I always said I'd done 20 at some point .

I then stupidly thought I'd got it's measure

I then lost my Stats taking the 20 away and have been stuck on a streak of 8 though I couldn't get past 5 for ages ( Proof that I certainly HADNT "got its measure"

Now I'm back in the heady heights of 18 so would appreciate at least 2 more of these lol

No loss of life.

Didn't know the P but didn't spend much time thinking about it as Mrs Mug has a stinking cold and was demanding tea.

From a streak of 9 to a streak of 0 in one puzzle.
Lost a life on a wrong Connection.
YB
Feeling good with myself at this point.
Lost a life going for the G but not really knowing the Connection.
Lost last 2 lives with 1a guesses going for the P.
Good riddance indeed.

I felt liberated today after my 18 streak went down the pan

Replaced by a streak of 1 , it's easier to say f*** it like today and go back to zero lol
