One day I'll make it! Must be something in the water - my solving has been all over the shop lately. By the way, did you see my latest venture? bsky.app/profile/rsmy...
Is there a crossword person in your life? Would you like to get them a unique gift? PERHAPS FOR CHRISTMAS?

Well maybe a bespoke quiz or cryptic crossword would fit the bill, on any theme, of any size, by the author of [counts on fingers] more than 900 published crosswords, i.e. Me. Give me a shout!

I think you just calculate a fair proportion of bills (based how much of the property you use for how much of the time). Think I'm right in saying you can't claim mortgage payments but you can claim interest payments on mortgage.

I've now basically forgotten 80% of classic Simpsons so this sort of thing is a lovely treat for me.
