Thank you. Hope you have a nice time with your son,but remember the closing date is fast approaching. Good luck

Thank you James, this is the usual for me, after spending a lot of time doing the crossword and towards the end my brain starts to let me down, so most of the time when it gets like that l either just stop and give up for another time or just put the question on here to ask for help.
Weather is colder today but the sun is high and very watery, so providing people wrap up the day would be very nice. ttfn
