Not me - I'm working really hard on issue three right now... :D

One of the downsides of a bimonthly is that this is likely to happen - four weeks might not be quite long enough to get everything done, but eight weeks usually is. And since that's the case for me as a setter as well, you're not likely to see us go monthly in the near future. (Although my personal feeling is that the future is probably either monthly or closing down! But that's a long way ahead right now.)

I'm currently working on some other stop-gap options too to try and fill in those empty weeks. Keep your eyes open... :wink:

That should, of course, have read:
"...either monthly or world domination..."

I didn't mean it as any sort of criticism, or suggestion that you should change to monthly publication (we can't have you having a nervous break-down and leaving us without a magazine at all!).

I just need to plan my strategy better. This time I jumped in thinking 'I've got to get it done, I might be the first!!! (fat chance!). Next time I think I'm going to try and pace myself a little, and not race to get it all done. Maybe save some for when I'm really bored like today.

I've not finished this yet. I'm either pacing myself or too thick to finish it! :D

Or you could be takinng it very steadily so that your mind absorbs every possible piece of information it can as to how Scurra's mind works :D

I had to resort in doing puzzles from the All star puzzle site (nothing like our beloved puzzle brains or the other one), but then daughter got the da vinic code PS2 game. I have been cracking codes in between doing the housework and trying to wrap presents before various people walk into the room and see what they have. I'm off to crack the next cyptogram (daughter can't do them at all, Oh the power :twisted: :twisted: )

Think yourself lucky. My brain doesn't work at all! :lol:

Scurra, you mustn't even entertain the idea of closing down. Nervous breakdown or not, we need your puzzles! :D

I'm a bored procrastinator. I have my thesis proposal due Jan 1 and just can't bring myself to write it. I have a crossword to sort out and can't seem to find the time when all I have is time.

My list of things to do is empty (except for those two things) and I have nothing to do....

But I'm feeling much better :lol:
