So the waiting is over now, for me. Joint third is a good place to be when you’ve never won anything before, and after seeing the quality of the opposition I’m more than a little chuffed!
Actually, of course, the waiting isn’t over. Tomorrow comes the pleasure of seeing the two stories the judges deemed better than mine.

Chuffed is good, right?

Sure is! It’s a British expression meaning very pleased. Sometimes people use it ironically as in ‘mildly chuffed’ meaning extremely pleased! We’re odd that way.
