OOPS! I NEARLY FORGOT

Aside

It’s a temptation when blogging to be constantly thinking of the next post and forgetting what has gone before. However this morning whilst eating breakfast in bed, watching the news on TV and catching up with last week’s papers before the next deluge of massacred trees I remembered. I had Quoted 17 sayings and 17 names to see if anyone could match then correctly. Here they are again, below some successful contestants.

Z guessed that 12 wrote O

Amy guessed that 6 wrote E

Sim guessed that 15 wrote K

Sim also guessed that 14 wrote J

F was written by 7
