oooh, any chance of a suitable pen with number 2 then?

yay! I actually jumped up and down shouting 'It's here!' to an empty house!

Then I looked inside Flippin' 'eck Scurra!!!!

Have received mine this morning!! First reaction was "whoppeeee". Second reaction was "Bang goes todays plans".
Looks very impressive and I'm eager to start. Congratulations to everyone involved.

Eirian if you can find fine-nibbed pens less than 5mm thick tell me where to get them and you can all have one with issue 2

Reason being postage goes up if its over 5mm and we felt an increase in mag size would be preferable to increased postage. I might send you something else to use with the scribble pad if you are very good

Suspected as much. Will pay WHSmith a visit tomorrow I think!

Woo! Yes! Thank you very much
Brilliant job thankyou.

The postman came to me too. Thank you for my lovely gift, I really don't want to write on it in case I can't get it off so I have stuck post its on it.

Happy days! I got mine - and thank you for the mention Scurra and Gill. Im very honoured - but I think I need Eirian to try to get me some braincells at WH Smith too. Im completely stumped but totally hooked.

Well done!!!!!!!!

Scrummy!

But I did have a bit of a prob with the Free Gift. I tried using a Berol Colourpen and the ink didn't seem to hold very well when I was writing - perhaps I was trying to make the letters too small?

I can recommend a staedtler triplus fineliner

I like the way Gill and Scurra actually expect one of us to finish it in the first place

I'm confused by the letter - it tells us to PM Scurra, whereas in the puzzle book it tells us to send the answer to editor @puzzlebrains.co.uk, presumably as an e-mail. Which is the right one?
I think we should know in case two people get the final answer and one PMs but the other e-mails. It wouldn't be fair if the e-mailer was the winner but the PMer sent the message first.

Well, since both would be time-stamped, it wouldn't be hard to work out which arrived first. Preference would be given to the email to editor though, as that's what it says in the magazine.
