Gill, you've been a superhero.

Although this was only my first auction, which I enjoyed immensely, I was acutely aware of how much work you had to put in

All those hours and hours of brainache and commitment, sifting, sorting, pulling and pushing to do it over and over again for seven years is something to be very proud of. I salute you.

See you on this side next year

Ah Gill ... sorry to hear you are handing over the baton ... but I totally understand your reasons. Organising the Auction is a huge job and all the work you have put in over the years really shouldn't be underestimated.

Couldn't agree More !!!

Just wanted to echo the thanks for al your hard work over the last 7 years Gill, you have done an amazing job and you'll be missed but it means we'll have to watch out for you even more as an ace bidder at the next one xx

Thank you very much and appreciate all the kind words,

Yes Tan it was all for the cats and hope we have helped many over the years.

I think this years auction was great fun and have never seen so many cats bidding LOL and the newbies and first timers added loads to the event with humour etc

The amount raised was incredible and I never thought we would make £1500 until I started on the Spread sheet at the end, then it reached £1600 and then £1700 and my mind was blown. Then all the little additions from the very kind and generous Purrs peeps made us go over £1800................took my breath away

Yes Mary then there are all the little questions and pms but we get there in the end and I have had a fantastic 7 years, loads of laughs behind the scenes and on the threads

Thank you from me too. This was my first auction and I really enjoyed it but could see how much hard work it was. You did a wonderful job and I hope you enjoy bidding next year

Well done you old git

You've done really well over the years and a lot of pressure at the time with ill cats etc. as well as us lot not taking any notice of the rules and wanting to know the total straight away when it is impossible for you to do it in a nano second

Happy retirement from the Auction.

Mary

Gilly Ya been bloomin fantastic over the years. I hope ya know just how much i and we all appreciate all the work and dedication you have done hun.

Ys know who really benefits from it all ....... Its the cats, the cats that aint got no warm home on cold nights like this, the cats that are starvin, the cats that noone loves.. yet! It's them we do this for, it;'s them we help through the fantastic rescues who's dedication and love is tenfold.

So there's ya prize hun, There's all our prizes. We have just helped some more babes find warmth, love and care through the rescues and that is priceless

Watch out hunnies, i will be looking out for the next Auction team

Thank you both.

I know it wont be easy to find other suckers LOL but its all for the good of the cats and they need to be very dedicated

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #10 on:** December 18, 2011, 16:21:14 PM »

You wont be easy to replace Gill. There aren't that many ~~suckers~~ capable people around these days.

Seriously, we all appreciate how much hard work you have put into the auctions and so would the cats if they knew.

Many thanks from Covcats and the other rescues that have benefited over the years - just tink how many cats lives it equates to.

funkiechicken · « **Reply #4 on:** December 18, 2011, 01:22:43 AM »

You did such a wonderful job!!

In my 1st year (which strangely has been your last

) I think i caused you 2 nervous breakdowns alone!

BUT, thank you for all the help you gave me during my virgin auction

and I hope you enjoy a stress-free 2012 auction

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #3 on:** December 18, 2011, 00:40:50 AM »

Thank you Helen, that is so much appreciated

Am feeling a bit tearful right now but afraid I have had to do this.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #2 on:** December 18, 2011, 00:37:30 AM »

A massive thanks to you Gill for all your hard work over the years - am on the iPod so can't do smilies at the moment but will add the appropriate gold stars etc later!

I hope the auction continues to be a success following on in your footsteps - am always flabbergasted at the amounts raised!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1 on:** December 18, 2011, 00:25:52 AM »

Its time for me to hang up my scarf and hat and say goodbye to the auction and thank everyone over the last 7 years going back to Cat Chat for all the money that we have raised

Thank you to Tan for all the help and a wonderful idea that she had which has has benefitted so many cats

Time is catching me up and need to leave the auction in younger hands as it is so much work and I really cant cope with it anymore. I have enjoyed it tremenduasily over the years and I reckon we have raised over £12000 during that time

I hope that Purrs peeps will come together next year with a newish team to run the 2012 Auction where I will be a happy bidder, although I have a tear in my eye.

I hope you all have a great Christmas .

Gill
