Mrs Frugal Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 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 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 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!
