S'alright, you did it the quick way.

I have cut and pasted them into word so that I can sort the blummin answers out . Probably all in a totally different order to yours too. Oh and cod broke my spell checker

And the poster who gets the mosr correct answers will be awarded a phd in mumsnetting.

SlightlyMadSlug · 11/04/2007 19:23

What about me [hump]

I feel bullied you know.

I basically cut and pasted them to word too (via a MN message box to filter out the smilies and icons) so they should be in the same order I think (at least on the 1st list I posted).

I can't gurantee I havn't inadvertantly deleted any Qs tho as I tried to delete the 'chit chat' as I went as well as the posters IDs.

Flumpybumpy · 11/04/2007 19:28

Don't know the answer to any of them

I thought I lingered on MN for ages but clearly not enough or I would at least know one answer!
