    Woohoo. I love popping on here and seeing actual dribble. Yay to all of you!
    Wish I could dribble more but I am computerally challenged right now.lol.
    Like the idea of asking everyone back so long as they don't shout at us!!

    PS Joey I meant to say I love hearing about all your plans so don't worry about obsessing. You can let off some verbal steam here!!

    Happy Anniversary Paula - i'll PM you on FB :)
    Sorry to hear about your laptop Jo, how frustrating! It was nice reading your comment about your ducks in the snow - it reminded me of mine last year, they wouldn't venture out of their house for ages but when they did they loved it, sliding around everywhere - in the end there was no lawn left, just slushy mud everywhere. Great to watch them though. Hope your job's still going well :) xxx

    And then do it.

    They came out for a few minutes Em and looked about in confusion and went back in. I haven't spotted them out again since then.lol.
    I was going to FB x-factor again tonight but DH is taking kids upstairs for movie on his laptop while I watch it which is sweet of him. So I'll be computerless!
    Mabel - I guess you like the snow then hun. we will be seeing the ice merkins next!
    Paula - Happy anniversary hun. woohoo.
    Nixi - wow. that £15 or so will have been worth it just for what you have done so far. Go Girl!

    Nooo, no laptop? Deprived! We lose channels 3, 4 and 5 (and 4+1 etc) in bad weather but I'm quite pleased as I've just turned onto You've been Framed and it's working, I don't like X factor but we do like Harry Hill and I've told the kids if they don't behave WagBo's going to come and chase them! hehe :)
    I'm laughing at the idea of confused ducks looking baffled at the snow!
    I've knitted three scarves in as many days, only knit all the way along (stocking stitch? Garter?) but I love that I can sit and do it around the kids and make quite fast progress. Very relaxing. Thanks for the congrats! I'm taking full credit lol :)xx
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

    Hi Rosie congrats on grandchild number 2 :D and also on your challenge totals, you've done great, very inspiring.
    Jo - we'll do an xfact party tomo if you're around - we may be consoling munchki though as mr. wag's fave to go, again!
    Wow Paula - 3 scarves in 3 days! i've done about 3 lines of 1 scarf in a life time! i stopped as each line is wider than the last.

    Em, I think you'd be ideally suited for merkin knitting then as your basic pyramid should work well!
    We have a normal computer downstairs so I may stll party tonight just its set up so my back would be to telly.
    Sounds like we've loads of computers but Dh's lappy is a works one. So we have the main pc and my cheapo 2nd hand lappy for work.
    Still we do pretty well considering so not really moaning.
