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

Whoop whoop!

Am still in front, but have very little left to play with.

Perhaps I'll be lucky with my bid ...

Am tempted to bid for more nice things now ...

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/09/2012 18:40

Not the socks Juggling, stay away from the socks

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/09/2012 18:40

Flagrantly trying to get this into most active for the last hour or so ...

and probably shoot myself in the foot re. my bid !

JugglingWithPossibilities · 30/09/2012 18:43

Ooh, woolly socks - they'd keep my tootsies warm all winter long Grin

  • and look very fetching I'm sure with my trusty cardi - as seen on Saturday night at the Shindig Grin
GlaikitFizzog · 30/09/2012 18:46

I am focussing on one item now. So I have a little bit more to play with! Eek!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/09/2012 18:52

You'd hate them Juggling, they really wouldn't go with your cardi

KnottyLocks · 30/09/2012 18:56

Step away from my socks!

Only an hour, it's quite exciting isn't it, even if nothing I've bid for is the highest amount. Smile

GlaikitFizzog · 30/09/2012 19:03

Ooh I need some socks .......

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/09/2012 19:05

Fizzy, was just thinking that, my feet are quite chilly you know.....

GlaikitFizzog · 30/09/2012 19:06

I'm much further north than you. Socks are a must have essential!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/09/2012 19:08

Fizzy - I think you will find I have bigger feet so there is greater potential to get chilly, so I need the socks more.

HTH

GlaikitFizzog · 30/09/2012 19:11

True my titchy trotters still fit in kids socks!

GlaikitFizzog · 30/09/2012 19:12

Plus I'm used to the cold unlike you softie southerners!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/09/2012 19:13

I made that up, I had no idea of the size of your trotters FizzyOne, but clearly it makes sense.

prettybird · 30/09/2012 19:15

My two bids are still holding! :)

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/09/2012 19:26

Am outbid again

One last snipe bid at two mins to eight, not holding out hope here

GlaikitFizzog · 30/09/2012 19:27

Oh no, it wasn't me

prettybird · 30/09/2012 19:30

Shouldn't have mentioned it - have now been outbid on both. Need to have a serious think..... Hmm

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/09/2012 19:31

I think there will be a lot of bidding in the next 30 mins tbh

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/09/2012 19:31

And that is fab for the auction!

KnottyLocks · 30/09/2012 19:39

My Socks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
