Very good!

Got 1,2,6 and 7 - thought 7 was great.

It appears we're holding off. Love 7! Got to flee- to airport and then ferry in New London (on the Thames! really! coincidence?). Very nice, ixxie, as ever.

Have now got 3,4 and 5 - AND the link answer.

Is everyone busy today?
I'm going out now, so will just give the link answer - Mystery - as other people will probably want to solve the clues.

Mystery it was Joan...

I was going to ask when do we post our answers - I seem to think that there is a 'deadline' for this.... is there? I hasten to add that I THINK I have 4 out of 6 but the link (now that it is revealed) doesn't really help!! Perhaps I haven't done as well as I had hoped. Looking forward to seeing the results and well done ixion - you're brilliant.

Post answers at will HelenB...no time limit applies...it's usually a free for all but sometimes, as on this occasion solvers hold back a bit. It's all good.

1st Timer, be gentle.

2. Jetsum
3. Jauntily
7. Jabberwocky.
