Good lord Bill. Rather you than me.

Anyone any idea why my post will now not accept photo’s?

Bill

Bill fawcett · Thu Feb 03, 2022 8:58 am

Worked till 1am last night and have now got 8 pieces in

Bill

Bernie R · Thu Feb 03, 2022 9:00 am

That's a definite 'no' from me Bill.

I enjoy a challenge but that's a piece too far for me - would quickly become a chore not a pastime.

Good luck.

would quickly become a chore not a pastime.

Bernie, that's a perfect explanation of what activities will become a hobby. And the reason I don't like big jigsaws whilst, on the other hand I love my garden.

Bernie R · Thu Feb 03, 2022 10:15 am

Bee

I'm exact opposite - garden is deffo on the chores list.

Bern

Bill, you are a devil for punishment!! Best of luck and hope you are still sane at the end!!!

I would have given up on that one too Bernie!

Bee, I think I would love gardening too if I knew what I was doing!!!

I'm a 'bung it in and hope for the best' kinda gardener!!!

Hopefully more interesting than that Cottage puzzle I sacked...

Silver-Haired-Hippy · Tue Feb 08, 2022 11:18 pm

100% better!

Thank goodness for that! I finished the double sided one last night. That was definitely the hardest I have ever done, and I am so glad it wasn’t a 1000 piece one or I would have been there till next Xmas. I had to keep pulling it apart because I had pieces in it that should have been on the reverse side. They looked ok until I would suddenly find a piece that would not quite fit in because it was about 1 mil out, and then had to try to figure out which piece should have been on the other side.
The first photo is when I thought I had just about finished but I had 7 pieces over that would not fit in anywhere.

Bernie R · Wed Feb 09, 2022 12:23 pm

Well done Bill.

I'd never have taken that one on.

Bern

Silver-Haired-Hippy · Wed Feb 09, 2022 6:43 pm

I've got a headache just thinking about that puzzle Bill!

Bill fawcett · Wed Feb 09, 2022 10:05 pm

Loretta, I had a headache after I finished it

Some more £1 bargains today from the charity shop.

The Krypt one looks good

Bill

filsgreen · Wed Feb 16, 2022 5:06 pm

Getting some bargains there, Bill, mine are about £12 a go, worth it, though. Here's my latest effort.

Bill fawcett · Thu Feb 17, 2022 10:20 am

Nice one Phil. I hope they’re not second hand ones for £12 , I hate paying more than £1 for them.

Bill

filsgreen · Thu Feb 17, 2022 10:31 am

No Bill, they are new ones, I don't do any other type. I view them like books or DVDs; you can do them again and again. Also, most of them last about ten day, so I can't complain.

Silver-Haired-Hippy · Sun Feb 20, 2022 8:11 am

Like that one Phil!

Loretta

Bernie R · Sun Feb 20, 2022 2:57 pm

Finished my Paris one on Friday...

Silver-Haired-Hippy · Sun Feb 20, 2022 3:13 pm

Very colourful Bernie, I can imagine doing one like that!

Loretta

Bill fawcett · Sun Feb 20, 2022 3:51 pm

Nice picture that Bernie. Well done.

Bill

Bernie R · Mon Feb 28, 2022 12:50 pm

Bit of jigsaw humour...

My latest effort, 1500 pieces. It's the biggest I can do due to the size of my work space.

Bill fawcett · Sun Mar 06, 2022 4:25 pm

Well done Phil, I have the same problem when it comes to bigger ones.

I had another successful visit to the charity shop this weekend. I now have enough jigsaws to keep me going for about 2 years, all I need now is the time to do some.

Bill

filsgreen · Sun Mar 06, 2022 4:48 pm

Do you take them back to the charity shop, Bill, or collect them?

Bill fawcett · Sun Mar 06, 2022 5:23 pm

Phil I pass them on to my daughter-in-law.

Bill

filsgreen · Sun Mar 06, 2022 6:44 pm

Recycled then, Bill.

Bernie R · Mon Mar 14, 2022 10:49 am

Generally only do 1000 piece puzzles so when a mate at Anfield gave me this 500 piecer I expected an easy time.

Guess again, that sky was a bit of a slog. Nice puzzle though.

Bill fawcett · Thu Mar 17, 2022 2:08 pm

Another £3 worth bought today. I’ll be able to open a jigsaw shop soon

I am determined to find time to start one this week.

Bill

Silver-Haired-Hippy · Thu Mar 17, 2022 11:03 pm

Lovely picture Bernie but not for me, too much sky!

Bill, join the club! I have nine jigsaws to take back to my jigsaw shop, no doubt will come back with at least eight more!

I get them at half price as I only buy from him so he only charges £2.50 each!

Loretta

Bernie R · Fri Mar 18, 2022 12:46 am

More bargains there Bill.

I did one like the one at top right.
The first puzzle on page 1 of this thread.
It was a crazy bookshop.
If yours is similar enjoy the amusing titles on the book spines.

A bit of jigsaw info for those of you handy for Maghull/Lydiate

A while back I posted info about a jigsaw library st the Maghull Methodist church. My pal has today let me know that since that church has closed the library has a new home at St George's United Reform church on Northway.
"The jigsaw library will be open every Tuesday morning from 10.30 to 11.30 in the main hall behind the church. Access to the car park is between 32 and 34 Larchwood Avenue, L31 7BS". further enquiries; 0151 526 7913

Something a little different.
A puzzle within a puzzle.
Do the jigsaw then find the 101 bands in the picture.
