Huddy has chosen Help For Heroes (http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/index.html)as the UK charity this month


and


as Gramma11 was TexasAda's winning buyer, has given the choice to Gramma who has chosen The American Cancer Society (http://www.cancer.org/docroot/home/index.asp) as the USA charity.

[PoppyGrove]

I think Babs has a time machine....shouldn't YDC 70 start in September:confused:


Thanks Sunny - I'm glad one of us is awake and paying attention. I've changed the dates now to September.

I was concentrating on sorting out the charity links, I forgot to change the date - duh - anyone got a spare brain they can list for me?

[moonwitch]

Sorry Babs...I don't have a brain to list

I'm looking out for one for myself:o

[meebo1]

5) You MUST put YDC 69 in the auction title; the auction must be a standard auction

I think that should say YDC 70

I have things in mind to list, but will I find the time to list them?

[liverdodo]

Zooming off to find some bits........an to excersie me bidding finger :D:D

[somersethedge]

[wyocowgirl1]

All ready? Whatever will I list? Think, think, think. (just kidding)

[PoppyGrove]

Bumping this again for all to see.

[PoppyGrove]

It is very very quiet in this thread tonight - Isn't anyone taking part in the YDC this month?

[wyocowgirl1]

We're all still in shock, Babs.

[PoppyGrove]

We're all still in shock, Babs.


Must be, I thought I was the only one playing this month. Besides, it was getting lonely in here talking to myself :D:eek:

[lilused]

Got my stuff ready to list. Rearing to go. (By the way, I will take of of those brains too, sure cauld use it.) Exercising my bidding finger too.

[RonOne]

Sorry I'm not ready yet,
First day off for 5 weeks.
Thats 37 days on the trot.

And I'm pensioned off.

[lilused]

Understand what's going on with you, so take it easy. Am retired now from working over 55 years, but beleive it or not, still miss it sometimes.

[PoppyGrove]

Sorry I'm not ready yet,

And I'm pensioned off.



37 days on the trot - thats a long shift - but now being pensioned off, just think how much spare time you won't have cos you'll be busy doing all those things that you planned to do. :D

Glad to have you aboard for the YDC.

[lilused]

Problem is, like to lay back too many times to accomplish anything I alway's said I wanted to do. But do love eBid, that is my passhion right now. And YDC, find it stimulating and lots of fun.

[meebo1]

I am determined to find something special for YDC. Just got to get up those stairs to my sewing room....
