I've done it again!
While on holiday in September I came across a story competition in my writing magazine. Being on holiday and in relaxed mood, I came up with a storyline to write up when I returned home.
Of course, on coming home life got in the way and the story wallowed in a deep recess in my brain. Then, as things on the Asian cooking writing front have gone quiet, today I decided to finish writing and submit it.
I've just about completed it but wanted to check on the actual theme of the contest to make sure I had it right - you know me and getting it wrong - so I rummaged through my old magazines until I found the correct one. I had the theme right but, yes, you've guessed it: the closing date was 19th November.
No matter how many times I check my calendar it's definitely gone past that date. I am such a plonker!

Oh, what a disappointment! But I'm sure you'll be able to use it another time.
I love writing competitions, but the ones that charge you cash to enter just annoy me...
These things happen, Liz. Damn!
oops...
Why not submit it to another magazine as an article? You might even get paid for it.
All I can say is... on your behalf... "AAAARGHJKKKQHhhhhhhpfffftt...'''kk!
"
and close quotation marks
Rats! Though I've never really entered any writing competitions...I've always been curious about them. Although, I don't think they should charge money for these things. Don't give up Liz....save it for another one.
Aw nuts. You are still a winner to me.
