Carry On Tuesday # 94

Ok, you win! I have to say I was surprised by the response I received to my threat to remove COT from the blogosphere! I had comments here on the site, facebook messages, emails and phone calls begging for mercy! Even so, we only had a few extra contributors last week, but in the circumstances I will consider Carry On Tuesday to have been saved by the bell, hence this week’s prompt! Please COT fans, don’t let me down!

Carry On tuesday # 93

It’s sink or swim for Carry On Tuesday this week. There was a time when around thirty folk joined in each week, but just recently our numbers have dwindled quite dramatically.

Coming up with a weekly sentence or phrase entails a lot of work – far more than that of the prompt sites that simply come up with nothing more than a single word. Carry On Tuesday Plus also consumes an enormous amount of time and often many hours of research.

I’ll see how it goes this week, but unless we get a far greater take-up than in recent weeks, I’ll be knocking on the head!
