Oh, that sounds like a plan! *rummages around in the kitchen for a menu*

Keeping every last crossable body part crossed for Jade and Ian tonight!

Oooh Sid. That sounds great. The Dishy Dane isn't a big fan of take-aways (see, he isn't perfect ) so we rarely have them.

Trick or treaters will have a bigger shock than they bargained for if the knock on my door during SCD.

Pop round and share mine

I'm optimistic that Jade will be ok

Bit worried about my Nat so may have to put a couple of votes her way, and one for Laila.

Apparently, Chris is topping the vote each week so I'm not overly worried about him.

I'll give him something to munch on!

My dad is on trick or treat door duty tonight. I did it last year

Are you cooking a scrummy meal then tonight Star?

That's probably what everyone will say.

Haha, I need about six for myself! I've not eaten yet today!

Not so sure how much I believe that about Chris. I know it's plausible, but I'm not sure that Chris isn't one of those odd beasts who's very popular on here and less so in real life. I could be wrong, though.

Not sure what to cook Sid. I am too excited about SCD to think what to do (which I know is sad). I am keeping my fingers crossed for Jade too, as well as voting a few times for her. She is my joint fav with Ali.

I'd try that but my dog will give the game away anyhow! She's very little but very very loud

put a note on the door saying 'Anyone who rings this doorbell after 6.50 is f***ing dead'

Good idea, Jan

I bought the goodies, so I've put husband on Trick or Treat duty tonight.

Pizza from Budgens tonight and stewed apple and custard

1h 30 to go....can't wait

I can't wait either! It's sad that I'm wishing Saturday away but I'm just too excited.

I'm off to make fajitas now. I was going to leave it until 6, but I need something to occupy myself. How sad is that?!

I am looking for ways to pass the time too! Just cleaned the bathroom...how sad is that?

SCD is the highlight of my week and I don't feel any shame admitting that

Moved into the back room now with all the lights and curtains on the front of the house off and shut. If that's not a big enough hint, I don't know what is...

1 hour and 10 minutes to go .

Still eagerly awaiting Laila's VW, but they'll probably near the start which is a shame as they've been close to last for the past two weeks now.

does anyone have the voting figures for last week - or estimates?

Don't think they release that information, though if you believe the Daily Star they say Chris was top of the public vote. Beats me how they know

Good guess IMO.

Putting Ricky W would be too obvious (or lying if DS is a reflexion of his popularity) and someone such as Craig would cause too much backlash. Chris was probably one of the only believable ones they could say without raising any questions.

Anyway, 45 minutes to go .

It's getting closer

Fajitas were lush, sorry there's no leftovers to share!

Grrrr my bro has bagged the lounge - at least until the footy match he's watched has finished.

So I'm resigned to watching Strictly in my bedroom and I can't get a very good reception on my telly

Merlin seems to be dragging on a bit this evening .

I know - and it's really boring!

Couldn't they put a quiz or something on before Strictly....

I can tolerate Eggheads whilst waiting for ITT.

This thread'll keep you going for the meantime .

A quiz would be a more suitable way to lead into Strictly. Eggheads isn't something I'd normally watch but the final round I always see before ITT keeps my attention at least.

Although on the topic of the Eggheads, not doing to well at the moment are they ?

Yes and I might log into 'TV Catch Up' or whatever the site's called where you can watch BBC live on your pc

I just hope none of my favs are on too early. I want to watch them properly on the big telly downstairs (especially Laila & Anton's VW)!

They could have put Dr Who on instead of saving it until next Sunday, but that would have been far too much excitement in one evening.

I'd never recover
