Beau Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thank you for all your entries into our January competition. As last month you get to choose who the winner and runner up will be. As we have quite a lot of entries (and I am struggling myself to choose a favourite ) I have set the poll as multiple choice. So if you are torn between a couple you can vote for both! The poll will close on Friday 30th January so get voting. I will post the entries below in 4 posts as a reminder for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 reminded me of that song a few years back not sure of it's title but one of our preschool boys used to sing it all the time "Sooooooo Lonleeeeeeeeee", I'm so lonley" My most favourite individual answer is "OFSTED originally for support then evolved dangerously", Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 reminded me of that song a few years back not sure of it's title but one of our preschool boys used to sing it all the time "Sooooooo Lonleeeeeeeeee", I'm so lonley" My favourite 'lonely' song is the Roy Orbison classic: "only the lonely" - everyone join in: dum dum dum dummy dowaaaa" Can you hear me singing Beau? My most favourite individual answer is "OFSTED originally for support then evolved dangerously", I absolutely 100% agree Peggy and am delighted that zlw is in the lead...
