That's what I'm thinking as well.

Fred is twice as old as Sue was when Fred was as old as Sue is now.

Say Sue is 22. When Fred was 22, Sue was 11 making the age gap 11. That makes Fred 33 (22 + 11), total 55

Say Sue is 20. When Fred was 20, Sue was 10 making the age gap 10. That makes Fred 30 (20+10), total 50

Say Sue is 18. When Fred was 18, Sue was 9 making the age gap 9. That makes Fred 27 (18+9), total 45

Unless I'm going totally wrong that is Jumble, put us out of our misery!!!!

That's how I was working it out.

I'd love to be able to do a big jigsaw like that, but with a 22 month old roaming about it's not really possible!

Evening all :wave:

I haven't been on here much over the last few days, my own fault for leaving everything until the last minute :eek:

I did pop into T's today although I still have to go to my "local" to do my "proper" shopping. It's funny but, although I have 4-5 stores quite near to me, there is one in particular that I feel I have to do my "shopping" in, probably because I know exactly where everything is Is anyone else like that?

I did manage to get a Delhi bite selection but not a lot else....... the shelves were either empty or a complete mess! I gave up and came home, I will go again either later tonight or early in the morning. Then again, I might leave it until around 10.30pm tomorrow, hopefully they'll be tons of whoopsies to be had!

For the times when you get too tied up in the consumer madness that it Xmas and the kids are getting way too excited for their own good (and our patience) I thought I'd share this story that my Dad just emailed to me


‘Gold Wrapping Paper'

The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her five year old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper.. Money was tight and she became even more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her mother the next morning and then said, 'This is for you, Momma.'
The mother was embarrassed by her earlier over reaction, but her anger flared again when she opened the box and found it was empty. She spoke to her daughter in a harsh manner.
'Don't you know, young lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package?'
She had tears in her eyes and said, 'Oh, Momma, it's not empty! I blew kisses into it until it was full.'
The mother was crushed. She fell on her knees and put her arms around her little girl, and she begged her forgiveness for her thoughtless anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later, and it is told that the mother kept that gold box by her bed for all the years of her life.
Whenever she was discouraged or faced difficult problems she would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us, as human beings, have been given a Golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family and friends... There is no more precious possession anyone could hold. :A

That just made me cry. It really makes you think.
