Anybody remember "The Newt"?

Just that really.

Sort of a nostalgic flashback brought on by https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/79094387/#Comment_79094387

    I used to call him Tiny because he was My Newt.

    Sorry, I couldn't resist.

    I remember the newt, great little creature. Didn't he/she (can't remember the newts gender) get used in FB comps at some point,  back in the day when almost every entry was a sob story or was that a different salamander? Gone are the days when you'd enter your comps and then go to CCC for a bit of banter, it's more enter and leave now  :/
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.

    The Newt is a girl and she has lipstick and frilly knickers.

    I stole her off somebody else and had her as my newt for a while.

    Hope Newt is back in fine fettle and entering FB comps again

    The newt used to keep @lucinad in order on the competition challenges, but now she's in charge and no newt to keep her in line. How is the newt?
    I hope she hasn't been causing you too much trouble, is there is a different shade of lipstick she needs or wants as a bribe to come back? :lol:
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    The Newt has been "resting" maybe now is the time for her comeback.

    Pink would be a good colour for a comeback if you want The Return of The Newt - amphibians revenge

    Did you do that on purpose?! Now I have that song in my head.
    Return of the Mack The Newt once again...

    I'm getting Matt Hot Pink vibes, rather than Glossy Baby Pink unless she's into glitter... 🤔 
    Aww no, does this mean someone has to arrange a comeback celebration?!
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    Well obviously Hot Pink it's The Newt.

    She would totally adore a comeback party, totally Diana Ross here
