Check it out!!



I've completely given up trying to hide the fact that I AM a total nerd, along with the fact I work in eMarketing, love pottery and Time Team, I also ADORE the Saturday Times Jumbo Crossword. SPECIFICALLY the Saturday Times Jumbo Crossword. It's big, it's intelligent and the answers come out 2 weeks after it's printed.
I'm yet to completely finish one, although I've practiced a LOT. I'm so excited at how far through I got this week, and I'd done all of this in 3 days!!
Check it out!!
And, because I'm a total dork, these are the rules I play by:
  1. I do the clues at the bottom of the page, not the cryptic ones at the top
  2. Completed clues are neatly crossed out
  3. I cannot use the Internet or ask for help (this is of course cheating)
  4. If I get to the point where I absolutely HAVE to cheat, cheated question is marked by being circled (to remind myself that there is no glory in finishing the crossword if I've cheated)
  5. If an answer is put in, and later found to be incorrect, that's basically the end of the game

I'm so excited because I finished this much with one TWO cheat questions!!! I'm somewhat ashamed that I despited my literary tendencies in High School, I didn't know King Lear's daughters name, but I wont forget it now.

It's a bit hard to see, but if you click on the image above, it should open a larger image (input on any missing answers appreciated)

Hi Anna, it's official ... I now know why you do so well at Trivial Pursuit and Pub Quiz. I'm on your team next! I didn't the name of King Lear's daughter but I'm getting increasingly an expert in baby distraction! Also now he is sitting on my lab while I'm typing with pne hand - another new skill. Oh - and I have up-dated my blog today. Hope to also post a video I have done with pictures of Seb. A pretty good "school project" I think! See for your self! Cheers Naja
