    I also thought this was going to happen so haven't voted either. I assumed as I stepped away from the thread someone else would have emailed a BG to set up a new poll - maybe a late starter this year

    I specifically requested that you confined your digs to PMs - this apparently you are unable to do as people would be unable to see how saintly you are.

    In an earlier post you denied taking any ownership of the thread but I have to point out the bolded part of your quote - nobody asked you to 'step into' the thread in the first place!

    I have had support on this thread and Glad has been most helpful. This being the case I had intended to at least attempt to set the challenge up properly but I find this time of year depressing enough, in all honesty. Given that I have started 2012 by finding my cat dead, I can no longer summon the necessary energy to continue any further

    Apologies to everyone else - I intend to follow my own challenge as in my sig and wish you all the best of luck in 2012

    As far as your sig goes - you may be small but to it would be very hard to underestimate you

    I was responding to another poster not you. Once again you're taking everything out of proportion i was simply pointing out that a new poll was suggested and it was getting very close to the new year and nothing had appeared.

    You made it clear you didn't want my help so I guess I just assumed you would be doing this. No I wasn't asked to 'step in' but as is apparent you've got it all covered yes? :eek:

    I have had plenty of support myself and numerous PM's thanking me for trying to get 2012 challenge under way so don't think yourself special sweetheart :j

    Oh and sorry about your cat I understand you not wanting to carry on, will just have to wait and see if someone else picks it up :j
