    I love you all for joining my game - shall we go back to our old/other avatars at the start of next week's thread?

    Good idea Dusty - hopefully you can get a few more recruits before the end of the week... ;)
    Ok, so how do I know what each smurf is :confused:;)
    You can guess, and that way we'll know a. whether our choice of smurf was right and b. what you really think of us :eek:

    I've been doing a bit of diary organisation - booked a visit to my godfather, and am sorting out dates for the bird-proofing/disinfecting of the attic. Just need to sort out all the other things that need dealing with this month.

    I feel I ought to give my team presents as I'm leaving... but I'm not sure what. Any ideas? There are 5 of them, two girls, three boys (oh yes, and one is getting married on Friday... I must remember to check what's left on his wedding list!).
