That's amazing. I have two friends in my age group who decided to retire rather than go back into the office. And even my sister who is not quite retirement age is weighing up her options. I do admin for our family business and plus side is I always worked from home.. down side is retiring from a family business, LOL.

I'm half way through a 400 pager and have time for one more 500 pages. I'm picking this up from the library tomorrow. 503 pages

Yes, I was mightily impressed also. Well Done!

Oooh great. I've got it coming from the library later on this week.

Here is a list of classic monsters. I'd love to help out with the tasks.

Oh and is The Master a monster? Certainly the biggest recurring villain throughout the show's history.

Excuse me for butting into your thread.. but yay, yay, yay. Can't wait for the new monsters.. perfect timing after TT. Thanks so much 😍

And keep going on the Dr Who Monster Wheel. That will be awesome!

Thanks Vicky. That's great.

Kabandha is a goner. Next monster is HODAG (Urban).

That is Monster no 49. We might need a spreadsheet extension soon... by one of you Spreadsheet gurus! 😍 Many thanks.
