Do I tick it if I would if I could? ;-)
And I'm only 'average' apparently (I missed superior by 3 points!): this'll be because I don't wear either pyjamas OR a nightdress, am given to slang and profanity, and talk for too long on the telephone.
:-D x
Hah!! Superior? Really?
I was HONEST and got a 'poor'!!! Could be the not writing regularly to the in-laws and not liking children and unfortunates that did it!!
xxx
Aha! Now I was honest too and I got 56 - Average! So I beat MM but am not as superior as you Trashy! I bow to your wifely superiority!
Locket xx
Just gone back to check what counted as "superior" and see that Kitty and I got the same score!
Just done Mr Locket as well and as I expected he has come out as very superior with a whopping score of 126 - I knew I had a keeper!!!
70 ...apparently I too as 'superior'. Probably because I couldn't tick many of the questions, such as the one that asked if you 'stocking seams were crooked'. Don't wear the blurry things, but if I did, they would be crooked!!
BTW, I am also a transplanted Antipodean, but of the NZ variety :-)
Cracking up at the donkeys! seriously. I am glad the yarn came in handy, i have been knitting up some market bags as well. did you come up with your own pattern? would love to see a pic! enjoy
I am only average, presumably because I cook breakfast in my pyjamas and I have been known to drink and swear. But I think there should be extra points for honesty! Off to rate the hubby now (who is asleep upstairs - obviously I lost points for that as well ;-)
Um, miserable failure. -3.
Bwa-ha-ha-ha!
I had to steal this for my blog, gave you some linky goodness. Love it.
Wow you are awesome, I was "poor" but that's ok :O)
Her via SITS- you have a fun blog.
Took the test I guess I am superior? 64. Funny questions.
I love the donkeys- can't wait to see pics of them all done.
You are the first superior I've found :) Maybe someday I can work up to not cooking breakfast in my pjs :)
