Just saw we're paired for get pushed this week -- fun! I'll try to have your challenge ready by tomorrow. It won't be easy -- you've already done so much. Is there something you've been wanting to work on that you want me to keep in mind? Otherwise, I happily will create something.

[Sally Ings]

@taffy lol, I saw that we are paired and have been running ideas through my head all day! I think I'm game for most things (although people don't fit very high on my list!). Do you have any pet hates, things I should steer clear off?

[Taffy]

@salza Haha!! The only thing I truly hate -- and just did one so am not up for it again anytime soon -- is a selfie! Other than that, I'm pretty open. I'll come up with something for you without any people in it!

[Sally Ings]

@taffy a selfie wouldn't even have crossed my mind as it is a pet hate of mine too!! :-)
I think I have narrowed down my ideas, so I shall sleep on it and post my challenge on the morrow

[Al Bailey]

[Veena Gupta]
