OK so here is an offering for March! Apologies in advance if it doesn't print out as I intended - I am hopeless at this sort of thing!

I won't put any hints up just yet, but if you do need them, just ask! :D

How is anyone doing on this puzzle? I am managing to confuse myself and not making much progress so far

Ok, so here are some hints.

1. Each item represents the same thing each time.

2. The first row maybe should have been saved for a special occasion!

Well, I could have dozens of possible answers for these, and no idea what to do with any of them! :?

:evil: Isn't that kind of the point? :lol: (Although the problem is always that getting the right level of "vagueness" for clues is always difficult to judge!)

edit: also, have edited order of second list, hopefully to make it a little easier?

I have been a bit slow jumping on board with these new puzzles - was still getting my head around the Last Hurrah!!
Thanks to Bunny for the new challenges and I have finally got round to solving this month's offering - just in time to celebrate my birthday :lol:
