The first one is: http://caroleschatter.blogspot.co.nz/2012/01/cryptic-crosswords-solving-hints-1.html<br />It has now evolved into a daily series. I find it great fun - much better than ordinary crosswords.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16985978221627051493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703580880701048113.post-21825298620905693812011-07-21T07:37:21.910+02:002011-07-21T07:37:21.910+02:00Ooops...I meant to also thank you for voting for m...Ooops...I meant to also thank you for voting for my blog in my last comment, so thanks!

Will you be posting a list of your favorite words...I would be rather interested in that.

Incompetence is one I wouldn't have come up with on my own, but when I read it I realized how much I dislike this word, its meaning and how much I see it in my daily life (mainly when I am at a store). It frustrates me and I just want to shout "Come on, get your act together!" :) Thanks for a great list!Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469312477524652967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703580880701048113.post-22401518873983166572011-07-18T17:21:34.185+02:002011-07-18T17:21:34.185+02:00Awesome list!
