    Well, I did try, I just didn't succeed:rotfl:

    (And before anyone else can say it, I will admit that yes, my husband would say that I am very, very trying.)

    I wonder if he knows my hubby he says that a lot too :o

    In our house if somebody says "I tried" the usual response is "And that's what makes it so sad".

    Does that include falling with style?

    Obviously the Newt has the final say!

    To keep thing simple, 'Something that flies' can relate to anything with wings, or something aviation-related...

    Some random examples: A holiday (with flights included - ambitious I know!), A drone toy, an Airfix model kit, a hot air balloon flight, tickets to a butterfly house, a toy x-wing fighter, a Haynes manual about Spitfires or similar (!), RSPB membership, a helicopter flight, a Supergirl DVD, an insect encyclopedia, the latest album by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, etc.

    Hope this helps!

    :cool:

    I was thinking that time flies, so perhaps I could try and win a watch.......

    What was last month's challenge? Was it flowers? Just remembered the wellies I won are flowery.

    As time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like a banana can we have fruit for something that flies?
