I'm back and I think half a twice is a twonce or maybe not I thinkt the nearest is going to be a twiv.

Tch, tch, tch, Mosie, cheating at patience indeed! Personally, I just go for a new game, untill I see one I think will be solveable!! Is that cheating?? Nooooo!
Well having had no sleep for twice and a half nights, I;m going yo yake my meds a bit early and try the bed out tonight! So I'll wish all you badgers in the sett a good night. I'e left a few KitKats over there on A.B's book table, now here is a new conumdrum, is half a KitKat a kit r a kat and which bit is the kit and which the kat ???

no not snoozing PB - unfortunately. I wish you a very good day & the same to every body else.
Trying to think of what 1/2 a kit-kat might be called will keep me occupied for a while
