Happy New Year gridders one n'all ..... a fun easy one to start the year off - hope it made you smile :-)

Bored Panda... Who would have thought. Nice one Scoobydont.

Funtastic on such a drismal day- thanks.

I thought the idea was quite fun. It was a bit confusing at first, but I soon spotted some patterns. I have a couple of minor issues:
The row with pets in it are also all things that can be worn.
The bored panda thing is rather obscure. I managed to link the words, but not spot the thing that actually linked them.
I suppose, if it was all really straight forward, it wouldn’t be any fun. Thanks for what I imagine was a rather tricky grid to make. Despite my complaints, I did enjoy it.

cheers for that one- good fun and solvable

I thought Portmanteau words for Askhole etc

Goodone

Thanks Keith - hadn't come across portmanteau before. tbh it was just fun set of words that made me smile and it was New Years morning.

Three very similar links.

Should accept portmanteau for the green group
Should accept clothing with animals names for purple group
