Done mine - good luck everyone !!!!!

Oh no, thought answers were due by tonight and I've missed it.
*stamps foot and cries*

@Pennyforthem I also thought they were due tonight, just checked, but as I submitted mine days ago I am O.K. I'm sure if you bung them in now SD won;t mind, after all she hasn't posted the answers yet and with a bit of luck she will be too busy nursing a hangover from her mum's party to notice,

Re: Need a few good vibes - and taking a 2 week 'sabbatical'
by Silverdarling » 24 Nov 2013, 18:34

Decided to take two weeks away from the forum, while things get sorted at work. I know roughly what will probably occur in the next 2 weeks, and want to give myself some thinking time, and be ready for it. Life has come at me pell-mell the past couple of weeks, and I need a bit of downtime.

Crimble quiz still ongoing, and I will put up the next two rounds, to keep you going may get the chance to put up answers but may not, it depends what happens at work tomorrow. But the suspense will do you good and I promise to pick things up in a couple of weeks, once things have calmed down.

Hasta la vista!

Sorry @Silverdarling, I'm going to miss out on round 2.

Good luck for tomorrow
