Jlou things have been ugly ugly ugly...however, i do desire that strawberry! so cute! so I reckon I could manage one week....just have to make up some very big signs and stick them everywhere - so I don't forget! I wish I'd had more time to think about the challenge - I'm better if I can plan things out. Never mind, there's NOvember 2011 to look forward to hee hee

Ok - early heads up for DO-cemeber (credit to Ladybird for this one!)

In DO-cember you commit to DOing something. For example, mine will involve a regular exercise regime which I will commit to DOing on certain days or a minimum amount etc. If you have gone off the rails you might commit to DOing plan for a week or having a Cohens Friendly Christmas...

It's up to you - just something to ponder over the next week and a bit

And yes, we have some ideas lined up for the new year too!!!

Hi, another week free of my no no foods- bought biscuits and lollies so that is 3 strawberries for me.Only problem is I am too dumb on a computer to get them. Tried to follow instructions but alas no joy or strawberries in this case Will think about the Do-cember one. Great idea. Have a great No-vember everyone.Almost finished it.

Jlou....an I still get a strawberry if I start the challenge (and it has been a challenge) on Monday the 29th and do a week from there? Even though it will go into Do-cember? Life is starting to do my head in, and I am trying to get back on plan for a week, but none too successfully.
I'll have a think about something that I will be capable of without burdening me too much for DO-cember - love the idea it's a winner! (AND LETS HOPE I AM TOOOOO!)
Thanks lesley

Hi LB,

You should be cool - I just added three strawberries to mine as I already have one of these - let's see, eh?

Might be more a "character limit" (doh! just re-read, and saw that you had already called that...) Your 100% Cohens Christmas has SO many characters (with each character in a different colour needing about 20 characters just to make ONE ).

For others reading, to make just "Cohens" in alternative Red and Green letters takes ALL of this - using ( instead of [ otherwise you wouldn't see HOW this works :-

(color=green]C(/color](color=red]o(/color](color=green]h(/color](color=red]e(/color](color=green]n(/color](color=red]s(/color].

which then becomes Cohens by putting [ instead of (

How's this instead?

Make "100% Cohens" in Green, and "Christmas" in Red. Should give you back a few hundred characters...
100% Cohens Christmas

(color=green]100% Cohens[/color] (color=red]Christmas[/color]

Just change the ( to [ above for that to work....

Koh

Poo and wee over here too - I was norty and had 2 glasses of wine at a function tonight. One less strawberry for me . I am
Hoping that in the next couple of days I get some news that will have me cracking openy bottle of vintage Moet to celebrate. If so, I will extend the no alcohol into a portion of December as my penance.... But I have not had liquorice!

Bring on DO-cember!

OOOOOOWWWWW a wee friend for Master nearly 4

Thanks koh. I can't recall making it all different colours - I think it was the way it came. I certainly will change it (That 100% Cohens Christmas is my proudest accomplishment - apart from goal of course)
Now to focus on your instructions............

See you in DO-cember.

Least you didn't notice the hips...or are you too polite to mention that??
Or perhaps you have been reading the post "somewhere" about reading facial characteristics?? Big nose = warm heart
