Hi all,
Our last Lurkers' week big prize winner is Rainwashed - congratulations! 
The thread chosen at random was What games did you used to play at school? And the post chosen at random was number 6.
We'll be in touch with all winners very soon with further details. 
Hi all,
To the winners of our various Lurkers' Week prizes - we will be in touch by email asap, however, there will be a delay in sending out prizes while we adhere to government recommendations and work from home. We are sure you will understand that this is rather out of our hands in these somewhat testing times.
We will continue to run other competitions as usual, but again, delivery may well be held up by the fact that those providing the prizes find themselves in similar circumstances.
We will get everything out as soon as we can, and wish everyone well in the meantime. 
We'll be announcing today's big prize winner on Monday, so keep your eyes peeled for that and carry on posting on our Lurkers' week threads - you can find a full list of them here.
And congrats to Bythebyes - you've won a book!
And a few last spot prizes to end the week with...
Well done to twinnytwin - you've won a limited edition Gransnet tea towel!
We're coming to the end of Lurkers' Week and have been overwhelmed by the uptake. A huge welcome to all new posters and thank you for your contributions this week. Hopefully now you've taken the plunge you'll decide to stay and join in more often. `
A big thank you too to the regulars who've been so welcoming and helpful to new posters.
This afternoon we've been asking what common misspelling drives you crazy?
And as a last Lurkers' Week thread we're simply asking if anyone has any fun plans for the weekend. Link here.
Have a good one! 
Yesterday we asked you to guess how many times the word 'dog' and 'cat' has been used on site in the last 3 complete months.
Well done to Nortsat - you guessed closest for both dogs and cats. You've won a Rummikub board game!
Here's how many times the words were mentioned on Gransnet during that time period. There's a clear winner

Dog - 2,203
Cat - 6,739

Sorry, that should be s861421. I was concentrating on getting the numbers right and got the asterisks wrong.
Hello from yet another long time Lurker in sunny Suffolk this afternoon. It is actually feeling a bit Spring like, wonderful.
I too post occasionally but read and enjoy almost every day. It is so lovely to see all these new names, hopefully many will now be regular posters. What a great idea this was, was it you lemongrove? Well done.
