A rare chance to own a MN Woolly Hug and other gorgeous things.

[KnottyLocks]

As we have done in the past for Anthony Nolan, we have put together a blanket from squares made by Mumsnetters to help raise funds for SANDS, The Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Charity.

The blanket seen here on the Woolly Hugs' website is one lot (number 80) in an auction which starts at 8pm Friday 21st September and ends 8pm 30th September.

During the course of the auction, 153 families will lose a baby at birth or shortly after.

The auction itself has been organised by our own MrsY, in memory of her son Benedict and the SANDS auction site can be found here

Along with the Woolly Hug there are some really lovely things, large and small, being auctioned.

It?s really worth a look and all done for such a worthy cause.

Prettybird, yes they do. Nouns innit.

i could use the satnav

because currently, when someone tells me to get lost, there is every possibility of that happening...

Ooh, I need the satnav to save my marriage Edgar

And all the money to such a good cause ....

I love a good Win/Win - reminds me of when I worked in an Oxfam shop - recycling clothes, making money for such a good cause, making friends etc. etc.
What's not to like ?

PS. Can someone talk me through the process a little more ? ... I'm only just learning about internet stuff. Thanks !

I think i have just placed a bid! OOH!

and i have my beady eye on the 'A days labour' listing - though i don't live close enough.

Mother could use her rear sorting out.

The auction is now live.

If you want to bid on an item:

(Copied from the auction site)

'All you need to is post a comment on that post with your bid.

The bids will be seen by everyone, so if you are bidding on an item as a gift, feel free to use a clever pseudonym, but it would make life a lot easier for us if you use your real name where possible. You can then subscribe to that post, so that you will be notified by email if anyone else posts a comment on that lot.

If someone outbids you, you can bid again up until 7:59pm on Sunday 30th September. Any bids with a time stamp of 8:00pm or later will be discounted.

With so many lots, it may take us a while to double check all the comments, but we will then post a confirmation of the winning bid on each lot. At this point, please visit our Virgin Money Giving page and donate the relevant amount and Contact Us with your full contact and postal details. We will then forward this information to the person/business who donated each lot and they will contact you to arrange details and/or confirm dispatch. Unless otherwise specified, postage will be 2nd class recorded.'
