thanks vegasmaid I couldn't get eyelids, mercury for this answer out of my head so was completely sidetracked.

[teacher1946]

Ooops! Sorry. Didn't read that you only wanted a hint.

[elcee45]

Thanks teacher got the first clue now it rhymes with tumbles :)

[vegasmad]

Sorry, I didn't spot that you only wanted hints either. I'll pay more attention next time!

[teacher1946]

Is that crumbles then ?....... didn't know what the quiz was

[elcee45]

Vegasmaid, I was a bit wary asking for answers as some have got really slated for asking, so took the 'give us a clue' option :)) Thanks anyway I have completed it now, fancy getting stuck on the very first 2 questions. LOL

[elcee45]

Yes teacher, see my above reply to Vegasmaid. It was all rhyming answers, an excellent quiz.

[elcee45]

Sorry Vegasmad I had you a maid twice there :)) This old age does not come itself!
