Well I've done it but I never watch any of those programmes or read about celebrities so 3 would be a great score

Did not know any of the babies.

Lynn - for the first time ever I decided to do the quiz but I have just lost my answers - I am gutted - hopefully I will get a chance to redo it.

I hope it goes well - I did struggle with a few but it is a good quiz.

purplelynn · 10-01-2010, 12:54 PM

purplelynn · 10-01-2010, 08:14 PM
