AnnieP Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 It is doing very well, but if there's anybody out there with lots of cash hanging around, you are most welcome to have a bid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnieP Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 The bidding has closed for this item, and we have a winner! We have raised a wonderful amount for the BHWT!!!!! Thank you all who have bid. I cannot reveal who the winning bidder is at present, as they were bidding for it to give to somebody else as a present, and if I reveal who it is, then the present surprise will be ruined, so you never know, it could be finding its way into anybody's Christmas stocking this year! I just know its not me! Watch around Boxing day I guess for the mystery to be solved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Thank you for your PM Annie, informing me that I was out bid at 11.30 last night Whoever the sneaky bidder was, well done! Its a very worthwhile cause! Christian x x x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Absolutely ! Without Annie and Buffie's efforts in organising these fund raising ideas, we'd not have been able to help so many hens so a big thank you to you both, ladies.

ubereglu Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I wonder if the someone with the winning bid for me???? As a christmas pressie, I hope so. But somehow I doubt it very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 The tension is mounting................ I don't think I can wait until Boxing Day A lovely present for someone though - what a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I WANT IT!!! I bet you, that it won't have been me who gets it as a christmas present. There's been no packages like that, which have fallen through my letter box this week!!! But then Martin might have bought it for me!!! I doubt it though, but then he is posting me some stuff, which will hopefully arrive during the week....... Mind you every time I aksed him about egg cosies, he goes I don't have any money!!!

Christian Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 OK here goes.................. I was bidding for the item. As a relatively new chicken owner, I have this really strange feeling every time I see something with chickens on. It has become an obsession! My house is slowly filling up with chickenalia. My therapist says i'm a lost cause and has sent me to a specialist. I saw this lovely picture and knowing it was for a good cause, I started bidding!!! Things were going well and I was winning! Then on Sunday morning last week, I received a pm from Annie, saying I had been outbid! I was crushed and unable to go the work that day BUT then the OH came back from work all cheery and announced he had an early Christmas pressie for me. Apparently he couldn't take the constant sobbing anymore I am now the proud owner of a Helen Drewitt original!!! He was bidding against me and had secretly coersed poor Annie into lying to me! I don't blame her, she is a innocent girl and very easily led but i'm going to have words with Mr Sneaky!! Really pleased with it, it is absolutely fab and glad that it has raised some money for the poor chooks!! Thank you Annie, for organising the auction!
