You most certainly can Volkan.

It's very kind of you as I know you do charity work at the restaurant   :).

Well over half full now but still quite a few squares to fill.
I must say I have just had to go to the top of the thread to re-read how this competition works and I am still a bit confused, but them it could be that we had a 4.00 am early start for the car boot this morning. John, please can you run through again how it works and when you will need to have all the squares filled in for so that you can start revealing what is behind them. Thanks   :)

Behind the squares in the grid there is a number between 1 and 12 which represents a line from the song - (1) partridge in a pear tree , (2) turtle doves, (3) French hens, (4) calling birds, (5) golden rings, (6) geese, (7) swans,  8 maids, (9) ladies, (10) Lords, (11) pipers and (12) drummers. 

There is one square that has a 1, two squares that have a 2, three squares that have a 3 etc., etc.

I will reveal what is behind each square over the 12 days.

If you have been good enough to take a square, you will be asked to donate £ 1.00 for each of the corresponding numbers in the song. For example, if a 4 is behind D1 you would be asked to donate £ 4.00.

Hope that explains it pi55y. If not let me know

You do still go down a very complicated route for your fundraisers John, however I am sure you know what you are doing  :)  :)

Not so echogirl 1 – it’s very straightforward   :). Bewva is correct – simples innit ;D.

Step 1 – forum member picks square
Step 2 – I reveal number in that square and ask for donation
Step 2 – children in Turkey benefit.

Seriously though the grid is filled with numbers as shown below but located randomly around the grid.



If your square has a 4 in it, then you are asked to donate £ 4.00.

If we manage to fill the grid then 4 people would be asked to donate £ 4.00 each.
