Martin B Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 i.e. Lesley I have just spent some money on a watercolour that Liz did and 3 keyrings. I will be monitoring the situation though. Just think that 4 months ago I was s"Ooops, word censored!"ing together all my pennies to make 50p towards my eglu. Now 4 months on I am a full Omleteer, 6th highest in the post rankings, have a green eglu and green rablu, 3 rabbits and 2 chickens. Quite a transformation. I also buy all the chicken things I see, or someone buys them for me. I suppose I'll have to s"Ooops, word censored!"e together some pennies for a bid too.

Martin B Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I may be more able to handle animals and put out fires and avoid debt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 How much though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Whatever you want - Annie will come back if its too low and you can up your offer if you want. I am waiting to win the lottery so I can afford one, and also slap by boss in the face with a wet fish - annie is going to pay to see that too, and dont ask why its far too complicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 This so so frustrating. I thin Annie is getting fed up of posting sorry..., no sorry..., you're too far off the mark, try again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 Not fed up at all.... Martin, I can just imagine you running around, emptying pockets, searching through pots and drawers for extra cash that might be laying around..... but you have to remember that this embroidery would be £'s and £'s to buy............

Martin B Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I prefer normal ones. Can we switch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 No Martin - we can't!!! Just get on with it You tell Annie what you want to bid - she will tell you if you have the current highest bid - or if you need to bid again. Just don't bid more than you can afford. The idea is that an item will reach a high price with the proceeds going to the charity. The fun is not knowing what others are bidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
