UPDATE.
Have received and replied to dja & Wendy.
Have replied to AJT1 & ixion (small oversight on my part)
HelenB,
I sent your word on Wednesday Helen, but haven't heard anything back from you, if a problem has arisen, then contact me by email again or let me know on here, Thanks.
I have now heard from everyone else and have most of the clues in and ready for print, so I think I will be publishing by Sunday night/Monday morning.
I go into hospital on Wednesday morning for my long awaited gob surgery, so may be a little late posting the solution and wordplay files next week, I'll do my best.
I know this will be slightly earlier than usual, but the thing is we need to get May's 'done and dusted' because June's Joint Effort is a big one with 101 words to clue, so everyone will be getting more work to do, and I will be sending out these early next month, maybe around the 20th, so as to get it ready for the big celebration grid.
Reason being, June is the 6 month anniversary of "The Joint Effort".
Thanks, Les40
