Came back today to find Dear Mrs Bird on the mat. Thank you GN; it looked so inviting that I opened it just for a look, but am now well into Chapter 3! Proper review soon I reckon!

Well I never . Postman only gone and delivered me a lovely book ! Here’s me thinking I’d missed out ( still puzzled about the form though) . I feel really cheered up . Thank you GNHQ . Can’t wait to start it . Might even have a cheeky drink with it . I’ve got some delicious Edinburgh Rasperry Gin I bought at the Scottish Christmas meet up . That’s settled then . smile

Thank you! Mrs Bird has just flown through my letterbox too, and it will be a treat to start enjoying on such a grey, mizzly day.

Waveney Thu 12-Apr-18 11:18:16

Thank you so much, my copy of 'Dear Mrs Bird' has just popped through my letterbox. I have already read good reviews of the book, and I am really looking forward to reading it.

Cari maybe the page could be altered so that when the draw is closed, it contains a message to that effect?

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 10-Apr-18 13:39:44

Most odd - that should only have happened when the competition was already closed. Usually that renders the form invisible - on this occasion it didn't. We had many hundreds of entries so it was definitely working. Gillybob - just checked as I thought we had seen your name on there and it was!

humptydumpty Tue 10-Apr-18 12:16:07

That's what I got, Gilly...

gillybob Tue 10-Apr-18 11:16:44

I couldn’t enter either humpty I just kept getting a message asking me to join Gransnet. confused
