Fiona, thank you so much for the update.  It certainly sounds like your hands are well and truly full, and our thoughts are very much with Ron for his radiotherapy.   Bless you and the other volunteers for keeping the doors open.   :hug: :hug:

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

That's a fantastic sum of money.  Everyone - every single person who took part, whether selling, buying, bidding, procuring sponsorship, or behind the scenes - this will make Ron a lovely Christmas gift for Lost Cats Brighton.   :wow:   :wow:

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

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?

You didn't bid on Hoolies calendar :Crazy: . Not talking to you anymore  :rofl: :rofl: I was amazed at how much they raised
Have to do more for next time  ;D

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:

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.
