    Ok to keep the newt happy I'll sign up.

    I'm still a bit confused though as to what I'm signing up for. Are we going to have 50 separate threads going?

    Yes all the challengers will have a post on the main thread at the beginning that they will just update when they complete one of the challenges and Newt banter at the end.

    I am going to looksie how many posts are on the 2016 thread now :eek:

    Are you sure you mean thread though? Not posts on the one thread?

    It's that going to clog up CCC a bit?

    Edit crossed posts.

    I get it now so after your start post we copy the first post then once all 50 have done that we talk newts?
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
    (Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change

    I need 3 more challenges to make it up to 50 (Something funny would be good)

    How about 'I have won a fish slice'
    Save
  • Count me in, please :D

    Quick question (because you know I like to be pedantic! ;) ) will the prize over XXX amount include that amount or only over it? I mean if I was so lucky as to win a £100 voucher or cheque would that count or does it need to be more than £100, so £101 and up? Etc.

    Thanks Mansey for setting it up again :)

    I won an advent competition

    I won an effort competition

    I won a runners up prize (has to be genuine, not a "prize" everyone gets for entering) or I won a runners up prize I can't use

    I won a prize I don't want/can't use or I've won a prize, but asked for a re-draw

    I won a prize with an epic sob story

    I won a prize in a competition I don't remember entering

    I won something from my Wishlist

    I've won something of zero value (either because it's rubbish or actually priceless, like an obscure money can't buy experience)

    I've won the lottery, I'm a millionaire, I quit comping all together......
