Thank you so much for the list, Natalie. I had one somewhere, but this is so much handier than hunting down a piece of paper.

Good Idea

Maybe you could do ‘birthstones’ next or ‘astrological signs’ - often people struggle with those, esp. the birthstones people always are asking what month such and such is.

a very comprehensive list Natalie and very handy to have Thankyou
