I seem to have run into a mental block. I started this week's quiz with such gusto, But I have come to a grinding halt. I still need 22 questions for the birthday quiz on Thursday including the Picture Round and the Guest Round which this week is Who Am I? five clues to a famous person. And therein lies the problem, I can't think which celebrity to pick. I want to get as much done today and tomorrow because I've got a busy day Wednesday. I've a job on in the morning, shopping with mother in the afternoon (always an interesting experience) and I've got an appointment at the doctor's later to get my cholesterol results. Ergo, I don't want to wake up Thursday morning with too much to do. Hope to see you all on Thursday possibly with some questions you would like to see in the Birthday blog on Friday. quizard_97@yahoo.co.uk between now and then if you have any questions or comments.
