    Yeah check out Goodreads there must be a book beginning with the letter "Z"

    Or look for some plastic zoo animals

    Zinc jewellery
    Zipper jacket

    Any more suggestions for "Z" folks?

    Thanks for that hadn't seen that comp.

    This has had me entering competitions for some weird prizes just for the letters. I do hope I win a trip to Queensland there really aren't that many for Q.


    Edit Oops didn't realize it was over ...

    Quidco is an obvious one for Q ;)

    I won 25p today on the Quidco Easter thingy today :j I've already claimed on Q and under £1 for their last one though :cool:

    Just been googling for 'z' related comps - looks like we just missed this one :eek: https://www.zipworld.co.uk/news/post/national-kindness-day-2017

    Damn and blast :(

    Perhaps next year's challenge we should have something like "I won (or posted) a competition beginning with Z. At least that way, if we couldn't win a particular letter, we might be able to google and post one. It might have the added bonus of encouraging people that don't usually post anything to have a go.

    (Just googled to see if there were any comps to win a lemon zester. The only one I found had expired.)

    How about Zayn Malik CD's or Zee Zee Top? (That is if you want to admit to owning one of those)

    Still not a "Z" win but had a lovely phone call from the people at Grand Designs saying that i've won £2500 worth of [STRIKE]posh[/STRIKE] high-tech blinds! They can be programmed to open/close at certain temperatures/times or light intensities :eek: they are certainly better than the current ones where the cables have snapped and have been knotted together in an attempt to fix them :rotfl:. Have updated prize over £1000 and my total prize amount :)

    A bo "X" of...
    A wa "X" ed jacket

    Or

    A pi "ZZ" a
    A Ga "Z" ebo

    (Or you could make it up as you go along, you buggas normally do anyways :rotfl:)

    Top scorers at the moment are

    stefalfie11 34/50

    McLennan 33/50

    :j :j :beer: :T :T :beer: :j :j

    As much as I would like to take the crown, it's actually Ms Dee who has 34/50 and not me :)
