Can I please have a little boast?

Where I work (holiday cottage booking centre) they have this incredibly complicated points-mean-prizes system based on all kinds of weird stats.

Every month the best performers get a Congrats balloon and a £10 voucher, and I've had 2 of them so far last quarter - I found out today that I have won the quarterly prize in our section

(I get to have lunch in the boardroom with the MD, the 2 other section winners and various manager people - there is champagne but I'll have to do a 6-hour shift on the phone afterwards so will not be able to appreciate it )

Anyway I don't usually win anything, let alone by my own efforts, so I'm dead chuffed, so please excuse brag

Fantastic - well done - go for it!!!!!

LittleLupin · 11/07/2007 22:44

I think so, we'll have to figure it out, as I am a non-driver and DH will be halfway up the nearest hill!

PeachesMcLean · 11/07/2007 22:45

That IS brilliant WW but I have to say, lunch with the MD and champagne you can't enjoy? Is that their idea of a prize? You deserve swanky lunch with your mates and an afternoon off, I say.

Brag thoroughly excused though.

Rabbit then a warewolf...big step up that....!

THis from Friday for a week, DG - sleeps 12, but over 2 grand! (Could you find 6 more people, would seem quite cheap then?)

(In fact it is empty Thurs too, if you would be interested ring up, we could ring the owner and ask if you could get in a day early)

OP posts:
DelGirl · 11/07/2007 22:56

WendyWeber · 11/07/2007 22:56

Oh 2 weeks - someone is booked in Sat & Sun in the middle but again, owner might do a deal if they could move out and move back in???

DelGirl · 11/07/2007 22:58

they're going away so it would only be for a week so thats ok

PeachesMcLean · 11/07/2007 22:58

I wish we could go to Cornwall, it was just wistful thinking. I can see why you got your prize... I clearly wouldn't with my attitude.
