After the card has been on display for a week, take it and hide it until next year. Then give it again - and again, for years to come. Nothing to do with being a tight wad, more to do with the danger that comes with forgetting
No way id get away with that the card would be all dirty n dusty full of creases & a coffee cup ring

Herself will be distressed.

We used to get a paper from time to time over here, Telegraph, Mail if we could get nothing better.......Morning All.

But since Brexit no Brit papers come over at all.
Don't mind reading the frog ones but I would like a good cryptic crossword to do, frog ones aren't a lot of fun and no one else does cryptics.

I already have a book of Times ones, and even a small Times crossword computer. But TBH the Times ones are beyond me now and I have even slowed down with the Telegraph ones. Either they have got harder or I have got thicker, prolly the latter.Get yourself a book of Telegraph Cryptic Crosswords.
But maybe yes one day when I'm physically too unfit to do stuff.....
Of course I could always pay a sub to the right wing rag on the pooter.... but that goes against my left-of-centre grain!!!
And doing the frog ones improves my vocabulary.

Hey ho, off to start clipping the dog. We have to do it in bursts as none of them really like it.
She is off to the vets for a check up on her ears and eyes this arvo.
Just got the bill from them, €36 for ear drops,, one of the 4 treaments we have to give her. Which explains why the bill was so relatively high.
Still the plum and cinnamon jam is very nice!
Have a good one folks!

What do you consider a "good" one? I do the one in the Daily fail and its not too hard, butthe Times and Telegraph stump me every time.

I'm like you, the Fail one though got tougher a little bit of a whiles before we couldn't get it any more. The Welligraph I usually managed to do, more or less, especially if I put it down and picked it up again every now and then, but the Times is a real sod.
So for me a good one is the Welligraph. Plus there is a website you can go to if all the other help you can get from books like anagram solvers, thesauruses (i!) and dictionaries don't work.
W once bought me a box with about 5 books in it all designed to help solve them and one thing was a book where you could look up words by their length and go through them with just a few letters you had managed to find. Also a book of lists of words under various headings, though I often find myself writing in words that should be on the list and weren't, once the clue is solved.
My parents used to do the one in the Grauniad, I never got that one, and I have heard that the toughest of the lot is in the Listener, but that is not a thing I ever read!
