    And just a wee housekeeping point - you don't mind your thread being hijacked by all of us playing your 100 day game - or should these go on our own threads? Decisions, decisions.

    I've been thinking about my 100 days challenge - I have several that are flitting around my braincell at the moment

    1/ Find my Dad's money - biggie job always at the back of my mind so this will be a good challenge - and mindmaps and lots of info & help will be required
    2/ Lose 2 (or 3) stone
    3/ Pay off last credit card
    4/ Prepare house for winter - maybe 100 DIY jobs & stuff needing done - from replacing lightbulbs to cleaning roans and stocking up on logs

    That's kind of what I'm thinking of - I don't want to set up too difficult challenges as I'm only getting signed back to work next week & I need to be aware of that & look after me & John - long story, but believe me, it's a good 'un

    And Elantan - ashamed to admit it - but I've never been to the [STRIKE]mother[/STRIKE] earth ship yet - but it's on the list :D

    Ooops sorry ClottiesMum!!

    Wahey for the delivery - means it wont have to come out of my £1 a day for 100 days that I'm going to do.

    Lets all stay and play together for the next 100 days - rather than scatter to the four winds - besides it not my thread really - its our thread.

    Off to Chanter practice

    Back soon
