I love quizzes, but I don't have a clue - maybe if I but a little brain power into it I could come up with an answer or two...but I'm sooooo tired...should be in bed, but I had to babysit for a neighbor tonight, so I'm checking blogs late.
Love your new look! Fancy :)
i know a cookie is a biscuit, a cracker is a crisp, and I for got what other one I know - oh a truck is a Lorry, but I don't know if that is for Trailer trucks. I don't call anything a trailer truck.
I know what suspenders are, but can't think of it.
I can guess on some of those in the other category, but I don't really know. The hair grip might be a barrette.
I don't know if you've noticed that people here have started saying queue instead of line. Like I had to stand in a long queue. But it is also used in computer talk, so not sure whether it bled over from British, or from computerese.
actually, crackers may not be crisps, crisps might be potato chips. but I really should know what crackers are...
oh please tell us the answers!!
Yeah, just tell us. You tease.
Oven cloth is probably an oven mitt. Number plate is maybe a license plate?
I think the face flannel is a wash cloth or warsh cloth like my dad used to say.
