Thank you everyone for all the great comments, it was good fun reading through them.
I didn’t pick out the winners in case I was biased in any way so I asked some friends and family to read through them and pick out 5 of the best. I’ve emailed each of the winners earlier this morning.
My nephew Donal tested the quality of the prizes before they go out in the post.
Little Quiz launched this week offering a chance to win a spanking new Sony Ericsson walkman phone compliments of their first quiz sponsor, downloadmusic.ie
To be in with a chance to win the phone you just answer 3 simple questions, that’s all!
The monkeys behind Littlequiz must have lost their marbles because they’re just giving stuff away. If you sign up to the newsletter you could win €100 in cash and there’s even a page dedicated to how to win prizes.
I’m looking forward to seeing more prizes on offer on the site from week to week. It’s a great looking site and I hope plenty of sponsors come onboard to help out and promote their own products at the same time.

The Jack & Jill Foundation, through its partner Promethean, have launched a campaign where they are asking schools to swap 300 old mobile phones for a new interactive 78 inch Promethean ActivBoard.
My fiancée is a primary school teacher in Cork and she has begun to collect old mobile phones to get an interactive whiteboard for her classroom.
So far we have 19 mobile phones thanks to family and friends. I’m hoping that through the various businesses I know around the country that we can collect together 300 or more phones. Can you help?
19 phones so far..
If you have an old mobile phone lying around, I’ll collect it from you if you’re around Cork city.
It is estimated that there are over 10 million old phones in Irish households so 300 shouldn’t be too hard I hope.
I wonder would they settle for 1 large phone maybe?
