    For the other people who were finalists, have you received your hamper? The woman told me she would send a press release for me to check, but I never received it and now Helen (congrats by the way) has obviously won the first prize. I reckon I shot myself in the foot by not being too enthused about posing for local press in a pinny holding a feather duster (I'm a secondary teacher and my kids would have had a field day with that!!!). Does that mean I'm exempt from receiving the hamper?

    Well done to Helen - (the name sounds familiar to me, I think) lets hope she is a MSE'r.

    I sent my pic off ages ago but have heard nothing from the press (quite relieved lol) - I too work in a school!!!

    Ive had no news re the hamper as yet. Hopefully we should hear soon now.

    DancerKaz, you're braver than me!!! I had visions of my picture blown up to A3, plastered all down the corridors! And she wondered why there was no way I was prancing about with a duster.... :D

    That would be so embarrasing eh!!! I work with little ones so not quite so bad but still embarassing. The pic was probably tamer than I may have gone for he he!!!!

    Ladies, it happened today. I'm in the paper....aaaargh! No piccy though, thank goodness. It's only a matter of time before they get you too.... :D They did make the quote up though as I've ignored the calls from the paper. I'm somewhat surprised they didn't superimpose my head onto a picture of a maid! haha
