Oh darn, I thought I may slip colloquial abbreviations in there, I will have to think hard, hopefully if I start to do it, I may be able to get in to the mode and write a full story. Phew that was some feat of concentration ;)

Nope. No abbreviations. :p Sorry. Rules are rules. :p
It's not supposed to be easy, yaknow ;P

Phew, ok, here we have it, a story with no -ings

A nice jolly story ;) - Suicide By Degrees

I'll give it a read soon and keep my eyes peeled for any abbreviations! >;P

Yepp. The title sure sounds jolly! More scary!
