Bloggie pals!
Gorgeous Catdownunder has alerted me to this fabulous global auction "Authors for the Philippines" where you may bid for online writing courses, mentoring, signed copies of books, critiques from literary agents etc etc!
All proceeds to go to the British Red Cross to help those affected by typhoon Haiyan.
Hurry, the auction ends on the 20th November!
There is also of course the Humane Society International for the poor animals affected too.
Charlie says: I bid successfully for this chair.
Have a lovely week y'all!

Worthy causes indeed!
Charlie, the chair is yours by right of possession.
Thanks for lettin' us know about this!
Purrs,

That auction sounds like a pretty neat idea. People are more willing to give money when they're getting something in return. Which sounds kinda strange but it's true.
Thanks for letting us know about the auction. It sounds like a great way to raise money for all those poor people who are suffering.
Terrific idea, and sure to get lots of responses.
Sounds like a great way to raise money and help people AND animals :)
My heart goes out to the people of the Philippines. I donated to the International Red Cross--hope they get aid quickly! I will also check out the link you provided--thanks!
My kitty loves my desk chair too! But sometimes sharing it with her while I work on my computer takes some negotiating. Usually she lets me if she can sit in my lap and get petted.
These are two great links for helping out in the Philippines.
Oh man, he got the CHAIR. ^^&(%($%^$W%#
What a great idea. We'll pop over and check it out. Have a super Monday! xoxo
Well done Charlie, that looks like a mighty fine chair!
Hi Old Kitty - what a great idea .. I sure hope 'one of us wins' ...
Charlie looks ready for a lap, then a nap!
Happy week - Hilary
Fingers and paws crossed for lots of donations. We donated via the Canadian Red Cross--our government is matching donations made to bona fide registered charities until early December. (Usually does, for disaster relief.)
I'm always so glad to hear of people helping out where they can! I'll check out the auction :)
Good deal Charlie on getting that chair. All of us around here vie for the Person's computer chair. Hope you win what ever you have bid on that auction. What fun. Take care.
Glad they didn't forget the animals.
Charlie isn't giving up his chair, is he?
Great advice!!!
Charlie: kiss on your nose!
We hope no-one out bid you for that chair Charlie as we'd hate for you to have to sit on the floor.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Thanks for these. I'm going to go check these out. :)

What a terrific gesture and hoping it raises lots of needed funds for the Red Cross to help the Philippines. Hello Charlie don't you look dashing!

Wow. That's pretty awesome. See, this is one of the things I love most about the writing community--how everyone hops on board when there's a cause. Writers rule!
Don't forget the animals, eh? They're so easy to overlook when things get crazy. ;)
Love to see all the help for the suffering people of Philippines, or any disaster.
Charlie has staked himself a might fine chair!
The auction sounds great. We send purrs and prayers to those who are affected by that terrible typhoon.
Looks like Charlie totally owns the chair :-) Have a great week!
I sure hope everyone gets lots of help. Hello Charlie, Good buy Charlie!
What a good idea. Those poor people must need a lot of help.
I hope Charlie "enjoys the chair." Ha
Yes, I've heard about the 'Authors for the Philippines'. Fantastic cause. And may they raise lots and lots of money. Those poor people. It does not bear thinking about ...
You have a lovely week too xox
Hi Old Kitty,
The finer aspects of humanity have come to the forefront. And during such devastating times for our brothers and sisters in the Philippines, we shall unite to be there for those people with such resilient spirit...
Great idea!
And Charlie is adorable!
I like that cushion, Charlie. Looks like you've got yourself a comfy chair and you deserve it!
Thanks for letting us know of these opportunities to help those in the Philippines.
And, Charlie! You hit the jackpot with your bid on that fabulous chair!
That Charlie is my kind of kitty :)
charlie, you got lucky. I'm sure there are at least two tohers who want that chair badly!
What a fantastic cause for much-needed assistance after a horrific tragedy. I love it when the literary world comes together like this.
That's a brilliant idea! And Charlie, great job getting that chair!
Charlie is a wise bidder ;)
Definitely a worthy cause!

That chair is his until Gumtree decides he wants it.
Congrats to Charlie on his successful chair bid!
Sadly,I missed the auction :(
Aw, I missed the auction. :(
Hopefully they raised some good money tho!
An awesome auction. I've been following the new. So tragic.

Charlie owns that chair! I thought he liked the keyboard best?
Thanks for sharing these worthy causes. I love when authors come together to go good.
Totally missed the auction, but what an adorable pic of your kitty.
Hope you're having a great weekend. =)
