Good morning class, here is today's starter.

No trickery intended, but if you wish to misinterpret, please share your ideas with us all. It makes for a more interesting thread.
After all, Miss MaryDoll is not perfect! Well actually I am! wink

For new classmates, this is meant to be a bit of fun, please join in and do not allow yourself to be led astray by certain unruly posters! grin

Ooh Callistemon you fibber! you said they were too hard. I thought that meant you wouldn't do them. You just want a cream egg!

Marydoll Sat 18-Apr-20 12:00:02

A sook, (as we call them in Glasgow) requested them.

By the way, those are the easy ones! wink

Here I am Miss, late again but been to Tesco for some chookie eggs for you - nice brown free range ones ( not doing orgasmic stuff again - it got me into trouble)

The answer is 6 (cos everyone says it is) and we’re sposed to do Teamwork aren’t we?

Cor Miss I didn’t realise there would be school on Saturday.
Sorry. Can I eat my breakfast in class? ?

marydoll. It was me - my mum used to call me a sook when I tried to get into her good books. Also - don’t be a sookie-ma-toorie. Off to work out the magic squares.

You fibber Doodle! I called for you on the way to school but you ran off because you said that you was meeting Big Jim round the back of the bike shed and he'd got some Woodbines for you. Ner ner na ner ner! I wouldn't have split on you if you'd have let me come with you.

Doodle Sat 18-Apr-20 12:44:49

Well I’m here now chewy. Telling tales.?

And I’m going to be different. I think the answer is the two test tubes in a rack. So there. So to any who think I copy that’s showing you ?

Bathsheba, I do have more difficult ones, it's hard to pitch it to suit most people. ?

Doodle Sat 18-Apr-20 13:48:37

Pantglas2 Sat 18-Apr-20 13:50:38

Doodle, are you still wearing pajamas? Calistemon, I forgot to tell you yesterday, that your other name suits you too.

Had trouble sleeping last night and woke up late this morning. No potato puffs in our delivery, but DH and I did have a tasty 'Brunch' (ham, eggs, croissant, juice and coffee) which was bigger than breakfast but not quite lunch and it's just about noon here.

Anyway, I concur with all of you, so I'll just have some of those delicious creme eggs that Miss keeps talking about!

OK....I know. I have to earn them....

Puzzle #1: Answer is 6

It's OK Miss I like easy magic squares the best (I'm not much good at the harder ones ?)

Marydoll Sat 18-Apr-20 18:24:20

Sorry I'm late all, I was dealing with a latecomer on the Thursday thread, who left a comment. sad

Well done all of you for solving the puzzles. No point in me posting the answers, you have done all the work for me.
I was going to give you all ? ? ??, but there were none in the Tesco delivery. Actually I forgot to order them.?

As compensation, I have a special treat, but please don't tell the school dentist ? or I'm for it. blush,

I'm off to sort tomorrow's puzzles and ensure that no-one can be picky about them.
Check out Thursday's puzzle, to see what I mean. wink
