Yes, it is actually Tuesday here again, but most of you should still be in Monday, with luck!

I had a bit of a crazy start to my day today - went to get some cold meat out of the fridge to make lunch to take to the office, and two cans of soda at the back decided to drop down a row (the fridge was packed as shopping was yesterday) when the container I was pulling out dragged the shelf out a bit. Not much in that, but then suddenly I have coke fizzing all over the inside back of my fridge! Unloaded the shelf to pull it out and dump in the sink, when I realise a can of Sprite has followed suit, so I grabbed it to chuck in the sink too, but it lands with the hole facing upward and next thing I have a fountain of Sprite pi$$ing all over my kitchen! It took me an hour to clean it all up and replace everything back in the fridge, plus I was covered in Sprite droplets too... I made the instant decision not to go into the office, but to work from home instead, as I needed to clean myself as well, and my commute time was GONE. Nor had I even made lunch... *sigh*

Anyway, aside from that, the week's been going OK. Yesterday I made the rest of the icons I had hoped to do for the Drabble/Icon challenge, which finished on Saturday! WOOT! I didn't get time to post them last night but hopefully will do so tonight or tomorrow. I hope those of you participating enjoyed all of Angel's great prompts, and managed to complete what you hoped to do! Everyone else, I hope you enjoyed the fills!

Now, technically the new challenge from Sept 1st is Give it a Whirl, run by the lovely flipflop_diva, and ably assisted by kitmerlot1213, but as I forgot who was on and therefore didn't remind them (to be fair, I was away from home last week!), I take all the blame for things not getting underway yet. If either of you two wonderful people are watching, please talk together and kick us off when you're ready! If you or anyone else wants to know how this challenge works, check out this entry from the last time we did it! Sorry I didn't get onto this reminder earlier, my dear hosts, and that this is a post-reminder rather than a message! No blame, no foul, to either of you!

Let's see, what else have we got? All the usual daily and weekly things have been happening, so check out the tags or scroll back to see all the wonderful prompts that have been left for you by our regular contributors. SHOUT OUT to all of you! I LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS BAR!!!

Big Buddies, it's early days, but you're looking at something like 10% of your monthly goal in the next 24 hours. You have PLENTY of time to make it up if you're behind. If not, GO, YOU! YOU ARE AWESOME!

Your flash challenge for this week is: THAT was unexpected! Go forth, write or otherwise create something wonderful with that; link us so we can all congratulate you on adding words!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAY!

Finally, I will just say PLEASE UPDATE YOUR NUMBERS if you haven't already! You have a few extra days to do this, as I don't think I will get to counting until the weekend. I am very excited to see how we're doing now we are down to the last quarter of 2024, so be sure to get your counts up to date so you'll be counted! WOOT!

Now, let's be creative out there! ;-)

I managed to make more icons! Woot! I am very happy with these, which you can see here, if you are interested!
