Before I kick off with this weeks 20 I would like to say everyone is welcome to join in. When we started this weekly quiz it was with the intention of having a bit of fun for everyone be that suffers, Carers or both working together. The scores are what they are and don’t really matter unless you are called Richard and Denise 🤣. In fact you don’t need to post your score, especially if you get a full house 🤣 I pretty much get the lowest score every week but hey ho.
