Re: Dingbats
 

Correct, Margaret. :)

Re: Dingbats
 

Thanx Kate........I'm rubbish at these.

Re: Dingbats
 

One thing I find, with these, is that you just know when you are correct... like cryptic crosswords.

Re: Dingbats
 

I'm not much good at those either....but I like ordinary crosswords.
I'm just waiting for someone else to have a go at these dingbats because I do believe that I have solved another one of them...which is very good for me!
