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! 
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!

It's like winning the lottery, the email says you have won a prize, log into your account etc, then you get excited at the thought of thousands or millions to find out you've won £5!
A win is a win and you have to be in it to win it!

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!
