pointed out the last ½ hour is complete madness with a flurry of final bids, many of the really popular items are won and lost in the last moments.  This is why it is a good idea to keep your eye on items you are really after during the whole two weeks this way you can decide if bidding has gone over the amount you are prepared to pay. ;)

I'm sorry if this is a daft question - but I'm going to ask it anyway.

Do bids on all items end on Dec 1st, or do some finish sooner? If they all end on Dec 1st, it isn't really worth bidding until the last day...

Cor, I'm really enjoying the Auction - I didn't get round to getting involved in the Auction last year (naughty girl that I am!), so I'm making up for lost time, getting twitchy fingered on the items!  Lucky will be getting some auction prezzies for Christmas this year!    ;D
