How many of the 45 have you actually done by yourself? I know we all ask for help from time to time and i dont mind helping as long as i think someone has tried.I finished this quiz,it isn't one of their hardest.Lets all make a New Years resolution...must try more

[Mamyalynne]

Please don't be sorry quinie, no one is to know unless the OP puts details. I got the quiz in the post Saturday and did it Sunday and is in the envelope.

I only point it out to make others aware, I realise is a Q&A ste. :-)

And the other one you are asking loads on and just calling who wrote it is the new shoots quiz and that doesnt end till February either and there are only 45 questions in it. Surely if you send it in and then look at the answers you will learn how a setter thinks

Ask away 17071948. Ignore the miseries. It's normally about this time of year that they get visited by 3 ghosts.

Sorry I was confused as you are also asking the oxfam quiz now I realise this is new shoots
and yes squarebear some of us would still like people to try a little harder when I first started new shoots I could do about 4 but you dont learn by letting someone else answer them all for you

[squarebear]

Who said they wanted to learn? I don't see the OP saying that. They want answers to questions and that is what the site is all about.

[smouse]

but why ask when they say they are not sending it in whats the point in that
