......... a geek who got more excited about the Geek League than I did.......
.........drumroll please.........
The winner is.........
TINTOCKTAP !!!!!!!!
A suitably geeky prize will be winging it's way to you in the not too distant future (once I've decided what it will be!)
To all of you who took part...and those of you who stayed faithful to the blog despite not knowing what on earth was going on.......THANK YOU!!!
I've learned a great deal throughout this Geeky phase:
1. I'm maybe not as geeky as I thought
2. I'm not very good at organisation
3. I enjoy handing out points on a completely ad hoc basis - thus shirking any responsibility for setting up proper challenges with an appropriately weighted system of points
4. I need to think things out before opening my big mouth
5. I'm looking forward to doing some sewing
Phew!!
Things may get back to 'normal' round here.....
.......tomorrow I might show you my new feet - once I've had chance to play with them :)

p.s. if you were waiting for this post yesterday, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting :-) Yesterday would have been my Mum's birthday and I decided I'd rather have a day off blogging.

Gah! So near, and yet so very far :o(
That said, whopping great congratulations to Lesley at tintocktap! I'm seething with envy, obviously, but I'm still very pleased for you :o)
Thanks for the geeky challenge, Moogsmum - I've enjoyed it loads! Just wish I'd been that little bit geekier ;o)
love from the second-geekiest geek :o)

You're so funny Lesley! Aren't you glad it's over? Congratulations to Tintocktap!
Thank heavens it's all over!
Oooops! Did I say that out loud? Silly me!
All I mean is, at least now I won't have to keep desperately trying to think of ways to make my totally ungeeky (but undeniably odd) self sound clever in a geeky kind of way!
I'm very proud of myself for doing so well but I'm sure the nag-factor has to be taken into consideration!
Congratulations to TTT - you clearly deserved to win!
And lots of love to you mad woman, Me xxxxx
oh wow! can't believe i came fourth - wahooo! congrats to TT and thanks to you for organizing the geek challenge! you are a star!!
xx
Congrats to Tintocktap! I am off to give back my PhD since I clearly don't deserve to call myself Dr DC anymore ;-)
Oh congratulations to Tintock - she pulled it out of the bag with that last post, didn't she? I'm pleased to have made the Top 10 - no danger of relegation.
Looking forward to seeing your new feet enormously - they'll be the ones to match those lounge pants? ;-)

Congratulations to Tintocktap! I'm off to see who she is in a minute.... I'm glad to see a monkey got in on the act!
Sending you a big hug (not sure which gizmos on the keyboard stand for hugs) xxxx
Phew! Just inside the top ten. I need not hang my head in shame.
Big geeky congrats to Tinocktap!!! I am happy to be at #5....mid-way geekiness is not too shabby!!! (though my competitive nature says I should have tried harder) I am rather pleased to see two Australians in the top ten (HI Trashy!)
I am looking forward to the return of normal craftiness from you ♥
Oh I'm so glad to see that Lesley won - she really put her all into it, didn't she? And VC a close runner up? Hurrah!
From your thoughts about this challenge, can we take it that you won't be hosting any Mrs L type swaps anytime soon??
;)
Gosh, I'm releived that is all over. Especially as I managed to get through the whole thing with ZERO points!!! Congratulations to Lesley!
Oh dear! I don't know whether to be pleased or embarassed - pleased that I'm a winner, but I hadn't realised just how terribly geeky I am! Put it down to being on maternity leave and having no other outlet for my geekiness!!
Thanks Mrs Moogsmum for the fun!
I am so relieved that I didn't make the list! Phew! I probably could have done better if I'd really wanted to! You crack me up, as usual!! Enjoy yourself now that it's all over and you can focus on other things. Actually I'm surprised you didn't give the U.S. the top award with all the stupid hullabulloo about the elections! (and I'm drawn in too...yikes!) I'm a political geek!
Congrats Lesley! This is a very cute post. This is also my very first visit and I will be back.
