Welcome to

white-room-quiz2.png

 

In case it looks odd that (@Cleoriff) is posting this and for those of you who are unaware, @Mi-Amigo has a hospital appointment this morning. To make sure there was no delay in Weds quiz questions being posted, this PM was sent to @Cleoriff before I left for the hospital this morning.

All she had to do was post the questions.

 

There are two White Room Quizzes each week - one on Monday and one on Wednesday.

Just a message from me (@Cleoriff) ....I was a bit concerned about posting this. I thought I'd be fiddling around with stars and thinkers :rofl: Not at all. When I opened the PM it was laid out like this...All I had to do was copy and paste it. (so thanks for that Steve. :thumbsup:
