[mamandelion]

Anyone any good at solving puzzles? These need to be done by tomorrow morning ..!

The king loses me for a drug.

Rings the patella.

Stephen is initially guided.

Sorry, but no idea of how many letters are required for each. Thanks in advance

Patella is the kneecap. Knock-kneed. (Door)knocker = ring?????

I'm not very good at cryptics, BTW.

are the answers suppossed to be to do with Xmas ?

Rings the patella might be chimney ... chime knee?

Stephen is initially guided = sled (S for Stephen, then guided = led)

Deffo think you've got 1 and 3 right. Not sure about the 2nd one - but got no better suggestions atm!

Brilliant! Mumsnet comes up trumps as always! thanks everyone, and a happy new year
