    my challenge would be to win something for each room of the house/garden so lounge, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, garden, shed

    I still like the alphabet challenge though

    I like both of those :D

    Some great ideas thanks ladies :T

    Haha some great suggestions! :D

    One was The Wind in the Willows....W is filled, but lucinad's suggestion of Fiction Book works I guess? Although it was an illustrated version, so we could use I?

    One was a Graphic Novel about space travel....G and S are filled......and Novel is a bit of a stretch! Or maybe use I for Illustration for this one instead of for WITW?

    One was a book about "My World" so geography, people, culture etc......maybe we could use A for Atlas as I think it had lots of maps in?! Although I don't think it was alphabetical, it was full of facts, so Encyclopedia could work?

    They were 3 separate wins and I haven't put any on my individual list, so any or all can be used for the charity alphabet :)

    Anybody else not really won anything this year? I won my first prize in 2 years this January, however nothing since. Wondering whether my email has been blocked or whether it's just really bad luck?
