Island Radio Prize Win

I bought myself a radio recently and have started listening to the Zakynthos English speaking radio station 'Island Radio'

During the run up to Christmas they have been holding a daily 'Advent Calendar Quiz' with different prizes every day. Basically, answer the 3 Christmas related questions asked throughout the day & text the answers in when told too.

I sent a text about a week ago but was not quick enough getting my answers in that day to be the first text received. However, yesterday I tried again and lo and behold, the answers were given followed by the announcement 'and today's winner is Sandra Booth from Ambelokipi'

Yippeeeeeeee - I've won a Swedish massage at a local beauty salon. I popped into the radio station today to pick up my voucher, I just have to call the salon to arrange when I want to have my massage - I might save it now until the new year.

Also while I was in town today I opened a Greek bank account which was a very straightforward procedure. All I needed was my passport and my ΑΦΜ (if you recall from previous posts, this is my Greek tax number) I understand the bank I am with have Internet banking available in English so I'll have to see if I can set that up now too.

  • Sandra, I have spent a while writing a nice chatty comment and then when I went to sign on the **!?** thing disappeared. In brief: lovely to hear you are happy and like your job; take your pension now: living and working here sucks, think that just about covers it!!!
    Thanks for your e-card, yes, I thought it was from my niece Sandra, thought she'd got suddenly very thoughtful. Phoned my sistger and told her how touched I was - touched being the appropriate word I think!!
    I also wrote to not look back to former Christmases, that way is only pointless heartache, look forward. Fortune favours the brave and you are certainly well on your way, I admire you very much.

    Have a lovely Christmas and a very happy new year.
    Love Bern xxx
