b) Er… (said very hesitantly) the 4th?

b) Disinterested
c) Fine – so long as we leave the car keys behind when we go out
If you’ve answered:
Mostly A’s – congratulations on your engagement
Mostly B’s – ah, how lovely. The early years of marriage. Reality tempered with optimism and trashy novels…
Mostly C’s – welcome to the club, mate
Don’t forget – hint – that you can vote for Best Dad in the MAD Blog Awards Finals. Best Writer and Best New Blog. Thank you. Now where’s that rope…






Yes, I’m in. 23 years this June. I might buy a card.
Great Quiz!
Mark – this is a fab post – I’ve been happily married 30 years and scored all C’s – no suprise there!! Wishing you and Jane a very Happy Anniversary tomorrow – perhaps your offspring will treat you! x
Hilarious, married for 20 years here too, so I don’t need to tell you my answers! Hope you have a fabulous wedding anniversary.
As it turned out we had a perfect day. Drove Ben down to Kettering for public speaking competition, which his team won. So absolutely lovely day – far better than being in St Lucia. But wife says I can take her there later…
