Pink Friday charity auctions - the rules

[meebo1]

what would we do without copy and paste?!! And that took me ages to learn

I've seen a few questions that are covered in the rules, so reposting these in full for a handy reminder for tomorrow's auctions. If you're planning on joining in pink fridays - and I certainly hope you are! - please have a quick glance through...

• Pink Friday charity auctions will be run in aid of Breast Cancer Care (BCC) Pink Fridays campaign. More can be read about that here: http://www.pinkfridays.org.uk/
  
• Auctions should be started at any time on a Pink Friday, and should run for three days, to finish on the following Monday.
  
• A Pink Friday is any Friday in October 2009. So those are: 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th.
  
• The title of your auction should contain "BCC pink" for ease of searching.
  
• Your item should have a pink theme. You can apply that as loosely as you wish.
  
• You may list your item in any category, but if you're struggling to decide where, there's always "Auctions for Charity > Cancer".
  
• You may start your auctions at any price - but the lower the more interest you're likely to get.
  
• There is no maximum expected value - you're free to make as much as possible for BCC!
  
• You may use BuyNow instead / as well if you prefer.
  
• All money you collect should be donated to BCC Pink Fridays campaign - If you can, please do this using Smiffy's "Just Giving" page, as this will keep a running tally for us. http://www.justgiving.com/charyn-smith/. If for any reason you can't use that page, you can pay Herbie by PayPal gift for the first week, further help to follow if needed!

There is a Pink Fridays template available if you wish to use it (you don't have to!) at http://www.bykimbo.com/ebid/help/bcc.htm

It won't let me change mine boohoo

Um... why?

Just change "custom" to "immediate" and add a few hours to the run time to take it back up to evening, no?
