Hi everyone!

I have decided (potentially against my better judgement) to attempt to run a halloween themed sheep!

For the newbies: The aim of Sheep is to guess the most popular answer to the below questions. Google is permitted for sheep.

Send me an un-numbered list with your answers!

1. Name a horror movie
2. Name a horror character
3. Name a horror movie theme song
4. Name a children's Halloween movie
5. Name a popular Halloween costume
6. Name a game played at Halloween parties
7. Name something you'd get while trick or treating
8. Name a song played at Halloween parties
9. Name a trick you could play if you didn't get a treat!
10. Name a horror book.

Will provisionally run this one on Monday evening (November 2nd) depending on entries.

Will kick things off around 8pm so will accept sign ups up until 6:30pm (so I have time to figure out what I'm doing!)

Actually last weeks class was a bit of a mess for me.
I had the brainwave to take the class(its online) in the car, away from the kids, have a coffee & chill.
I end up needing to go toilet after about 1.5hrs & had to drive off. Then needed to get petrol. The petrol station was closed, so had to drive to another station.
Basically was on a road trip for half the video call. I think tomorrow i should stay home & focus on the call!

If you focus and do this weeks call tomorrow, does that not free you up for the Monday night reveal?
