Bea I bet you dream of crosswords, have you every
woken and the answer to one you have been working
on ~ just hits you, you end up not knowing if you
actually dreamt the answer.

Good luck

poortony- That is absoloutely correct ;-) Have gone to bed with some blanks in crossword + too tired to go onto answerbank or spending some quailty time with husband instead, yet, when woken up the answers miraculously pop into head, for sure!! Last night did a few Mensa puzzles from a book( medium ones). Usually do a puzzle of some kind or one of the lateral thinking puzzles on Bea's Nintendo DS Lite before turn out the light. Hooked to Dr Knizia's Brain Benders at the moment. Have been a busy bee this a.m :-)!! Good luck too poortony :-) Warmest wishes on this sunny Tuesday morning, Bea :-)
