HappyMaz Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Sorry Maz, forgot to reply to you. How embarrassing! Not as embarrassing as disappearing for the whole of Children in Need night! Haven't even donated yet - and because we go into the woods on Friday we're having our Children in Need thing at nursery next week so I'll add a bit extra onto that! Well done Beau - you're a CIN-Star! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Just to let you all know that I haven't forgotten about giving out the answers. However, one member sent me a query yesterday evening which I didn't read until I got back online this morning. So I'm giving them until tonight to get any more answers in. So if theres anyone else who missed out and would like to have a go I'll still accept answers until midnight tonight and promise faithfully to give out the answers tomorrow.

Beau Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Ooh, thanks Sue! And now to announce the winners! Firstly, we had 17 entries which was pretty good going since it was only available for the weekend. Many thanks to those who took the time to pm me - I shall be making my donation to Children in Need today. Anyone else who is still wanting to make a donation the link to do so is here We had 2 fully correct entries but only one of those could win our £20 cheque and this goes to She. Commiserations to Inge but for her incredible effort she will also be receiving a notepad to go along with the pen she won elsewhere. 5 other members managed to get over 24/32, many congrats go to them! I put the names in a hat and janeb is the winner of a mug (since I think she already has a notepad). I also put the other 10 entries in a hat, and the winner of a notepad and pen is whitetree. And as if that isn't enough BrendaS gets a pen for pointing out the missing question and Devsy gets a pen for being the first person to pm me an answer. Once again thank you to everyone who participated. Bad luck if you didn't win a prize but hopefully you'll win something another time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
