lol you two. After a little thought I may just shoot this idea for the film challenge as I reckon it might score well (and will be work safe - honest)

Looking at your recent 'streak' you'll probably need some feathers too!

I've just realized that I'll be away on the day(s) following the rollover of the May Challenge.

Would you please PM me to remind me, Ecce S? I can still make good on my 'bet'... just will need a reminder since I might not have internet. :)

Many thanks

Cam, have added you to the list :)

And don't worry

lydiatoo, win or lose I'll be sure to let you know ;)

I've decided to do a time lapse of my FS shoot but sadly the battery ran out around 400 images so have missed a (fun) bit. The vid will be well worth your forfeit peeps ;)

Hey, don't worry, went with a sock rather than tennis ball and used rubber gloves (most of the time).

If you would like to Juliet you'd be more than welcome! The ten limit was really just for my forfeit (Â£100) but since I'll most likely ribbon, hey, the more the merrier :)

You might as well count me in as well Andi...unlike all the others, who seem good at the trash talkin', I don't even have an idea for a shot but someone told me I should at least try ;o) So, does that make me No.14?!

This doesn't count as our H2H though, I've got a great forfeit for you when we get round to doing it! ;o)

A wonderful idea. I see you filled up or I would join the fracas.

Congratulations on your creativity and your generosity. What an excellent example for us all.

not being one to admit defeat, what the best way of paying into the charity fund in the HUGELY unlikely event that you beat me.

paypal, credit card, cheque or cash?

If you go to Our Justgiving page you can make a donation with a credit or debit card and their is a box where you can put your name....thats any name you choose Juliet ;o) If that's not convenient just get in touch with Andi or myself and we'll sort out a cheque/cash/paypal arrangement :o)
