Ok, so I just got my latest Fanatics statement and it says that I have R2580.00 available in discounts. Anyone else got this or know anything about it? Or can I just go and get a huge haul of free books?
I'll join in
We do have two new challenges, so I'm not bothered if we don't do it.
Awesome, looking forward to it.
Oh, no. Field trips are the best, but being sick sucks. At least you weren't air lifted out of Moz with malaria like one of our herpetologists.
Weekends at work can be great fun if there are lots of visitors who are interested in the animals.
I'm not going to sign up just now because we open the live animal sections again next weekend so I will be working full weekends again every second week and it is going to take some getting used to. I've enjoyed working a few hours a day on weekends for most of the year...
Um, can i just point out that 1 Sep until 31 December is already 4 months. I have no problem with it going until end of January, just realised that it would be 5 months.
Just checking, the first post states that this (and Jane Austen) runs from 1 August. Today is actually 1 September. Was that an error, or can we use the books we read in August?

Done
Well done!
Yay! Congrats
Finished
Skerm is the closest translation to fence that Afrikaans has, so basically it is the Afrikaans term for fencing!
Either option works for me. Using last years is obviously the easiest option, unless someone wants to come up with new tasks for this year.
The Winter challenge finishes at the end of the month. Do we have a new challenge for September?
Finished!
But I have to do SKERM because I fence!
