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

Callistemon Sat 18-Apr-20 21:39:48

I never got one Miss and I got the magic squares right first before them.
Who ate all the eggs?

Pantglas2 Sat 18-Apr-20 21:26:17

Sciws me four a minit Doodle while I wash this brown sticky muck off my hands and face.....?. You don’t unnerstan wot ‘free range ‘ Eggs means. They’ve all just gone off, ranging free!

Cors I’d a shared em - it’s Teamwork, innit!

Doodle Sat 18-Apr-20 20:31:32

Oh Miss we like your sums and we appreciate your trying to keep us occupied. We have good fun in your class. Better than all our other teachers. I wouldn’t worry about Thursday’s thread. We all enjoyed it in the spirit it was posted. As for the eggs they are delicious.
pantglas Miss says you’ve got to share. Come back pantglas, come back with those eggs at once ?

Marydoll Sat 18-Apr-20 18:58:15

Pantglas, remember we are being KIND to each other, your friends have also worked very hard.

Anyway, I got them cheap on Ebay, left over from last Easter. If you eat too many, you may be sick. ??

Then again, it might teach you a lesson, it's about the only lesson you have learned this year. grin

Pantglas2 Sat 18-Apr-20 18:51:32

Are theses eggs for all our Teamwork Miss? And are they free range like wot them ones I boughted for you? Cos if they are, I better take them all cos they might range free, mightn’t they?

I promise to share....with the Team (tee hee)

Callistemon Sat 18-Apr-20 18:27:13

Thank you willa45, you and only you may call me Myrtle in future, I've decided I like it after all smile

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

Bathsheba Sat 18-Apr-20 17:34:53

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

willa45 Sat 18-Apr-20 17:04:28

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....

I agree with the other answers for the squares. I like these easy ones, makes me feel that I am not as thick as I thought! smile

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

Hmph! You just wanna go home early Doodle! I’m going to stay til the end, cos it’s Teamwork, isn’t it Miss? Everyone getting the answers and me shouting them out, tee hee!

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

bathsheba ? (goes away mumbling...just coz you’re good at maths ?)

Marydoll Sat 18-Apr-20 13:38:10

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

Bathsheba Sat 18-Apr-20 13:35:27

The magic squares were very easy Miss, but I did enjoy them.
