The ESP Trivia Challenge for June was won by Sabriel with a very impressive 183 points – well done Sabriel! A big box of choccies will be winging their way to you this week.

A brand new tournament has now started for July, so get your brains working and have a go. There’s a new set of questions every day in July, so the more often you play, the more chances you have of winning the monthly tournament. To have a go just visit the ESP Trivia Challenge

The big posting competition is upon us, the race is now on for the member who makes the 10,000th post. As with all our competitions, it is open to every one of our members and it doesn’t matter if it’s your 1st post or your 1500th post. Just get posting and see if you can win our huge box of choccies, for details just visit the 10,000 post thread.

We also have our weekly caption competition in the competition section, where you can win a pen, key-ring or fridge magnet. We will post a new photo every week and you just have to come up with an amusing caption – easy-peasy.

Graham has spent a bit of time this week setting up the Awards Gallery for all our winners, so take a look here and if you’re lucky too you could be up there.

Graham has also spent quite a bit of time setting up a sister site for ESP, imaginatively called ESP2 lol.

He has done this as ESP seems to be sprouting arms and legs and we wanted a place for you to put faces to names. This is where all you mums, dads, uncles, aunts and grandparents can post photos of yourselves.

As it’s a separate board, I’m afraid you will need to register again to log in, but it’s completely free and only takes a minute, please use the same user name as you use on the main board so we don’t get confused.

We have great plans for ESP2, so keep visiting as I’m sure it won’t be long before it starts to fill up too.

For a bit of fun, we have started to celebrate all those little milestones in your membership of ESP, so if you’ve been a member for a month, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 months we’ll be posting your name up in the Celebrations Section.

Remember to post all your birthdays and special occasions in the Calendar

This week we will be celebrating Cernskaz’s Birthday on Wednesday the 5th July.

Sabriels hen party in Blackpool is today, so have fun Sabriel, can’t wait to see the photos.

This week is Metabolic Disease Awareness Week and Twins Triplets and More Week.

We will also be helping our friends in the States celebrate Independence Day on Tuesday 4th July.

Add all your hints and tips for other parents and carers, we already have some great tips on recipes and bums, but we can never have too many hints and tips. We would especially like to see more tips on things to keep kids of all ages amused over the long summer holidays, as I’m sure we are all familiar with the “mummmmmmmmmm, I’m bored” syndrome lol.

If you have any hints or comments on holidays, please post them here, and also tips on claiming benefits or support agencies we would also welcome those too.

If you’re having any technical difficulties with the site please let us know. We have tutorials on how to upload, resize and post your photos, as well as avatars and signatures and other technical difficulties you may have.

But if you’re stuck you can always reach us by email to wiccababe or GBro or on MSN messenger using wiccababe@btopenworld.com

Have a great week everyone
