I agree, boon the mermaid asap :)

Yup, but it might take a while until we get exactly 5 goals that none of us can do. At some point we might have to settle for less nasty ones for the super boon, we only have approx 2 weeks left of challenge.

I don't have anything for hospital either :(. I'd be great to use the super boon soon...
