    Weel, the nights are fair drawin' in (as we say round these parts) so there's nothing better than curtains shut, feet up and a cup of something hot.

    Now, does anyone fancy starting off the November thread? I am sure, if someone starts the thread and keeps the front page updated with the totals, then some of us can do mini-updates now and then.

    Freeby - so sorry to hear you're having a rough time. It's our turn to give you some virtual TLC. This thread has been so inspirational and I love the challenge every month.

    Nargle - bless you for doing the update :A

    I'm happy to help out - I'm a bit apprehensive about taking on the huge commitment that freeby has demonstrated just due to available time (or lack of it!). However I can't imagine the NSD thread not being here so I can set November up on Wednesday if no-one's managed to do it by then :)

    Phew, I only came on to report #24/25

    Happy Monday all.
    Can't believe it is the last week of the month already.
    Where has October gone?
    Where has this year gone?
    Must be getting old.

    I know , I can't believe we're heading towards the big C so soon again :eek:

    Big hugs Freeby - don't feel bad about not being able to commit the time on here atm, you obviously have far more pressing things going on that need your attention. We're all here for you, whenever you need us xx

    Thanks for tonight's update Nargle :T

    I feel a little like a stuck record that I really don't think i could commit to looking after the thread and doing it justice. I've just logged off from another 12hr day and this week is not looking like its going to be much different from the last. in fact, i don't see anything changing for me anytime soon. I love popping in to catch up with you guys but am feeling awfully stretched as it is and OH is going to lose patience with me soon if I don't get offline a bit more (and frankly I don't blame him)

    If anyone could start the new thread, I would like to perhaps suggest we can natter and look after ourselves throughout the month, with a final tally at the end perhaps? I'm just thinking that these coming weeks are going to be getting busier for everyone and so long as we're here to support each other, i think we could do our own prizes? *ducks under the parapet before rotten tomatoes are thrown*

    On that note, NSD #13 here - mainly cos i didn't leave my desk all day :eek:

    ps oddly enough, boot camp was cancelled this morning :rotfl:
