Right, to celebrate getting nearer to 3,000 posts I am having a mini competition. If you guess the day and the nearest hour to when I post my 3,000 post then you will win a little parcel from Swirlyarts goodies.

So I need the date and the hour you think I will get to 3,000 posts. Get thinking!

I think you will need to have a 'closing date' for entries... otherwise the later people guess, the easier it might be for them!!!

That's a very good point - I'll say closing date is the 19th (tomorrow) at 10pm. That should give people plenty of time to enter :D

This has been worked out very scientifically (I had to use a calculator, a calendar and a cup of tea hehehe!)

My guess is Tuesday 6 November at 3pm :pc:

I will take a totally scientific guess here. 1st November at 11.55am (totally scientific as that is my sons birthday and the time he was born at).

Cheers.

Hmm - remote parenting when they are at university might work. Doing it when they are this young won't.

I'm having enough trouble controlling my home PC from where I am, never mind trying to control the children!

Well I'm afraid I won't be posting too much today as I'm off out for the day - I will be back this evening though when I can post in between sewing!! You'll just have to make sure that you write lots of exciting things so that when I come back I just have to respond to you all :D
P.S. Comments about how nice I am would be good :D

Hehehe - quoting myself here!
Just to give an update on where we are upto.... at this moment in time (and I think she's off line) Swirly is approx 8 posts off the BIG ONE! So... its looking like Deezcatz is going to be getting very close....:mf: Failing that, its Sommerwood and Caketopper next in line.

The rest of us - what were we thinking??!! Swirly is a prolifick (hehehe!) poster and unless there was a powercut in East Lancs or severe battery failure we were off our rockers!!:pc:

Still, its the taking part that counts! :first:
