Finally done it! Many thanks to cruciverbali, matydalover, mad max, crofter and novalis (+ anyone else who helped me) - could not have managed without you. Maybe next week will be 3rd time lucky and I won't need to have the glaringly obvious pointed (or .ed) out to me. Off to walk the dog in my +4s.

Pleased you persevered with it. There's always a sense of having achieved something, whether or not you've had help, when you finish EV. Masochist that I am it's the crossword I most look forward to each week.
I echo those sentiments. I started 13 grids ago and have submitted 10 completed with help in the early days. It DOES get a little easier and the standard is highly variable.
I have yet to see a theme repeated ~ each one has been different. In the beginning, I made a pledge on AB that ONE DAY I shall win EV! I still live in hope!

What comes across Physicsgirl are your enthusiasm, dedication and perserverance! These are qualities admired by the EV regulars on AB.

The whole reason I was so determined in the first place was because someone on AB told me I was leaping way out of my league - took that to mean I didn't have a chance and that made me mad! So inadvertently they helped me, too. If I ever get it finished in time for the post (not likely), and if I ever did win (never send them off anyway), will split the �15 between my mentors (that's you lot) and lend the pen to anyone of you that asks. In my dreams ......
well done , some weeks I hardly get started on any of the crosswords I attempt as obviously they vary, but this week completed all 3 that I look at ,EV ,LISTENER & INQUISITOR regards mm
ps inquisitor is usually easier in my opinion
Question Author
I started cryptics a year ago since someone at work photocopies the guardian every day and we usually do quite well. My husband bought me The Times jumbo cryptics book last Christmas and I usually do the Sunday Telegraph cryptic. Recommend the book! How many EVers use AB? I count about 5.
