Thank you so much for all the books of crosswords and puzzles. When they arrive in the mail it is a dash to see who will start them first.

We photocopy the competitions and all the family work on them.  My son particularly likes the cryptic and my husband does the pop words.

I get to finish them all off. If I don’t know the answers then I phone my sister to swap answers. If she doesn’t know then I pass them on to my father-in-law and they are usually finished off.

I just need to leave myself enough time to write them all out because they are actually mine (my name is on the envelope).

We really get into it all and see how quickly we can get them done.  It is so much fun – we can hardly wait for the next issue.  Then once the competitions have been posted we have the other crosswords to do.
