E Minor got a cheque from his dealer (he makes jewellery). He sold more pieces than his Mum!

Not bad for thirteen.

My temp contract finished today but I have an interview at a pleasantly-commutable place on Monday.
Fingers crossed I don't damage myself with all that beer-and-bikes over the weekend.

Looks like I'll be starting a new job on December 6th

Since i was interviewed by the Man In Charge, I'm fairly confident that he's not an ego-stroking megalomaniac and better still, they haven't 'lost' a member of staff for nearly 2 years

Better still, my commute will go from 4-and-a-bit miles to just over 10 miles

Ah, congratulations! And that means you can come out on the 3rd, since you'll have time to recover

I'll be out on the 3rd anyway, since I'll have a pannier full of STUFF to give to various people in return for portraits of the Queen

I got my new snow leopard patterned fleece pajamas in the post today. Take that, winter!

I have just spoken to my brother. He told me that he was a winner of a recent Observer "Everyman" crossword competition and has netted the kudos of winning, £15 in book tokens, and this round of applause. I haven't seen a hard copy and I couln;t find the winers on line, but his enry was attributed to David Walker, of Billericay.

He also mentioned that he has won, on at least 5 occasions, the Chemistry Society (I may have the name wrong) crossword competition, and they give £25 in book tokens.

Our dad occasionally won crossword competitions. I remember him winning a bottle of Knockando whisky, and apparently he also won a leather wallet. I think one was with the Times, the other the Telegraph.

Excellent news, Q. You sound as though you have a very happy family.

Quisling · « **Reply #4644 on:** 26 November, 2011, 06:32:40 pm »

Thank you WB. It's been 5 years since the dear Mrs Q passed away and for a while I wondered if I'd ever get sorted out again, but here I am and it's brilliant and she's fantastically lovely.

And she has a bike.

PaulF · « **Reply #4645 on:** 26 November, 2011, 07:07:21 pm »

Really pleased for you Q.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #4646 on:** 26 November, 2011, 07:20:14 pm »

And more competitions - Little Cudzo has had a poster printed in Dinomite magazine. He previously won a set of Beast Quest books from a competition in the same magazine.
