Just to mention that @jonsie also received an #O2surprise.
What I liked about that, it showed they were 'personalised'. For instance , he was travelling to Germany and there were a few things to help him with the journey. So good on O2 (and our Admin staff) for picking up on that
I also loved the discussions Music Festivals, Music: Nature v Nurture.
On a personal note, I would like to thank @Mi-Amigo for his Beatles quizzes. An amazing amount of work for him and great enjoyment for a lot of us.
Not forgetting @pgn for the 'invention' of The Naughty Step

Thanks for sharing your favourite threads @TallTrees! I'm really pleased the word search puzzles have been so popular and we'll certainly be posting more.
Of course thanks for the reminder @Cleoriff and apologies for missing you on that shout out @jonsie!
The naughty step really made my day I think it will be a permanent part of the community for the foreseeable future.
That's what the recaps for @liggerz87 so you can catch up on anything you've missed.

It seems appropriate now to thank admin and O2 again for the wonderful surprise I received, it was a shock but was very welcome indeed.
So, having said that, let's now recap on a great March but hope that the many problems with the community website are dealt with promptly by Lithium in April. They are detailed elsewhere so I won't list them here atm

I`d like to say it was great to read that @jonsie and @Cleoriff had both, deservedly, received 02 surprise boxes.
The topics on music and festivals brought back many happy memories and was a great opportunity to share experiences with others.
I was flattered to have been chlosen to be the subject for the Community Spotlight and hope you know a little bit more about me.
I`d like to thank @Cleoriff for her kind comments about the Beatles` Challenges which I have set and run. These have been a true labour of love for me and I would like to thank all the members who took part in the last one - which was to find names of people in the lyrics of Beatles songs. Between them the seven members found a staggering 101 names - more than listed on a Beatles fan website, which goes to show the knowledge of the 02 Community members. The new Challenge is up and running and any member s welcome to come and take part.
I`d also like to thank @pgn for creating the Naughty Step as extension of Alice`s Tea Party - yes, folks these do exist on "off topic".
All in all, a great month for me in the Community and hope that all the members found something of interest.
I cannot end this post without thanking the great admin - @Martin-O2 ; @Marjo ; and @EmilieT - who do a brilliant job on this Community.

I regret hat I may have recapped March elsewhere and stepped on a few toes....
Ah well, sometimes, when things aren't going too well, you just don't care and want to share
