Always a pleasure! We love quizzes! When's the next one?

[Mrs Frugal]

Have you tried these, Ginette - Megaquizzes They are downloadable and drive me mad!! I love the "Invisibles" round where they've removed the flesh from film scenes and you have to guess the film! Excellent fun!!

Trouble is, you spend so much time sitting there scratching your head and saying "ooooh I KNOW that one" that you get absolutely nothing whatsoever done !! My brother (bless him!!) sent me the link a few years ago when there were only 5 or 6 quizzes but they've gone on to produce no end more!! Have fun !!

[Sheilaz]

Thanks, Kate, we always have a quiz for our guests on Christmas Day, so now I have 2 things prepared for Christmas (I've ordered the turkey is the other one).

[Guest]

That's a good idea Sheila.

 

Trouble is, it doesn't help much when I can only tick off things I'm just adding to my list.

 

Still, I think I've finished writing and addressing cards today and I've wrapped up most of the parcels. Good thing as it's last posting day for parcels tomorrow!
