14: M2T

I am pretty crap.

tamum · 14/02/2006 19:48

dejags, I think she was Mum2Toby first, and then abbreviated it to M2T. Might be wrong though....

galaxy - I have to say I didn't know the answer until I started "digging" for the quiz!

You've been around loads longer than me - a far more "proper" mumsnetter

Oh I have favourites Rickman, I am in fact totally obsessed with hunker. In fact, I am sitting in a car outside her house just now typing on my laptop....

(Actually I shouldn't joke like that, I might give her the heebiejeebies!)

Honest answer is that I compiled the quiz over a few weeks and didn't review it before I posted it this morning so I didn't notice how many people came up more than once!

I knew it too galaxy.
I stated the answers but got distracted (pesky kids) and by the time I came back it would have looked like I was cheating so I didn't post.
