Chatting about the auction or questions etc

[Kay and Penny]

I thought of just ringing my bank and requesting a transfer as per SO for raffle, but would Tan be able to sort out what the money was for if we did that?

[CarolM (Wendolene)]

The transfer would suit me too Ed - I always have trouble with Paypal, it doesn't like me 

[Kay and Penny]

what about pledges on the name a cat and feed a cat sticky threads, Gill?

just add the total amount to the amount on a bid, or is it better to wait until you have posted up the total required?

[madamcat (Edd)]

Could I ask whether we can pay by bank to bank transfer - rather than send a cheque or pay by paypal (means no fees deducted by paypal and more monies to Lost cats brighton)?

Believe I know the details cos pay for Purrs Save a life Draw by s/o.

Thanks

My new job means i'm working longer hours and when I am on here I cant get focussed anymore.

Buying the car so if this job ends I can go elsewhere has taken up lots of my time too

ah well

[CarolM (Wendolene)]

Damn my trying to up bids, misguided tactics backfired

If you don't want the ear rings I'll be happy to relieve you of them - couldn't keep pace with all the items I was bidding on (but like you I did end up with something I didn't really expect  ) 

 Grubby mitts off, this is an item I was intentionally wanting to win!

Had a feeling you might say that 

Actually feeling quite proud of myself - I only went £4.50 over my limit according to my calculations (mind you , didn't win everything I wanted)

[Ellen2010]

Well have made a list of things that I entered and all are enveloped up awaiting addresses and confirmation and have PM'd the winner of the whale to ask them what colour and what eyes they want.  Me being super efficient 

    

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

Sorry Liz but it was posted and asked about over and over.................you will know for next year 

[Zenith (Liz)]

Shona just sell your Elemis stuff on then it wont be beans on toast for the holidays 

Now i really liked their eye cream thingy... 

[Kay and Penny]

I was wrong - I managed to win one of the Salmon Mousses for Trigger

bet he turns his nose up at it

I didn't realise the auction ended today - I did check the beginning of this thread and it only mentioned a start date 

Only won one thing i think, and its not a fun present for the cats

[CarolM (Wendolene)]

I can just imagine all the PMs flying around atm with peeps begging for items they were outbid on 

......like the black cat pen you mean 

[Pinkbear (Julie)]

I lost track of what I won... don't think it was much though as I was quite reserved this year.  I know I got the purse during the dying seconds.  Think there might be a tea cosy as well.

[jezebel]

I kept bidding cos I didn't think I'd win much.

I won 7 items in the end!

[Rosella moggy]

.......... I bidded on way too many items!

sooooo ...... if you are looking for someone to rehome the Signed Simon's Cat Slim Diary 2011 ......

Come on; nothing says I can't ask 

[blackcat]

is there going to be a list of what each person owes in total for bids as can't remember all that I bid on

I was going to ask that too. I bided on way too many items!

Yes, Once we have done the total, Tan will be posting a list of who won what and what their individual totals are. That P&P can be a bit of a shock to the system - year before last I went well over my budget cos i forgot ...

[Feline Costumier]

Don't have a credit card Helen So it's pay up now! Ah well, I don't need to eat anyway

It's getting worse, by my notes I have won 11 items

[jezebel]

Blimey, I should never do this after having wine!

(But I'm really chuffed at getting the kitty robot, and at least the Brighton moggies will benefit from it all.)

Roll on pay day!

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

We have finished posting on every thread who the winners are etc and later Tan will be posting up the totals for all the winners 

I just want to say thank yoiu to all for your bids and the fun and I am waiting with baited breathe to see what the interim total for Ron will be.

 

[Tiggy's Mum]

Shona if it's any consolation I've discovered you can add a credit card to paypal and pay by credit card so at least you'll get another payday in between now and when the bill is due 

[Feline Costumier]

I think I may have outdone my record year of two years ago Keeping track of my won items and I'm out of control! Damn my trying to up bids, misguided tactics backfired

On the plus side, the puds will be fed for a looooooooong time to come and will have an embarrassment of toys

[Kirst]

Yay i got my mat and my bookmark so I is happy!!!!

[AliCat]

Fortunately OH left me money to get my hair done and is paying for my night out in Perth with the girls at the weekend their snow permitting they have what we got 10 days ago

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

So sorry but you can always make the P&P from jiggys as donation as I can collect at some point 

Think you donated in one of stickies at top?

[Kay and Penny]

I couldn't get into Purrs just before the deadline, and haven't won anything

[Ellen2010]

I resorted to going to the shop to get mugs in the end lol

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

Sorry 

Beans on toast better for you 

[Feline Costumier]

Every year I forget about the postage Definitely beans on toast for Christmas dinner!

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

yes but late tonight

[Ellen2010]

[Jasmine]

I seem to have as usual spent far too much money but at least it's in a good cause - auction fever, gets me every year 

Me too...
I've just done a rough calculation
Nobody tell my OH pls!

[Ellen2010]

Really upset just gone to the shop and they don't have the cup in anymore that I wanted

[maryas]

Well I guess all there is left to say is.....................

Let's get looking for items to post for Purrs Auction 2011 

I've got 2 things already 

Mary

[Feline Costumier]

I think I have won more than I expected, I went round trying to bump up bids earlier then no-one else bid after me

You must need a cuppa after all that excitement! 

I think it will be a hot chocolate to replenish the reserves! Fingers were working furiously!

[ginge66]
