Sorry, that’s not the answer!. Aren’t you quick to reply! They say the early bird catches the worm, but not this time Raquel. Try harder!

Could it be: “The Government bails out our banks to help them with this difficult situation”?

It means to give them money to help them because they haven´t.

In fact, Raquel, Rebeca and me are in a draw. I have looked through all our answers, and the score is:

1.Beamer –> Raquel
2.Dowel –> Raquel
3.I finally got my foot in the door when the company accepted my application –> Raquel
4.Seesaw (Almudena Tarín) and Teeter-totter (Cecilia)
5.A stitch in time saves nine –> Cecilia
6.Put money where mouth is –> Rebeca
7.The buck stops here –> Raquel
8.A fool and his money are soon parted –> Rebeca
9.The Government bails out our banks –> Cecilia

So, Raquel has got 4 merit points, I have 3, Rebeca 2 of them and finally Almudena has got 1.
