    Hello everyone

    Pop quiz was really good our team came 3rd which isnt bad as there were 14 teams. Some of the teams names were really great

    Team names

    Gin'll fix it
    Norfolk in Good
    Ken Dod's Dad's Dog's Dead

    We had one of those air horn thingies as a buzzer and the IT techies thought it would be fun to set one off and light it with a gas lighter:rolleyes: Knob heads.

    Didnt win any of the cash prizes though......someone won £100:eek:

    .....................OH drank the rest of my bottle of wine which I was saving for tonight as I drove to the work do......having to make do with a cup of tea

    have fun NAGH.

    I'm contemplating whether to have anything to eat. It seems a shame to mucky up the dishes when there isn't any washing up, but I do fancy something.

    Sweet and Sour chicken balls keeps coming into my head........

    I have just ordered a pizza and OH has ordered a "killer Kebab" for him and his friend to share when they get in from the pub.:o

    I know........sigh.........but it's sweet and sour chicken balls with egg fried rice.........sigh........:o


    I must get around to spending the £25 voucher AQA sent me. Undecided where to 'cash it' in though and whether to get a couple of pressies for Christmas or just buy a load of knickers - something I need!!!

    (not that I'm saying I'm not wearing any currently - just to clear up any presumptions!)
