Every Wednesday [now known as Chance Wednesday]  I shall run the 'Take A Chance' Section of the blog  (or a bit of fun). You can only enter if you read the following*:

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me

Now, while singing or humming in head, choose a number from 1-20 (don't look below until you have chosen) and then just do it*!
