Hello everyone. I am new to this site but would like to wish you all a Happy New Year!
Happy new year everyone!
Happy New Year everyone xx
Hi All. Apologies for the issue with yesterday’s game not updating at 11am on 28 December. I was taking a day off and due to system issues the game didn’t update automatically. Everyone who has submitted an answer (any answer) or has been taking part in the game will receive the points for that day. Apologies once again and hope you have all had a good Christmas! Good Luck, Daniel.
Hi Daniel, everyone is allowed a day off once a year. I hope you had a very good Christmas and I wish you all the very best for the coming year. Also very good wishes for the new year to all on Free Birthday Lottery.
Hi Daniel, I think like Gillian that you totally deserved a day off and thought you would give us the points anyway. Those gremlins do like having a little fun with you don’t they 😉 I how you had a lovely Christmas and how you have a better new year. Thank you for keeping us informed and all your hard work keeping the site going. I think i speak for most of us we do truly appreciate it
A day off!!
How very dare you!
Hope you enjoyed it and what does it matter in the grand scheme of things.
Wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous New year xx
I put the same answer as the day before as even at 11:30pm the same question was showing, but the answer for the 28th is showing different? That question was not there yesterday.
Same here
I did the same as you, didn’t see the question either. Still, not to worry, more than enough of that to do at the moment.
x
Still the same question as 26th @2.07am on the 29th
9.50pm and still on yesterday’s question. As others have suggested I’ll put yesterday’s answer as I won’t get chance to check again now.
I did the same as you and others but noticed the question and answer has been changed via the results today, must have been a glitch on the computer because it definitely didn’t change questions for me. At least we’ll get a point, but knowing Daniel he’ll accept our answers.
I wonder if Daniel is even aware as he usually comments and the answer usually says yesterdays is acceptable. Hopefully he’ll see these comments next time he’s online. 👍
ditto Heather10
I’m going to put the same answer as I will probably forget to check back later
still yesterdays question at 3.17 pm
just put same as yesterdays , we’ll still get full points
Yep, thats what I have done.
I answered this question yesterday
I would still answer it as you will still get scored on it. check back again later to see if it has changed
Still the same one as yesterday , will check back later . Hope everyone had a good Christmas ?
When will day 28 question come up today
put yesterday’s answer again as no update yet
Today’s question is a bit obscure, I don’t really remember it.
Hi Daniel,
I just put Figgy, as it asked what pudding?
Hi Stuart – Yes, that is correct. Good Luck, Daniel.
I should know it, at the time it was released my next door neighbour played it continually. I was always banging on the wall for them to turn it down.
That comment zapped me right back to my childhood. I used to think my parents were the only people who banged on walls when music was too loud but over the years I’ve discovered it was almost universal! 😁
I didn’t get on with them to start with! They were always playing loud music and one night, I was up late watching a snooker final and there was some cheering on and they had the nerve to knock on my wall!
Daniel, I hit return to start another line but it sent instead with only 3 words . I’ve sent again with all six on 1 line . Do accept my second attempt. Please.
I’ve only sent three words. I thought the first line WAS only three words! The song certainly pauses at that point, so it sounds like the end of the line. Hope it is enough!
Daniel,
I’m getting an impression you like Home Alone 😃
I think that should read ‘gave’, not ‘have’???
Hi Aileen. Well spotted. Good Luck, Daniel
The correct spelling of yesterday’s in Dicken’s novel is Ebenezer, is that accepted as well?
Hi Jackie. Yes, that is accepted. As long as it is clear what the answer is then that will be accepted. The correct spelling is essential for anagram games and missing letters, but for quiz questions the spelling isn’t as important. Good Luck, Daniel.
Thanks Daniel!
when will day 28 come up today
when will day 28 come up today competition
Should i put yesterday answer in again for today competition or will day 28 question come up soon.

Hi Heather10. Sorry, can only accept the one correct answer on this one. You’ll still get one entry for that day though. Good Luck, Daniel
My favourite Christmas carol/hymn today 😄
