Postie brought a white envelope with a Bauer stamp on the back, got excited for all of 5 seconds until I opened it and found..... a cheque for £10!  :D:D It was from the April Take a Puzzle, so thank you to One-Eye for posting:D 
Oh well - at least I won't be in Bauer prison so I can still enter the Cash Register! Silver linings and all that!
£10 not to be sniffed at I guess, as I haven't won a thing in months now!

    And also if you win a prize on Euromillions. The other week I got an email saying 'you have won a prize on Euromillions'.

    Wow, I thought, is it the million? Is it one of the smaller prizes, say £35k? That'd be wonderful. . . 

    No. It was just the usual £2.60-ish, so my stake money back plus 10p. Oh well, we can dream, can't we? 

    I think £10 is a fabulous win, closely followed by £5. So, well done from me, too!  :)

    [I donate a regular small amount to charity now instead, they deserve it more than Camelot. Even if they do say they donate to lots of worthy causes . . . I'm a worthy cause, too, matey!]
