    A specific but very simple item will be good for a "hard challenge"

    eg Mrs Bot's Challenge is Win a Fish Slice, I asked her last night if it had to be the Fish is the Dish Fish Slice and she said no any old fish slice will do, now think about it how many fish slice comps do you see? That Will be hard to win.

    My hard challenge is win an item for your bedroom/bathroom/living room/kitchen/garden you have to win 5 prizes to claim one challenge.

    Not just win a DVD but win 12 DVDs over the year.
    Not just win a book but win 12 books over the year.
    A red quilt cover.
    A blue plate
    Win a pen
    Win a cutlery set
    Win a doormat

    So something simple but specific is just as hard to win as something that is large/expensive.

    :D

    Trouble with some of the challenges is that they are for competitions you wouldn't enter.

    The specific item ones are more fun because you have to find a competition with that as a prize.
    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

    Am I right in thinking the challenge was for us all to complete not just meant for m to complete at some stage throughout the year?

    I picked the bathroom suite as that is what I'm gunning for.

    x

    Yeah, each challenge is for all of us to try and achieve ;)

    We could ask each person to choose a personal challenge each too, that would be good too something each person would like to try and win next year :D :T

    When I type up the challenge list for everyone to copy and paste their own post onto the new thread, I will add a Personal Challenge and leave it blank so each person can add what they would like to win ;)

    No more monthly challenges

    Thanks Folks :T

    We already have more than 12 so you may get 2 monthly challenges some months :eek:

    There are still loads of places left for anyone who would like to join all you have to do is choose an Easy Challenge and a Hard Challenge that we can all attempt next year. :D
