So I asked you to find twelve items from Lord Sugar's birthday list. Let's begin with Mercury, I put George as your PM. Was he a good PM?

George - how did you go about finding the items and managing the team?

Initially, I misread the number of items on the list and thought that there were ten and not twelve, so I was going to take four myself and give Emma and JJ three each. Then, I realised there were twelve, so we each took four items. I asked Emma and JJ to find two links for each of their items, so that if the other team had chosen one first or there was another problem, we had an immediate backup choice. I spent about the first half-hour going through Emma and JJ's links and emailing them to you at top speed before working on the ones I had allocated myself. We all found the four items we were allocated, except JJ who didn't complete the business flight item, so Emma took over that one.

It seems you focussed on getting the links sent as soon as possible... did you focus on finding the cheapest links?

I myself went through several links for each of my items trying to find the cheapest I could. I can't speak for my team mates, but each of them gave me two links, and I generally used the cheapest one they suggested, unless there was a reason for me to use the other one.
Eliza, how did you go about on this task? It must have been harder considering you had an inactive on your team.
Yes. I wasn't sure if Naruto would show up so Nick halved the items and me and Nick set about finding our items, putting links on our thread before posting them to you so I could check his and he could look at ours. 
Sounds great. Now for the results - unfortunately Karren has to go to the optician because of a staring syndrome so I will be delivering the results today.
I shall start with the yellow Sari, Helium, the 3D TV, the Pukka Pad and the deep fat fryer.

I know this doesn't change anything but our flight was £2300 and something because it included other stuff (It was in small print) but we still win. Just wanted to be honest!
Well done Team Sterling!!!!!
