    hi all, I am flying back to the UK tomorrow arvo my time, will still update the challenge but it might be at weird times. Please let me know if there are any missing emojis/incorrect totals b/c it can be hard to keep track of this in another time zone and at such a distance. xx :)

    1/27 for me today please.

    @cathybird - I hope your return journey is smooth, as I've been seeing online news stories of disruptions to air traffic throughout the Middle East.

    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?
