Sorry:-) Can I do this challenge a second time, within the same time frame (April 2010-March 2011)?

Melanie wrote: "Yz the Whyz wrote: "Not exactly sure what you mean. Can you explain further?"

Sorry:-) Can I do this challenge a second time, within the same time frame (April 2010-March 2011)?"

Sure!

Although I'm confused why you would keep the old time frame. Wouldn't it be better you put a new start date and end date, just keep the same time duration?

I'm chipping slowly away at my list - I had to go way back almost to the Dark Ages, so I still have a dozen to go. I keep trying to fit them into the monthly challenges, but they're being stubborn!

lol, oh BJ, don't feel too bad - I keep forgetting to even try on this one.
