It's time 🎵🎶 well nearly, 2 hours and change until it drops. It should be 10.30.
Its my favourite time of year but as usual I will probably be useless and depend heavily on mumsnetters for help to decipher.

I searched and couldn't find another thread if there's one already up and running ill delete this.

Edited for proper link

You’ve got it @Gingercar, just the wrong way round! Try your options in alphabetical order (which is my normal way of saying it).

Thank you!

Im so glad to have finished. It’s driven me nuts this year. I’ve not heard of most of the books.

Can someone please help? I’m hopelessly stuck on:
dragon tattoo, cat and Xmas tree with clocks
Thank you!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 25/11/2025 16:40

The first one is the obvious well known book/film with a title including the words you have used to describe it.

The tree is being given to someone so it is name'stree the book is a sort of homophone of saying that. It not a department of hours and minutes it a ...........

The cat is a witches pet. There is a word used to describe animals owned by witches.

Monoceros · 25/11/2025 21:28

Thank you @WarrenTofficierI’ve got them all now! The dragon one was so obvious, and it was one of the first titles I tried, but I think I used the wrong articles and it wasn’t accepted.

A few people have said it was glitchy on that one for them and they had to try several times before it was accepted.

A few years ago I was totally thrown by one that I knew the answer to but it kept rejecting it and it was a the difference between can not and can't or something similar so now if I think I know it but it's rejected I check the exact title on the Waterstones website.

Jugendstiel · 27/11/2025 14:36

Is it glitchy? I've tried putting in the obvious answers for the tattooed girl and the slippers but both are apparently wrong. Correct spelling and articles etc.

Ignore - sorted.

Jugendstiel · 27/11/2025 14:49

I just can't get:
The woman tying up her hair
The radio with a shiny blue light on it
The mug

Now just stuck on the woman's hair and one other that I can't even find!

Jugendstiel · 27/11/2025 15:11

All done. Couldn't have got some without your help. Especially the hairdo one which I had read!

ElsieJay · 27/11/2025 18:31

Only one to go - could someone PLEASE pm me - am stuck on the seasons books.
Think it must have Year in the title, but am absolutely stumped !
Thanks in advance .
The site is definitely glitchy, must have typed in the dragon title five or six times before it was accepted …….

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 27/11/2025 18:54

Seasons book has nothing to do with the seasons but the activity. Author initials OM.

ElsieJay · 27/11/2025 19:50

@EineReiseDurchDieZeit - thank you !

Ironically, I had tried each of those two words but as present participles rather than nouns.
Much appreciated !

TSF1970 · 27/11/2025 20:53

I am sure I know the arm holding up the hair, but I have typed in sssoooo many times and it is saying its wrong. Anyone else having problems entering the answers?

Quizzes1 · 01/12/2025 19:10

Think what a witch calls a cat

Barra1 · 04/12/2025 19:35

Please help with the laptop one - it’s my final one to get!!!

What are the things being described? The first word in the title sounds like a word for what they are. Then the description on the screen is written in a certain formula linked to computers. That is the second word of the title.

It's a homophone. One of the words in the title sounds like one of the main things in the image. And what is she doing with her hair (and her arm)?

Seventyandlovingit · 08/12/2025 22:46

Thanks for all the clues, I really needed them!

farmergirl15 · 11/12/2025 20:19

I think I know what the sea one is but it isn’t accepting it, can anyone help please?

Got it thanks!

ClaraSais · 13/12/2025 19:44

It’s that time! Always love coming here on this particularly thread! How’s everyone doing? I’m not doing very well with the challenge this year 😂

ClaraSais · 13/12/2025 19:45

Negroany · 13/11/2025 10:50

I've got arm, top left books (read that!), side table books, slippers, blanket. I thought I had the cat, was so sure, but tried a few permutations and it's not right.

Regarding the cat - what is a witches friend also known as?

ClaraSais · 13/12/2025 21:02

steppemum · 13/11/2025 14:15

Oh got the lady in the chair now, thank you.

I started with the blanket on the arm of the chair.
I thought it was Oranges are not the only Fruit and I personally think that is a better answer!!

Also thought it was Oranges are not the only fruit

ClaraSais · 14/12/2025 10:24

Darn it I have 17/20
I am so stuck on the seasons, the seas and that darn dog 😂
any clues please folks
