A note from the Editor
Last week on Twitter, Louise posed the question, "What's the strangest thing you've done to get a placement?". You can see some of the best responses here.

But more importantly (she'll kill me for saying that so don't tell her I did!), it's Christmas next week and this is the last newsletter of the year. So I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
