I've just had a look at their website and it's saying the hunt starts on 20th Aug.

Oh Yipee :D

That's the very day that I'm relieved of my grandson after almost 3 weeks and my daughter after a weekend. :mrgreen: I'll be ready for sitting at a computer all day without a doubt!

Well, you do a LOT better than I ever do, so I would think they probably will. :D

No Bunny, you just show up, rant about how your computer doesn't like googledocs, drop 6 or 7 brilliant ideas into the conversation and let everyone else get on with it!!! I personally find that very helpful, even if you find it stressful!

Hmmm...all I can remember is coming up with ideas which sent people off on a wild goose chase... :lol: But let's face it, a wild goose on the odd occasion keeps us all fit and active when we chase after it! :lol:

Absolutely none Snoopy. A few wild ideas always help,whatever free time you have available and the ability to laugh at yourself when you've suggested something ridiculous. The ridiculous ideas are usually the one's that work! We work as a team, not as individuals.

Ridiculous and crazy I can do. Correct and sensible - not so sure but my grandsons go back to school on the 21st August so I should be recovering and have some time.

:D We can stare blankly together. :lol: And I can absolutely guarantee that you wouldn't make any more ridiculous comments than I do.

You know, Scurra, we could host one of these... :twisted: If we got everyone on here to try them out first, then advertised via one of these hunts, you never know... :D

Do one of you clever people who understand these things want to register us? I'm back at work so won't be able to do anything very much but I don't mind having a look if anyone else is up for it.
