Giving affection being very close

Any letters so far ?

hand and glove

[sandyRoe]

Handing love

[Mamyalynne]

There you are, no need to give details.

[sandyRoe]

The details help, though. I just happen to have the xword beside me.

[DTCwordfan]

sorry was doing it from memory hand in glove

[Mamyalynne]

I realise that Sandy, my somewhat sarcy remark was to the OP. I cannot afford all the newspapers I would love to help but am consistently frustrated by the lack of info.

[sandyRoe]

Mamya, who could afford all the newspapers? :-) And who'd want them all?

[boxtops]

Indeed mamya - I wish in this category the Ed could add a bit which not only says "which crossword", but "how many letters" and "do you have any already"?

[Mamyalynne]

Yes Boxy good idea.

Sandy I worded that badly, meant cannot afford all the papers I would like to have.

[DTCwordfan]

Mamya, you will have the Examiners out marking you down for poor spelling and grammar. This was an earlier thread.

[DTCwordfan]

English = grammar & spelling was the thread

[Mamyalynne]

I often use poor grammar and spelling but that is not really what this was about, but thank you for your comments.

I do have an excuse but am not going to play that game.
