It's a trip!: Just when I thought I had it all figured out....

Just when I thought I had it all figured out....

...I go and take this test. I've only lived over here in England for 6 years now, you'd like I could get some of these right! I've only ever heard one of these words used...

Julie said...: I guessed and got a couple as well, but the only one I'd ever heard was 'mardy'. It's amazing---after all this time I'm still trying to figure stuff out.; Fri Apr 29, 11:48:00 AM GMT+1

Anyway, I took the test and I scored five of five. Some I knew, and others were luck.; Fri Apr 29, 09:43:00 PM GMT+1

Julie said...: Lora and Heather---you guys did a great job! They really use some strange expressions over here...

Lora, how did you end up over here?; Sat Apr 30, 07:10:00 PM GMT+1
