If no one else objects, I'd like to extend this one through the following week and determine a winner by year's end, so that we can start fresh January 1st. If that's okay with everyone else....?

January 1st sounds good to me! :-D
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

Sid, the Kirrin paperboy had aged naturally since the 1950's - The Famous Five however, had not!

It's ok children, I'm just taking the tree to see my friend Mr Woodchipper.
If I could live here on this secret island always and always and always, and never grow up at all, I would be quite happy
