I don't actually need any help this week. This is a short message to all my helpers and guides over the months. I have promised SWMBO that my Lenten "sacrifice" is that I'll give up crosswords for the period. As she says, it will be harder than sweets ( no problem) or alcohol ( wouldn't mean anything) so, I've agreed with her that that is what I'll do. Tough lady SWMBO, as you know!
If I can help anybody tonight then I'll be glad to try.
But if nobody needs help, I'll be back after Easter in need of a fast fix!!!

I am both startled and full of admiration at the same time, your discipline astounds me Steven.

The break will serve to make you even hungrier when you return to the fold.

Rather you than me Steven! I'd go potty without my crosswords. Good luck.

[Lie-in King]

A sacrifice indeed! Still, we must presume that SWMBO knows best...

See you after your break, Steven :-)

[elliemay1]

And what is SWMBO giving up?? Doing crosswords is so good for the brain. Are you sure that's what you want to do?

[stevenj]

She'll be giving up her glasses of wine with supper and after. And she'll be helping at the hostel fo homeless people. So she's OK I think. I think I might go potty without my crossword! Which is why she suggested it. Not me going potty but because it WILL mean something. And thank you to Mamyalynne and Lie-in King. Think of me....see you after Easter. If I stay the course!

[stevenj]
