It might have felt like midnight Sheila but I think you'll find it was either 7-0 pm or more likely 8-00 pm.  :rofl: This year's ends at 20-00 on Dec 2nd.  Are you sure you're not trying to eliminate the competiion by giving false information?  :evillaugh:  :hug:

Think i'm right in saying the auction ends at Midnight, (pretty sure it did last year) so you can aways pack Mum off to bed early and hide under the duvet with your smartphone  ;D :rofl:

Oh noooo, I just realised I will be away for the weekend on 2nd December when the auction closes and will lose out on all the items I want  >:( If I don't have internet access on my phone (which runs the battery out in about an hour grrrr) I'll be in a sulk for the whole of December  :'(

I trying to be sympathetic, really I am Puffball,  :innocent: but since you're interested in many of the the same items that I am then I guess you're not actually feeling my 'poor you' vibes.   Just Helen to eliminate now ...........   :evillaugh:

I was exactly the same, my first reaction was 'Oh, No!' then I realised the implications and a teensy weensy mean part of me thought 'Yay!'  :shy:

Here's the nice side of me: If you're in a 3G area can you use the phone plugged in so your battery won't go flat.

That is very silly and your only possibility will be to bid very high on what you really want and hope  :scared:

I've been wondering why the Simon's Cat soft toy I'm selling has a zip and a little pouch in his bottom... seemed the weirdest thing to me  :Crazy: It's a tiny pouch not big enough for pyjamas which would have been the obvious answer, so why??? It's been bothering me and curiousity killed the cat as they say so I checked out the website which says "you can use it as a hideaway for special items, or with a bag of rice inside we've even used it as a door stop!"  :rofl: a door stop, I've been calling it his poop pouch  :sick:

Wow after a delay in my getting back on due to a very nasty situation with our CP branch (I'll post in the members section about it later) I thought I'll just pop on and check out the auction. As a veteran of the Purrs auctions I am so knocked out by the amount and range of items on offer and obviously more to come. I can see I will have to be on my toes this year lol. I'll be back so watch out!

I must say I couldn't help feeling when doing the Top Bid Today' stuff last night that a separate template with SheliaRose on it would have saved a lot of time ;)

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

she's a budding bidder our Sheila!  ;D

That's easy  just use this as template

Best part of the auction finding out how much you have spent on a good cause and wondering if Oh will notice it on his credit card ( larger amounts) or if the kids pocket money will stretch if they give up treats :rofl:

How about we do a deal - i'll let you win one thing and i can win the rest - sound fair?!

LOL we're at it again on the wire cat sculpture I see, seems we love the same things :duel:

HaHa, it's nothing personal - great minds obviously think alike :naughty:

My alarm is set for 05:15 again :yuk: so the battle will have to recommence tomorrow :sneaky:

i fear that the only ones who will have christmas presents this year will be the cats... (and possibly the dog)....

Fear not - many new items coming up for humans too, all at very reasonable prices (at the moment  :shy: )

Oh dear, I think I have a problem  :scared: I have to be up for 05:15 yet I daren't go to bed and keep refreshing the page as people keep out-bidding me on MY items. I'm going to be a zombie by the end of week two  :evillaugh:

Time for your bed methinks and no more bidding on the things I want! Willow has already told me if she doesn't get her nice pressies she's packing her bag and heading off to find a new home just like Asha  :shify:

Yes its very addictive lol, I ran this mad thing for a long time with Tan......upto this year...... but am now retired and its hard not to keep popping in and adding 1p  :rofl: :rofl:

Advice to new bidders is to make a list of what you are bidding on from the start so you know how much dosh you are letting yourself in for  :shocked: :shocked:

And dont forget to add on the P&P  :scared:
