    Just catching up on this thread, been busy with the rafflecopter thread so haven't posted much lately.

    But I have 2 wins to report for May, Broadchurch Series 3 on DVD and a blu ray called Wild Oats. Don't remember ending for either of them though! I going to claim May and W for those two :)

    Love the room idea for next years thread, I was going to suggest win Christmas (food/drink/presents etc) but I think the room one will be easier :)

    Do you not need several alcoholic beverages after catching up on this thread? :rotfl:

    I love Broadchurch tis a real shame it finished after only 3 seasons, Wild oats sounds rude :eek:

    And well done on the RC/Gleam thread :T

    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    Well done you - take the weight off your feet and have a well deserved rest.

    I have rubbed the newt for you so today is going to be your lucky day!

    aww thanks :D

    i am not able to have a proper lazy day as planned though.. other half had his brother round last night.. they drunk lots of can's of lager, lots of bottles of ale, and nearly a whole large bottle of gin! so needless to say, other half is feeling a bit worse for wear and is in bed... so i'm having to deal with the kids etc.. grrr.. i am doing the bare minimum though :rotfl:

    I would say no but I will check with the newt...











    The newt says no
    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

    We both know such a path leads to madness ....

    Any feedback appreciated please :T

    My idea for next year is

    Challengers Choose Challenges (try saying that after a couple of reds!!)

    My idea was to ask each challenger who took part to choose 3 challenges for the rest of us to do over the year.

    1) Easy
    (eg. win chocolate, win a book)
    2) Harder
    (eg win a FB comp, win cash)
    3) Random
    (eg win something red, win something plastic)

    This year we started with 50 players, but I think we are down to maybe 40 or less who are actually doing the challenge now :(

    To do the challenge above there would be 100 challenges to complete over a year, so we would need at least 30 players to start (and I will make up the rest :D )

    So do you like the idea or not?
    Would you join again next year or not?
