Anyone else attempting this? I feel I could lose a lot of my week if I'm not careful!

Ooh impressive stargirl! I'm quite jealous! I've had a look at it today and am getting somewhere with certain words, but still not getting the overall picture. Hope they post a couple more clues tonight and I can spend some time on this once DS is asleep.

Very impressed!

We went to church and prayed Grin When we came back I just saw it!

I meant to say, I won a nappy on a flash comp. a Lollipop bamboo Size 1 with a Pop n Gro Wrap. It is too small for DD Grin

This is majorly doing my crust. Me and DH have been staring at the phrase for days hoping the letters would magically spring into some sort of order. We've got bits, but I think the problem is that we've managed to make some words which are probably not even there, but unwilling to break them up for the letters 'in case'.
I agree it's very bloody complicated considering that we're supposed to be learning that cloth nappies are easy!!! Thank god DH is off on holiday or I'd have never had the time to do it from dealing with taking loving care of 7m DD...lol.

The clue about Sue is not literal. It is cryptic.

VisualiseAHorse · 21/04/2013 21:08

Well I've got all the letters in front of me now (like scrabble tiles), and have 10 words, with 17 letters left over....

stargirl1701 · 21/04/2013 21:59

I did scrabble. I also had 15 bits of A4 paper to lay out the letters. Grin

VisualiseAHorse · 21/04/2013 22:54

Done it!

warning - make sure you have all the letters right. I lost one, AND wrote two down wrong too.

stargirl1701 · 22/04/2013 08:19

Well done!

TallGiraffe · 22/04/2013 13:45

Done it!!! Thank goodness for that.

We're still no further Sad spent about 2 hours last night on it with DHs help. There is a really logical way it feels the first 10 words should be, but then it's not possible to make 5 words that make sense out of the letters left. I've re-checked all the URLs and I'm 100% sure I have the correct letters. Will have another gander tonight but might have to admit defeat Confused

stargirl1701 · 23/04/2013 11:56

There might be more clues released as we get closer to the deadline. I emailed the letters and clues to the grandparents (all crossword fans) for help.

TallGiraffe · 23/04/2013 12:53

Which letters do you have left? I had to recheck that I had crossed off the right ones that I'd used. Not convinced it was as much fun as they were claiming it would be beforehand, I have definitely spent way too much time on it!

Fingers crossed one of us wins something in Clothopoly! Grin

stargirl1701 · 24/04/2013 20:43

Only a few more hours till it closes! Best of luck for tomorrow!

stargirl1701 · 25/04/2013 07:42

Sooooo.....

What did you write as the phrase? We thought it was:

Why use disposable nappies when you can use cloth nappies which are so much fun!

When do you think we'll hear?

rrreow · 25/04/2013 09:26

Same as you stargirl. I read on FB that they'll try and notify the winners today. Fingers crossed!

stargirl1701 · 25/04/2013 14:42

Any news? I have not won.

rrreow · 25/04/2013 14:59

I didn't win anything either Sad

TallGiraffe · 25/04/2013 18:25

Nor me Sad
