Yes I have one, but the cat flicked it behind the sofa where it has stayed! I miss it because it is a light-up one which makes lovely patterns.

Three of our DGDs aged 3,5 and 9 all sat in the back of our car yesterday, clutching a fidget-spinner each. I thought that fad was over--apparently not. The three year old kept dropping hers and losing it.

I have always been a fiddler. The clicking of my locket chain is proof of that. So rather than send oh completely off the rails I have changed to fidget spinning.which is slightly less agrivating

This may well be a half term thread, ?but have to admit,
Fidget spinners are fun!

My DGS collects them, we bought him about six at Christmas, some are really beautiful, but didn’t keep any for ourselves ( although we did test them first) ?

Sorry, not about fidget spinners, just fiddling!

My DH drives us all bonkers with his fiddling! He rubs his thumb on trouser seams, chair cushion seams, labels - anything BUT the twiddle muff I made him so he could hide his hands while fiddling. You can see his thumb going up and down out of the corner of your eye and its infuriating. He even does it in the car and has rubbed a hole in the leather cover on the gear knob. Apparently it runs in the male side of his family but our DS hasn't started it yet, thank goodness!
