ah, I didn't realise you'd bought any from his site! ;)

yeah I have gobs of his stuff but most is from the magazines themselves. So the wizard and llama are the only ones I've bought so far.

the mice are pretty cute - I've got the fairytale pattern, so there's two different sizes (the smaller ones are the best :P), and I think I've got the hamster one in a folder somewhere too ;)

I have the aladin mice and the silent movie mice patterns :)

those sound brilliant :D Once you make the basic body, you can also mess around and make your own style mouse (like I did for the wedding groom mouse I sent to a friend) ;)

Must have been something wrong with your old phone then. o_O

:blops down on you: Been out and about all day. :P

looking at the reviews for the galaxy s2, it seems to be a thing with that particular phone - the battery life wasn't great at all :K

that was cute mouses xD me or you? lol.

nods I'm still amazed I was able to get the jacket to look right on that groom :P

you do a really good job making up patterns

hehe for knitting, it's trial and error - I'm better at making up crochet patterns, as I can get the shaping a little more accurate ;)

I love RP-Raven's outfit today :D :D

I've not really managed much knitting pattern-wise. why thank you :) kinda picked at random :P I like Paddy's jeans and jacket look

It took me a while to figure out how to get the shaping in crochet - knitting is harder to figure out if you only knit flat ;)

Thanks :D I cheated really, as most of it's the fanboy stuff :P

even knitting round I'd still not really know. I know :P I don't know what's up, but there's something off with my phone. I've had to recharge the battery now 3 times in the last 2 days. I only really got a few texts, called about 5 times and took a few photos. It shouldn't drain this fast. It was at 5% this morning but I charged it that afternoon. over the last month, the screen goes a little too dim own its own and been a little too hot. I googled how to check battery life and it passed so I guess I need to take it to the shop and have them look at it.

o.O that sounds so much like my old phone....

Try restarting it (press the power button and hold until you get that option).... if the battery still seems to be causing a problem, try removing it and replacing it (assuming it's one you can do that with - Mum's phone doesn't have that option). But other than that, it sounds like it'll need to go into the shop :( Don't be fobbed off with them saying that's normal though (they tried telling me that the 4 day battery life I start with on that phone was abnormal and obviously I didn't know what I was talking about o.O, therefore less than 8 hours of little to no use was normal for a smart phone battery)

oh lol I'm not leaving till they can pinpoint the issue. I don't run programs and have been doing other things so there's something wrong. I won't replace the battery till I have them look at it though, because we have a replacement plan on it so might as well get a battery there if I actually need one.

nods I was told if the signal is poor (like overnight if the phone's left on), the battery will drain quicker as the phone is constantly searching for a better signal.... so I just put it on flight mode overnight to make sure the alarm still works ;) But if there's nothing you're running (and especially if the phone feels warm / hot when the battery is draining that fast), then they should do something about it!

....One other possibility is that there's an update that needs to be run on the phone (no idea why that can cause the battery to drain like that, but when mine went into the shop, they told me they'd run an update and it was then working fine.... until a couple of months later when it started randomly draining the battery again)

yeah I'm looking at the useage since last fully charged and its showing that I didn't use it at all and its showing a grid so hopefully that'll help It has auto-update on it though.

Silly question, it's not on mobile data / wifi and trying to download something? But yeah, the usage graph thing should be helpful - I've got multiple screenshots saved of mine when it was doing that ;) At one point, mine was on 59%, I restarted it, and just as the phone started up again, it was on 15% o.O

nope.
nice xD
