Turning 30 - Quiz time!

Turning 30, I have turned into my Dad and wrote a quiz for my girl friends this afternoon whilst I was waiting for them to turn up! 

A few of my close friends - am so grateful for the people God has put around me! 

There are 30 questions and each question corresponds to that year of my life: 

Some of the questions are rather obscure, and were not so much to see what people knew about me, but were rather to get some comical answers back!  

There were 5 girlies there and the top score was 16, followed by 11.5 and 11. 

When I got home I asked Mark the questions and he got 24.  He has encouraged me to put this on.  How many would you get / guess right?! 

  1. What time was I born (to the nearest hour)? 
  2. What food did my Dad feed me as a baby when I woke up in the night and he assumed I must be hungry? 
  3. What number house did I live at when I was 3?  
  4. ‘Cow biscuits’ were my favourite snack at play school - why did I call them ‘cow biscuits’? 
  5. What did I dress up as in my nursery school Christmas play? 
  6. When I was six, how many Anna’s were in my class at school? (including me) 
  7. What was my favourite sport at school?
  8. Name one country I went on holiday to as a child.  
  9. What bone did I break when I tried to get my diary off my brother when he had stolen it, locked himself in the bathroom and was reading it out loud to me?

  15. Which hollywood star was my number 1 crush as a teenager?
