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

Is there a page where all the current bids are displayed, or do we have to go onto each page individually?

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/09/2012 19:47

Think it is each page individually

purple no, bloody internet on phone is a bit like DH, works very occasionally but never really when needed.

I think I won my lot. Will just have to wait it out.

blueberryboybait · 30/09/2012 20:30

The last bid on the Woolly hug was an amazing £250!!

prettybird · 30/09/2012 20:41

The lady bidding against me for the scarf, which is what I really wanted seemed to have more money than sense really serious as she had also put in impressive bids on quite a few other things, so I gave up.

Lots of lovely lolly for Sands though Smile which is the important thing.
