It's sucks, but I get to watch soccer :D
I'm here also. Had a little bout with the flu but I'll be ready for tomorrow.
I'm a bit late with this, but...1. What genre would you rather jump off a cliff than read? Science Fiction
2. What genre would you call your favourite (read most of the time) Contemporary Erotica
3. Is there a genre would you absolutely never read not in a million years, no way, nope never!! Horror
4. Is there a genre that you would read at a push but only in a life, death or reading challenge scenario? UF
Mod
Booo to sickness!!I've had my sick for the year, I was ill for about 3 weeks about a month ago and it sucked !!
So as bad as I feel for you, you can keep your flu over there lol
Hope you are feeling better soon xx
Mod
Are you all good with doing some randomly strategic guessing around the middle? Which is a combination of what V Audio Nerd and Alexandria suggested.
If so, then V will put in the guesses in a bit (she's heading home at the moment) and then she's going to post the tasks!
Keep your fingers crossed for hits!!
If there is a special square you really absolutely want to hit this time, SAY SO NOW before it's too late ;-)
Personally, I'm going to run off for my dinner now and then I'll swing by later to see what shenanigans you have all gotten up to.
K and Abbie will get pms with the tasks, everyone else should be around now - I know Alexandria isn't far, she's been keeping up with the thread and posting from time to time, so no worries :-)
Mod
I'm just concerned, since they are replacing people who aren't checking in or chatting I think."
No, they've only been replacing people who haven't made an appearance in the threads. Not chatting isn't the reason why some people were replaced. It was the fact that they have been MIA and failed to respond to pms by captains and mods.
This goes to all of you lovelies: Don't worry, you will not be kicked off the team just because you aren't posting all the time every day, or hitting us with a million gifs :-)
Whoop we have a full team and ready to go!!
Lol no you are not required to spam the thread with gifs, we just like to mix it up a bit with some tough talk, speaking of which where are those Teeny Tiny Terror birds??
Mod
Our cheerleader has been missing as well, tsk tsk ...
Alright, I'm off. See you later!
Thanks Eldarwen & V Nerd. I'm starting to feel better and ready to go for the challenge! Happy to go with whatever spots you pick although the middle does sound like a good place to start.
Right I've just sent the same pm to everyone with a screenshot (hopefully it worked) I've also sent friend requests yay !!
Checking in! Thanks for the PM! Reading and GR time has definitely taken a hit this week. Booooo! Although it's been a nice visit and we all went to see The conjuring2 yesterday. I'm down with the new strategy template! That's awesome!
Sorry Karen& ST have been feeling yucky. Feel better soon!
Do we get before and after pics ST? :D
E - I hope you get to read
:) soooo good!
Love the colors, looks like a good approach!
Eldarwen, I'll be working late tomorrow, so you'll probably already be cozy in bed :)Want to start Pucked on Sat instead?
That movie was set in the UK in Enfield right? isn't it a true story?

I didn't get a PM - was it to everyone of just captains?
V Nerd wrote: "That movie was set in the UK in Enfield right? isn't it a true story?"Yes! I thought it was a good creeper - Liked it better than the first one. The beginning talks about Amityville so I was spooked out starting there. Lol!
Sorry LaurLa I went down the list and must have skipped your name :○( on the way now x
ooh I'd love to go to the real Amityville house, is it still there? There was a TV drama recently about the Enfield thing, they had the real recordings of the voices and stuff, really creepy.
I've turned into a bit of a wuss now days when it comes to paranormal horror movies, I think it's from all of the ouija boards I used to do when I was younger, I wouldn't go near one now lol
You already know I'm a wuss with books...these movies would give me nightmares :o/
V Nerd wrote: "Sorry LaurLa I went down the list and must have skipped your name :○( on the way now x"Ouch :-(
Sorry lovely, my battery was running really low so I was doing it really quickly as I was on the bus on the way home lol
V Nerd wrote: "Sorry lovely, my battery was running really low so I was doing it really quickly as I was on the bus on the way home lol"It's all good ;-)

So just waiting for the spreadsheet and I'll be able to put our guesses on.So far everyone has said they are happy with the hit list, if you are not and just want to throw in a random ol pick give a shout out in the next 10 mins and I can add it
SPREADSHEET IS HERE!!!!Soooo I'm entering our guesses now, I have to wait a couple of minutes between each entry as they have to formulate tasks.......be back soon MWAHAHAHA
Doing a snoopy dance!!I'd do a gif, but I'm on my phone...so you'll have to use your imagination ;)

You'll have to shoot again. I'll delete everything and then try again
Woah ! I've just come out for a second, it always creeps me out when someone else is doing stuff at the same time, like a little ghost!!

Sarah was telling me the Amityville house is up for sale again right now. I would looooove to take a walk thru!
I was just reading that online, it like $1 million or something, but it doesn't look the same though, they've done something to it
Sorry guys. You'll have to wait for Kelly to show up. I can't figure out why it isn't showing up tasks.
No probs thanks Tea Does that mean we get a free pass with points this week then lol
