I’m a Winner!

It’s not often that you go to the pub and come home with more money than you went with and a bottle of wine, but that’s what I did last night.

A few of us went to the quiz at the Alexandra, and I think for the first time in my life I was part of the highest scoring team. Unfortunately, the quiz has a bit of an unusual format. Instead of simply giving the team who get them most right answers the top prize, for every question a dice is rolled and if you get the question right you move that number of spaces on a snakes and ladders board. We got 29 out of 35, more than any other team, but hit every snake on the board so ended up with the 3rd prize of some drinks tokens. I was quite disappointed about it really.

My mood improved though when I won a bottle of wine in the raffle, then £20 at bingo. Altogether, our team won 6 free drinks, 3 easter eggs, a bottle of wine and £20. Not a bad night out really :-)

The only problem is, I had three pints, and being such a lightweight I’m really feeling today. I’m not exactly hung over, but I feel tired and groggy. Why are quizzes always on a Monday night?

Anyway, cheers to the team for a good night out. As well as being winners we had a good laugh….. Especially Ness who could probably have been heard from China ;-)
