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. Sad

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.

Thanks

I hope who ever wins the blanket knows how much love goes into those, and how many of us could do with a woolly hug Grin

One last bid for us, then that will be that. Hope it will be enough Smile

EdgarAllanPond · 30/09/2012 14:04

i need to check, otherwise i have no time at all to get DH a different pressie!

MOSagain · 30/09/2012 16:07

some bugger outbid me. Wish it was like ebay where you could just put in your highest bid and it would increase it for you when outbid. We are off for dinner tonight for DD2's birthday and worried we won't be back in time.

EdgarAllanPond · 30/09/2012 16:34

i just hope i don't forget when 8pm comes round....

MOSagain · 30/09/2012 17:06

I think I might be skipping dessert (that I'm not allowed anyway) to rush back and bid again if I need to

PurplePidjin · 30/09/2012 18:01
