I decided to test the panic mouse before I packed it to make sure it was working ok. Put it together and switched it on and Hobbes decided it looked really good and could he have a play with it - this after studiously ignoring it for the last 12 months

Told him it was too late and it was going off to another puss cat to play with cos he didn't want it

no need to go to Post Office - scales, tape measure and the Royal Mail website is all you need to work out postage

shame on you Maryas for being so inefficient

Clever clogs

Too busy on Purrs to go on post office website

Carol, you sound a little stressed

Mary

Not really - it just took longer than I anticipated. It didn't help that OH had uncharacteristically recycled my carefully selected stash of cardboard boxes so I had to go out looking for replacements which all seemed to be either too big or too small. And of course I didn't have Korky to help me this year

Carol, you sound a little stressed

Must admit I've been saving bubble wrap and jiffy bags and tissue paper for ages.

I had all mine wrapped up before the auction - wrapped them up and wrote on the envelope what it was and went to post office and asked how much they would be.

Then all I had to do was wait for the final word from Gill and send them out. I'm just too purrfect for words aren't I??

Forgot to add - when I went to post office with them all the lady behind the counter said 'Is this going to be a regular thing?'

To which the answer is 'regular, yes: frequent, no'

I was far too frazzled at that point to think of such a sensible answer Christine. I think I settled for a wild-eyed NO.

Next year will somebody PLEASE remind me to auction only items with a regular shape and definitely nothing that is fragile. All day the house has looked like a bomb site - bubble wrap, polystyrene chips, recycled jiffy bags, poly bags, cardboard boxes, brown paper, parcel tape, sellotape, tissue paper, shredded paper

and in the middle of it this mad women muttering 'where's me scissors? wots 'appened to me labels? why's this lid off the mug with lid still 'ere when the mug's been packed

? I think I'll go and lie down.

It sounds like it was above my spread sheet power Den LOL

oooh thanks Dancer - I shall go abidding!

Den · « **Reply #222 on:** December 08, 2009, 11:40:45 AM »

Hey, my spreadsheet was rather sophisticated thank you very much

I had 5 different tables, with varying combinations of items, with updated totals according .. so I could look at the different totals, know which was over budget and which was good to carry on bidding. Then I had all me post-its which each items maximum bid. Plus I had 9 tabs open in my browser - 1 for each item and one with all the items so I could keep track.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #221 on:** December 08, 2009, 11:35:41 AM »

Your spreadsheet LOL.......try the spreadsheet for the whole auction.......hannahs air must be blue

I am going to check the list cos Hannah knows it was a bit out but at 0130 that was it for all of us.

Den · « **Reply #220 on:** December 08, 2009, 11:14:50 AM »

Thank you

I know Hannnah must have been sooooooooo tired last night .. Tan had awarded the necklace to Kirst.

Also, my total is wrong .... it needs to be £36.47. 10p needs to be added to the digital photography book to make it £5.00. Then it'll match my spreadsheet

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #219 on:** December 08, 2009, 11:09:49 AM »

Oops, I changed it too - think we were editing at the same time

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #218 on:** December 08, 2009, 10:59:00 AM »

I changed it on the list with 2 little stars.

Your totals on the thread should be OK unless the knecklace was awarded to you......if it was let me know and will change that too

Den · « **Reply #217 on:** December 08, 2009, 10:49:04 AM »

Please could someone who reads this ammend my total, please

Kirsts was added to my total owed, but I'm not the winner of the necklace/bracelet ... Kirst is.

Thankies!

I missed them by 19 seconds I swear it was 19:58 when I pressed 'post' Oh well, I just won't be able to shop at Jollyes or Morrisons ever again thanks to Snarf

I got all my 5 things (3 had dropped off the radar

1 everyone gave up on and the final one had to fight for!!) Was working on Kirsts when the server crashed ... was sooooooooo so so so so close to those earings.

silly server .. just needed those extra 20 seconds and would have had them!

Need to lie down now.

bunglycat · « **Reply #202 on:** December 07, 2009, 20:21:17 PM »

I actually missed the chocolate when i refreshed the page !

Maybe not so good at bidding -but will blame the server for going so slooow !

Not even sure i got the calendar now !

I do get a lot off ebay, got their tree from there. I just enjoy the fun of this and the fact it goes to a rescue of ours too.

Maybe those who missed out what they wanted could check ebay out -they have some good stuff for cats on there -only if they aren''t in the Purrs shop though !
