Get Smarter in A Week

[MadDogs]

Check out BBC 1 on Sat 11th March to see show called 'Get Smarter In A Week'.
I'm one of the 100 people test group and its very fascinating!
We were all tested on Friday (on line) for Creativity, Memory, Spacial Awareness (never could reverse park!) and AlpaNumeric skills.
Since Sat we've been following a programme of recipes, activities, puzzles, online tests and games (all fun - not like school at all!), doing new hobbies, counting the numbers of road signs on the way to work, making up stories about people that pass you in the street, etc, etc.
I can CERTAINLY recommend it - I feel like a bouncy tigger this week!
They reckon that even just doing a crossword/soduko/countdown every day can help + eating things like oily fish, etc.
Watch BBC 1 on 11th March to see how marvellous we have all become!
now.. what to wear for my TV appearance.... :shock:

Yup - they kept scanning over us on the long shots then on the last (4th) section they read out the top 3 in that bit - and mis-pronounced my name as Jeannie rather than Jennie (ooh my mother will be cross!).
So that's my 5 mins of fame for this year (previous outings have included 'Wheel of Fortune'!!)
Did you solve your glass hinging problem?

[Seahorse]

Oh I missed seeing you then.


Not yet.I thought id found hole free hinges by MM last week but havnt been able to find them since.
I experimented by using one of their snaps and glueing it to a bit of glass.
It holds well, so if I can find some hole free hinges I may give it a go.
