    Jigsaws

    Apparently jigsaws are more popular than ever since the pandemic!
    Some people have set up unofficial swap groups, and they are for sale on ebay and the like.
    Charity shops which are good source of second hand jigsaws are closed of course, and new ones can be very expensive. Especially if like my OH you do them in 2 to 3 days!

    OH got a couple of new ones at Christmas, and swaps with a couple of friends. She now has none to do, but DD2 is bring 2 tomorrow, so they will keep her busy until the next swap.

    I am not jigsaw person, but do sometimes sit at the table with OH and place few pieces.

    I mentioned on Chat that OH has just completed one of her Christmas jigsaws. One where the picture on the box is not the one you make!

    I will hopefully post the photos here soon.

            She did! It was so hard though, with no picture to go by!

            (sorry my posted pics are so big)

                Gem, that would test the patience of even the most avid puzzler. Well done, S. 👍👍

                  I used to love doing jigsaws, i don't think I've got the patience now 😁

                  My mam was going to a group "Nana Knitters" over 60's, where they were waiting at the library for the group leader to arrive, she had been delayed, the librarian gave them colouring books and pens, she said they loved it, I bought her and my dad some adult colour books for christmas she said it was her best present 😀

                    Well done to S.
                    I saw an item on the news,think it was yesterday,saying the sales of jigsaws have soared.
                    Sometimes I forget to like posts,but that doesn't mean I don't like them.

                          Grauntie - I've had a quick look in your settings, and I'm sorry but I can't see anything amiss. However, it's late and my little grey cells are ready for bed. I'll come back to it tomorrow. It's nothing you're doing, and it's nothing personal, we'll get it sorted. xx

                            Grauntie, Glamma had a similar problem recently and we couldn't see why. As Daisy says all your settings are correct and you do have permission!
                            We are due an upgrade of the forum and this may help. We get the upgrades done as soon as they become available, but can't do them until the latest one is released.
                            I can email you the jigsaw pics in the meantime though to put you out of your misery!
