*Spot Supper:
Welcome to M, although not a new member, she hasn’t posted much until recently, so has introduced herself in Spot Supper this week; if you have yet to introduce yourself to the board, there is a profile template to help you get over any initial shyness, and you can be assured of a warm welcome there. There is also a birthday list, to which you can be added if you PM a SS mod.
This week we extend birthday greetings to Ray, who will be celebrating in the coming week, and wish you a great day!

If you’d like anything included in next week’s edition, or we missed out anything on this week’s edition, just send one of us a PM. See you next Sunday! Abbeybufo & Fatima.

Welcome to this week's digest. Now that December's here, Secret Santa has been very busy (although not busy in that way!) and there's a decidedly festive feeling on the board. Should you wish to post thanks to your Santa, there's a thank you thread where you can do just that. And the other thank yous might inspire you with regard to your own Santee! There's also Seasonal Word Association, a Christmas Quiz and a link to a fun advent calendar to keep your procrastination levels high in this approach to the holiday season.

*Formal Discussions:
This week we are talking about Real Books in the Chalet School: FH Burnett and Friendship: The Two Sams. We hope that you will join in with the discussion; it's always great to hear the opinions of all our members, both old and new!
