Set me a challenge…
I have cancer, it’s changed my life and my outlook as one would expect. I don’t know what I will want to do when I complete my treatment and am fighting fit again but I do know that I am now officially sick of daytime TV…they just don’t cater for vegetating chemo patients with a limited stay awake time.
So I am looking for your help, I need challenges, things to set my mind to and focus me anywhere but the Jeremy Kyle show.
The challenge can be as obscure, oblique or just plain silly as you like, in fact the crazier the better please!
Just post your challenge in the comments section below…
