Are you a nerd who cannot resist a quiz? Are you in need of a productivity-killer to waste the rest of your day on? If so, read on...

At risk of sounding v ungrateful - MIL gave me a book of literary crosswords* and it's not my thing at all. If it's your kind of thing let me know and I can post it to you - as would far rather it got some use/enjoyment than none at all.






*improvement on boxes of cat food but hey ho...

If not - I'll give it to the charity shop.

Marvellous - shall post it to you :-) - am really glad it's going to a good home where it'll be enjoyed as opposed to not.

And yes she used to send me boxes of cat food for xmas and birthdays.

That's got to be the most mental present I've ever heard of!

I like a good pun, but some of those are dreadful.
