Glad your feeling better Heather and surgery went well! Lorna it's been amazing getting to know all you guys and so happy your out your funk...., you have definitely helped me through homeschooling and isolation (kids have been in school 10 days since challenge started...) It's Been keeping me sane. Hahaha..... So I'm grateful to go into a new challenge with a few of you xxxx
Thanks Melinda for letting me know. It'll be my first time taking part in the TT challenge and I hope to have as much fun as I had with UNO.Uno was also something to keep me sane somehow during a very difficult time, working with people that might or might not have Covid-19 and going back home to look after a 4 and a 1 year old and nobody other than my husband to help while both of us having to work full time. It was not easy and I am just so glad to have put, hopefully the worst behing me.

Heather, this book fits "author's name begins with E", so I put it there.
UNO was also my support group especially when the covid-craziness set in. :)Also it's awesome that you all stuck to the game. Quite a few of other teams were/are struggling with people withdrewing or simply disappearing without a word.
I'm on TT Team Rob Anybody - I need to pick these books up - they sound very unique.

4 stars - not overwhelmed, but a good story history of what it's like to be raised by a good mother despite many, many other kids (10!) without great wealth.
Me too so confused... The writing story one has stumped me....
No worries, the captains will take it in hand. :) Just read your books and enjoy it. You'll get the hang of it soon once it starts.
