You can join in by writing a post with your answers and tag it #FibbingFriday.

Bear in mind though that pingbacks and comments are approved manually, so don’t be surprised if the link doesn’t show immediately as I may be late accessing my blog.

Can you tell a story in………….. 15th January

38 words using the following words in it somewhere:

  • CHAMPAGNE
  • TOWER
  • OVERDRAWN
  • DIPLOMA
