My BIL saves the puzzle pages in the daily mail for me and I do as many sudokus, crosswords as I can - not always successfully but the trying is good for me!

Margjul4 good day to start today! Be prepared to get addicted. Just going to Greece for eight weeks soon and have sent out all my old jigsaws. Hoping to sit out in the sun and do them.

Just as nice sitting by the fire here though! And the things I learn from Radio 4 in the evening....I think I listen harder when I am puzzling!

I miss Jigsaws, bungalow too small for a table.

Do crosswords, killer sudoku, sudoku, Back&Forth, scrabble,
Logic puzzles, word collect , every day, most of the day.

Spottybook a girl after my own heart. I hate twee pictures but love abstracts and unusual mandalas, buddhist pictures etc. This is one I just finished. Found the missing bit later, down the sofa!

I like playing the daily bridge hand with Sky bridge club on line with my morning cuppa.

Puzzles are my addiction. I can't be bothered with jigsaws but Mr LD always gets one for Christmas. I prefer all the crosswords etc in the newspaper. When we can get the Metro we take 2_copies and have a competition to see who wins first. Sad I know but there you are. If we can bear to get the Mail I like the Pitcherwit puzzles, it is clever.

I love a crossword, I have a book and pick it up at least 4 times a day when I have a minute to spare. If I can’t get a word I will go away and think about it, sometimes I have to give in and check the answers at the back of the book. I also love a jigsaw, haven’t done one for years I might get one going now you’ve mentioned them!

A jigsaw addict here! Once started I can't stop. Sod the housework. Mind you I am very picky with the subject, not vases of flowers or landscapes for me. I like unusual ones, particularly abstract and part of the pleasure is trying to find them. 1000 piece ones are my favourite.

Jigsaws are not for me, but I do enjoy my daily Sudoku and crossword, so I can understand how having sometime to yourself, especially with a glass of wine, is something to look fwd to.

Happy National Puzzle Day. ?

This has to be my favourite day. I know there is a day for everything nowadays but I like this one!

My favourite time is to sit down with a cup of tea (or glass of wine), switch the radio on and do my jigsaw. This always gets pushed back to the end of the day as a treat but today I have the excuse to start early,

Anyone else out there addicted to jigsaws?
