Oh - I must be getting mixed up. I think I may be getting confused with an imaginary lizard.

I do enjoy these challenges but I am hopeless at thinking up a new one - sorry (but I'm in please!)

Had my first win of the month yesterday. I never buy products just to enter instant wins (only if it's something i need that just so happens to have a comp on it and sometimes I don't even notice until it's too late!) I found a box of Mr. Kiplings Viennese whirls yesterday that i had bought for cricket teas and then forgot! Out of date and an awful lot of syns on slimming world :eek: Anyway.... noticed it had an instant win on it so gave it a go.... and won a BFG jigsaw!! Thats deffo gong to PostPals when it arrives

I have recently been thinking about next years challenge too

Some of my ideas were...

Do a best of the rest.
The Compers Challenge been running for what 3/4/5 years (I don't know without looking)
So pick the best challenges from each year

I really enjoyed the enter 1 million comps in a year, but that would take someone with more computer savvy than me to run a spreadsheet

When we do a win a prize from A-Z it is always really funny :rotfl:

I have really enjoyed working with lucinad this year to try and complete 50K C2Ws, working with someone seems to egg you on more to keep trying/try harder :eek:

The idea of having a list of "harder" challenges that people can try to complete over the year is a good one, what I don't like is the idea that only 1 person can up date that list

As always I am open to any suggestions you would like to put forward for next years challenge :beer:

I'm pretty good in excel if you need someone to run a spreadsheet - used to spend my entire working life running spreadsheets, so happy to volunteer if needed.

I liked the A-Z challenge, it was fun

I've been wondering what next years challenge will be, my ideas so far are:

Win your age in numbers/value - so I'm 42 so I'd have to win 42 prizes with a value of £1976.

Win Christmas - so food/drink/decorations/gifts etc

Or how about a book for each letter of the alphabet?

Or for a harder challenge.....how about a reverse A-Z, so instead of prizes starting with the letters A-Z, prizes ending with A-Z. E.G Tequila, a Bib, iMac etc

For a group challenge, how about we try to win something from A-Z for postpals?

Just a thought, but if you had a separate thread for a "harder" or group challenge, then anybody could update?

What I mean is say (for example) we went with my A-Z for postpals idea. The first post could be just the letters A-Z, then as each player has a winner that could be added, they would add a post, filling in the relevant letter. The next poster to win would then simply copy and paste the latest post and then update it before posting.

I like the idea of a 'Win something every month'- that was very almost my personal challenge for this year (and I'm kinda regretting that I didn't go with that one at the moment....:o)

I know there's an 'Enter 1000 c2w' at the moment, but could this be expanded to include Mag Dailies, as the click to wins take me FOR EVER and I still haven't quite reached my 100 yet, but magdailies are quicker for some reason...

I am thinking maybe only 25/30 Challenges but MUCH harder ones that can be spread out over the year.

Challenges were 2 people work together

I love the ideas of the Reverse A-Z, and the A-Z for charity (I would make so folks could donate to PostPals or their local charity shop, I think most folks will have a charity shop in their village/town)

I hope lucinad is playing next year I am sure she will be called upon lots :T

What if we had 30 challenges and you were allowed to pass on 3, cos some folks don't do gleam/rafflecopters/FB/C2Ws ect

It's been hard enough to win anything this year! At least with lots of challenges you've a good chance of shoe-horning your wins in somewhere...

And some of us don't have pets

Could I respectfully request we have less duplicated challenges next year *ducks for cover before people throw things*

How about a colours of the rainbow challenge, got to win 6 items- one red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple :rotfl:

How would you count though? If you did something like the Reverse A-Z, wouldn't that be 26 challenges already?

Just an idea, but what if you did something like a Reverse A-Z for challenges 1-26, win something for the charity A-Z for no 27, then had a list of say 10 "hard" challenges, and each person picked 3 to do so that everybody had 30 challenges in total, would that work?

Could that mean an extension of your previous posts?

I'm sorry I don't know what you mean.

I am open to all suggestion but I would prefer if you used your real name and not a clone
