Yes!!! Can't wait!!! I've got all my reports done, ready to be printed off next week, my timetables are sorted for next term, until some kind soul tells me they don't work, and I have a free day on Thursday to make a start on the first couple! Hurrah!!!!

Well, at the moment it all depends on Virgin Media getting their finger out..... :roll: :roll:
Just had a message that Scurra's Internet has gone down for the second time today and his plans for the grand Advent Puzzle launch at midnight have been scuppered... :evil: :evil: :evil:
Still, we should hopefully still get something before December 1st is through :?

Oh, don't worry Scurra. It can't possibly be December yet anyway. :lol: I'm personally convinced that Christmas must be at least 3 months away... :lol: Don't stress about it, we won't spontaneously combust if they don't appear instantly! ;)

And, with no thanks to VirginMedia :evil: :evil: :lol: the Advent Calendar has now begun.

Please note that there is no answer checking facility this time. Then again, you don't need a password to access this set of puzzles either...

Thank you Scurra, puzzlesetters Oh and Virgin media, number 1 looks good (probably because I haven't started it yet :lol: :lol: )

Well done Scurra. I dread to think what time you got to bed (that is, if you actually got there at all...(poor thing was just getting going at 1am when I went to bed...!)

And just in case anyone is wondering where the puzzle is - try the puzzle page. :lol: :lol:
Guess who couldn't find it :oops: :oops: :oops:

And when you get there click on the number 1. I'm not the only daft one. She who shall remain anonymous unless she confesses too thought that the tree was the puzzle but couldnt print it . No hope for us two is there?

Is there going to be a forum for this set of puzzles? I've got one clue left on Bad Weather (appropriate title by the way!), and I'm totally stumped. What is the protocol for discussion of these ones?

Just sneaked on at work and I'm glad to see I'm ahead of the game by easily FINDING the puzzle. Saved to the computer, so I'll see if I can get a play with it later on.

[OK - two chances of that - slim, and FAT :roll: ]
