Thanks, Joy the idea was mine, but the execution of it was down to Mr P !

I was trying to show the range of G'netters (politics, history science, I had hoped to include a book showing House & Home and include the wine, cake etc to try to cover the broad base that is Gransnet, however I think Mr P did a great job!

Well done Joy your design was great, although I think you could have replaced "O" (ordinary Gran) with perhaps "Outstanding Gran" Define "Ordinary"?!!!!

Are any of us "Ordinary"? grin

Where is the news of the Tea Towel Competition - can't find anything about it on the front page, it's just completely disappeared confused

JoyBloggs Wed 06-Nov-13 20:30:58

phoenix 'O' was a tricky one! 'Outstanding' would def have been better, but alas, too late now! As for the definition of 'Ordinary'... my dictionary says 'of the usual kind, undistinguished'... hmmm, this has got to be me, as I'm sure it doesn't apply to any other G'netters!

Flowerofthewest Thank you for kind words - much appreciated!

Agus Wed 06-Nov-13 20:44:08

Phoenix. I don't possess any tea towels (another threadgrin ) but I definitely liked yours.

Maggiemaybe Thank you for your message, much appreciated!

Well done to NannyGloria who has won £100 Debenhams voucher. Please check your emails for more info.

JoyBloggs I liked yours too, congrats! smile. In fact it was hard to choose between the front runners ...

Aka Sun 10-Nov-13 12:03:55

Thank you. I had an email on November 1st saying I'd won the book 'Quiet' but nothing arrived so far. Should I just be more patient?

Flowerofthewest Sun 10-Nov-13 14:01:59

Aka I am still waiting to win grin

Aka Sun 10-Nov-13 14:45:30

It's a lottery Flower. So many winners are names I've never heard of, have you noticed that?

annodomini Sun 10-Nov-13 14:46:43

It sometimes takes ages for a book to come through. I thought When the Mountains Echoed would never arrive.

tanith Sun 10-Nov-13 14:54:50

I got the set of Penny Dreadful books I've won on Friday, they are perfect for my granddaughter thanks so much..

Anne58 Sun 10-Nov-13 15:07:10

I agree Aka , I think there must be some "members" who just enter the competitions, which seems a shame. When I look back at the OP on this thread, it makes me remember that I have been here since the beginning! grin

Flowerofthewest Sun 10-Nov-13 15:30:59

Guessed that Aka, just kidding. I live in hope. flowers

Maggiemaybe Sun 10-Nov-13 17:11:47

Gransnet has thousands of members you'll rarely hear of. I know a couple myself who will never post on discussion forums because it's not their sort of thing, but they still enjoy logging on to see what others have written or looking for tips and information. And of course, entering the competitions! Congratulations to all winners. smile

JoyBloggs Sun 10-Nov-13 20:22:33

Thank you, grannyknot, a pity they couldn't print all of the short-listed tea towel designs - the others all appealed to me for different reasons and I would have liked one of each.

Congrats to tigger who has won a New Year break to Holme Lacy House Hotel.

Also, well done to... mandajane, Engg, susiegee, grandma49, SusieWilkinson, thomwest, baggie28, oldwalshy, dawnwhite and janemphoto <phew> who have all won a copy of Celine Dion's new album Loved Me Back To Life.

Please check your emails for more details.

Aka Mon 11-Nov-13 13:08:17

Thank you, again. My copy of 'Quiet' has just arrived in the post.

Maggiemaybe Mon 11-Nov-13 18:11:31

You lucky tigger - congratulations, what a prize! Not that the CD cd wouldn't have been nice as well, of course.

Aka Fri 15-Nov-13 17:31:30

COPPAS ...has anyone tried to enter this competition? After you've gone to the bother of writing out your recipe and filling in your details it adds you to supply an http:// address for the recipe.

How on earth is that supposed to work? hmm

shysal Fri 15-Nov-13 20:30:20

I was also a bit confused, so I copied the url of my recipe page and pasted it in the box. I am sure that didn't actually work as a link though. I am not great on technology so let's hope someone comes up with the solution.

Hi Aka, to enter the Copas Turkeys comp, we've asked entrants to submit a recipe to our recipes section. Once you've done that, copy & paste the URL link of your recipe into the competition entry form.

It's just so we know which new recipes are because of the competition, and which are just 'normal' recipe submissions, so we can pick the winner fairly.
