Well I have no chance, by the time I`ve checked Annabel- still pregnant and attended to the needs of my sweet little Muckspots I will be too done for to read the clue at 10pm so I guess everyone will have about a 10-11 hour start on me; then unless the question involves cat poop I wont have a clue  :rofl:

Good Luck Everyone, keep your lucky pants on Si  :rofl:

Thanks Tan :hug:

Hey am doing this on antibiotics that have to be taken every 6 hours and on an empty stomach for a chest infection so should be fun  :rofl: So you do have a chance Theresa  :rofl:

Anyone got their clue yet as I don't have mine  :'(

Are all the 16 clues findable tonight. This is going to be hard, I will probably end up spelling a norweigian sentence or something with my letters!!

I hadn't actually realised there were prizes too

Roll up, Roll up - last day to join the treasure hunters  :wow:


Basically you donate a much needed fiver (via Paypal, cheque bit late for cheques or bank transfer) which goes to the independent rescues, Tan will give a clue to start the treasure hunt off and then you get a week to find the clues at your leisure. All treasure hunters who give the correct answer go in the Purrs hat and the treasure hunter who's name is picked out wins a stash of cat goodies  :wow:

.

Payday has finaaaaaaally arrived for me so have just donated via Paypal - may the best treasure hunter win  :evillaugh:

Will have to give it a miss this time as I will never get my cheque to Tan in time.

Cannot use the online payment facility as it doesnt like my credit cards!!!!

Hope to take part in the next one.
