Millenium

[Georgia05]

that should of course read 'Millennium'

[johnsmemory]

Thanks, and thanks Twirls for putting me right on 7d.

But please explain millennium?

[Lie-in King]

Millennium - 'in' (home) + 'Nell' + i (one) (all back) (in) 'mum'

[Twirls]

Mum on the outside with Nell for orphan, In for home and 1 for one. Over (to me) means back to front so i llen ni

Hope that helps
