I won ... I won ... I won

Scots College, along with their 'sister' college, Queen Margaret, recently printed a rather special cookbook. The school then ran a competition to see who could sell the most cookbooks in the Prep School and in the College. There was also a competition between the Prep School and the College.

Joshua - along with a whole heap of help from Mummy (!!) - won the competition. In total 'we' sold 81 cookbooks - by far the most for the Prep School and even the College.

For his efforts, Joshua won the grand prize which was an IPOD TOUCH (gosh Mummy would love one of those herself!). It is quite something - it has a GPS facility and the option to download endless games and music. Oh joy, another piece of technology to take Joshua's attention ! However, he was absolutely overjoyed to win the prize and his confidence soared when so many of the 'big; boys came up to congratulate him. Mummy even had a few boys come up to her over the following few days asking how did Josh do it ????

So ... a very big and heartfelt thank you to all our family and friends who didn't hesitate to buy a cookbook and support Joshua in this competition. I sincerely know that the last thing some of you wanted was another cookbook - but you did it to support Joshua ... and we won't forget that.


Joshua up on stage receiving his prize - from the looks of things, he had already turned it on!

I arrived at school on the day the results were announced ... and managed to capture this photograph of Joshua as he ran towards me shouting "Mummy, I won, I won" - a priceless moment!
