This week didn't start too well. I was left feeling rather sour after having a bad customer service experience at my local dealer which resulted in being £1,000 short of a social life for the rest of the month.

But my entire week was transformed by a single phone call. It was my birthday on Monday and rather than book it off like most normal people, I came into work (like I always do) oblivious to the impending jamminess which was about to come my way.

My phone rings, I’m secretly hoping it's not a PR Agency trying to find out if I’ve used their latest press release about a new parts catalogue, but no, it turns out I’d won a competition I’d entered a few weeks back which I had completely forgotten about.

Courtesy of Headlineauto.co.uk I’ve been sent a spanking new 20-inch Apple iMac with Leopard. Excellent!

I hadn't won anything in a competition since winning Emap's virtual cow milking contest (don't ask) so to win something like that, and on my birthday too, was excellent.

What was your week like?

Right, I’m off to play with my new Mac for a week, back on November 19!
