Phew what a whopper! A jumbo crossword to distract you from other, more important things that you should be doing ;)

My goodness!

I can't wait to hear Matron's comments when she sees the size of that one!

Unfortunately for me, I'm deeply involved in pickling onions for Christmas and unless I'm to chop off my fingers in the process will have to let it wait awhile.

Looking forward to it!

Quite right Wendy, you don't want to be tackling anything this big while holding a knife in the other hand! We don't want any mishaps ;)

Oh and btw, pickled onions and christmas are possibly my two least favourite things apart from Piers Morgan and the plague!

Happy pickling and I hope you enjoy the puzzle :)

Dearest Lionheart! I am thoroughly enjoying your "James Bond Special"---exactly in the middle of it in fact---but just for the sake of correctness (this will surely earn me the title of GREATEST PEDANT OF ALL TIME)the figure quoted somewhere has to be 31,536,000 ! I only noticed it because I first tried dividing it by the obvious numbers and it didn't work out.Silly, I know. I like your type of punning etc.,so PLEASE don't take this as any more than a tiny correction!No hard feelings, I hope!!!

@ mog...I'll join you in a pint of humbug ;)

@greedy kite...haha, love it!! You're absolutely right! I did it on the calculator so I must have just typed it out wrong. Pedantry is a virtue I wholly admire :)
Thanks for the kind words, glad you're enjoying them!

Must admit I "cheated" on the last 3 for a few letters,but altogether that was great! Keep up the good work!
