It's Friday afternoon, raining so hard were worried it's going to flood again, and everyone's going slightly mad in the office.
We've now had about 20 silly emails from the staff after this simple group email was sent. "Can we have a Tea Spoon amnesty as we have only one Tea Spoon in the kitchen."
Here's a few crazy snippets:
"I once remember, I had a teaspoon on my desk… It was brusk and chill morn way back in November, where shafts of sunlight would occasion, break through the skies hangin o’er’ed, and dance across the tree shadows cast onto the car park. I remarked to my colleague at the time, I think it was Oliver, but it may have Rudyard Kipling, that my zealous guarding love of the said shiny could cause a rankling amongst my colleagues, who were erstwhile seeking an implement with which to stir their hot beverages and measure in sweet demerara. Hot sweet sugar to dissolve into their cradled dreams and carry them onward through the day. Alas for spoons, zootikins… etc"
"Dear Randall, Kieran and to whom it may concern. As chance would have it, I was driving into work today when I noticed a figure, loitering at the work gates. Through the mist, he beckoned to me and I wound my window down. He explained that he was a travelling cutlery salesperson – “Gobblin-irons Inc and had a selection of fine silverware up for grabs. On enquiring further, he opened his coat to reveal no fewer than 17 teaspoons for the special price of £11.24 or a date with Kath in reception. Obviously I baulked at such a suggestion and sent him on his way.
Beware the tinker!!!!"
Are other offices like ours on a Friday?
Anyway here's a Sneaky Wacky Win4now Prize Preview!
I've just made 2 new competitions ready to start next week and quite sadly I've been chuckling to myself whilst researching the prizes. Can you believe that people sell pet dog all-in-one trouser suits?! .....
Have a lovely weekend, think like a duck and you'll be reet.

One year on after the floods
Well it was about this time last year when most of South Yorkshire & Hull were under water. It took everyone by surprize & caused a lot of people heartache.
I got through it lightly, just having to wade thigh deep through the streets of Sheffield to get home.
One year on, and it's a horrible soggy June, the forecast is rain, rain, rain. I hope it brightens up soon....
We should write to our MP's and see if we can change the clocks so that's its day light saving all year round, as our seasons just aren't what they used to be.
We can't rely on mother nature, so Win4now's here to help with it's funky Fake Bake competition (fake tanning prize) that should help you maintain a summery glow.
Have you taken part in our new members Poll feature?
Fun4now clues - have you got them yet? I thought my last clue was quite good.

Landmark: there's also a very famous bridge in the city
