Jigsaw Puzzles
- 16 January 2011 20:2389227I am not posting as much right now because my wife went out and came back with a jigsaw puzzle with all the bits looking the same.
My Pc is still running but I have my head into this Puzzle all the time.
I must say this is doing my head in - 16 January 2011 21:2189230Vic just because it says 'Over 5 years' on the box doesn't mean it takes that long to do!! Sorry couldn't resist that one
- 16 January 2011 21:2189231ihope it was not purchased from a charity shop vic, usually they have pieces missing.
much better to have an official one with wills and kate posing with fixed smiles, should be many of them on sale soon. - 16 January 2011 21:2389233Wrapped in tea towels, of course.
- 16 January 2011 21:5289238funny you should say that bern, i have already bought the official tea towel.
got a toaster out of argos yesterday for the big day, i bet that no other potential guest at the nuptials would have thought of that.
just waiting now for posh barry to confirm the seating arrangements, not sure if i am on the list for the abbey or just the drink up afterwards. - 16 January 2011 22:1589239No it is anew one Howard,in fact it is two in one boxand called Seasonal Serenity Cringleford house in Autumn and winder, Thanks for that one Jeane,very good, and you are not well yet,come girl summer is on this way we need you up and out again.

16 January 2011 22:2189240Howard that is bit of a blanket statement #3, I hope it was tongue in cheek.
.
We always chuck puzzles that say I piece missing, we can only sell what we are given. I have done 2 x 500 this weekend, only one is going back to the shop.
I am sure that most are happy to take a chance when they only have to pay £1 for a puzzle as opposed to around £7 for a top quality Ravensburg or Falcon puzzle. We have a high turnover in puzzles for that very reason.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 16 January 2011 22:2789242Yes Jan this one is aRavensburger one 2BY 500 PIECES,but got it from the book shop in a sale £4.99p
- 17 January 2011 23:3489336My wife and myself have just done the first one out of two,so I will start the second one in the morning.
DO MY HEAD IN. 
- 17 January 2011 23:3689339Vic............I would love to do your head in.grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet.
- 18 January 2011 12:0989385Ian you are are not the only one who would like to to that.Anyway e=we are just about to start the other Jigsaw Puzzle today.
- 18 January 2011 13:4789396Some friends of mine used to do jigsaws at work during lunchbreak. They once complained that they were getting too good at them and wanted a really difficult one.
Someone else in the department had a friend working at a jigsaw manufacturer in New York - next time they visited they came back with a 2000 piece puzzle that was just a sheet of white paper, no picture. It got done eventually. - 18 January 2011 20:1589465there used to be a crossword puzzle in the sunday times that had the clues unnumbered and the puzzle itself unnumbered.
how anyone manged to complete it is beyond me.
