Emma wrote: "Lol okay great! Do want to just wait for tomorrow to scheme the quiz?"That's fine, or we could do it tonight, because I never seem to be able to get on here until at least 10 o'clock in the morning, sometimes later, and that would mean people would have to wait in suspense. If you have time tonight, I'll be on and off for a little bit.
