Dear Oddies Friends

The changes at Oddies headquarters don’t stop…

Last week Michael left us after two fantastic months. I am sure that he will not only be missed at Oddies but also by all the blog readers. Thanks Michael, it was great to work with you!

What else is new? Ah yes, two new Oddies characters are planned for Christmas 2008; Santa Oddie and Angel Oddie.
On top are pictures of the Italian version of the anticipated Oddies books. I don’t know about you, but I really like them. It they are not a reason to looking forward to Christmas!!!

Have a great day!
Salome

Oopf! The other interns are writing the blog today. I am merely in charge of pictures. See below for photographic evidence of the Oddie office team. More exctitingly, I asked for Swiss chocolate yesterday and look what appeared on my desk this morning. Good form.

ODDIES TEAM!


SWISS CHOCOLATE!

All change at Oddie towers.
You’ll no doubt be as disappointed to hear that my time is up at Oddies. Yup, two months have passed and its time to hand the baton onto the next in a long line of Oddies interns. Also departing over the next few days is office supremo Salome “Swiss” Egger who has been handling and packing up your orders for nearly six months now. And an excellent job she’s been doing of it too.
Replacing us is Sabina, who like Salome is also Swiss. I don’t know about you but I’m expecting vast amounts of nice swiss chocolate before I leave. Yum.

On the Oddies character front we’ve been seeing a few designs and covers for new Oddies characters, possibly for release around Christmas. I’ll see if I’m allowed to put the pictures up here tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow, there will be a bumper photo post tomorrow. And that’s a promise.

Dear Blogettes, it has been too long, and the fault is all mine. Things have been getting hectic in Oddieworld. SO what is new at Oddie HQ? Well, samples for our new socks continue to pour through the door at a rate of knots, which has been keeping the Oddies staff toes warm during this cold snap.

A big "hello" to those we met at the Basildon Book festival last week. I hope you had as much creating your own Oddies as we did. Admire the selection below [NB: pics will appear ASAP]. A good effort all round I think.

Advanced notice as well for those in the Hampshire area, the Aldershot News & Mail will soon be running a competition to win no less than four (4!) Oddies book and sock sets as well as a free book promotion. Aldershot: Home of the British Army, this Oddies blog writer and fans of the Oddies - Wonderful place!
