Treasure Hunting fever has struck the nation! Well, nearly 😉

Do you have a story you would like to share about your Treasure Hunting?

We are putting together some snippets for our main treasure hunting page here: http://pages.ebay.co.uk/treasurehunt/ and would love to hear from you!

This thread will need to keep on topic, so if you want to chat with other hunters, please use the rest of the forum, your posts will be removed if they are off topic.

Thanks!

Alexia

I learnt that I am either only half as clever as i thought I was or I need a straightjacket!! My kids aren't talking to me and I can't remember how to get up off this chair!

Me, my mum and sister sat at the computer for 5 hours trawling through our ideas, although some were completely wrong including (stab in the dark) at the time it was an idea silly now though. But we did get the 1655, unfortunately it was at about PM this afternoon. So we ignored our house work and children (at times) But everything is still ok so we will be back tomorrow so watch out peeps.

:0)
Well done EBAY !!!!

I think I now have DVT. Do we have any doctors here? No of course we don't, they're all busy doing something worthwhile!

Plus side of Ebay Treasure Hunt - my typing skills quickly came back to me, I have an honarary degree from Ebay university on the study of Partridges, learned Latin, learned how to "string", know how to amuse dogs without taking them for a walk, have quick access now to headache tablets, can talk on the phone in one syllable sentences and hang up within 20 seconds.

Negative side - my bum is sore, my house is a mess, my family think I'm mad, the Pinks mess with your train of thought, the toilet is downstairs, I've been eating sandwiches for 2 days now, my Ebay customers are getting neglected.

Who's ready for tomorrow?

Yeah, got up earlier than usual, did days housework before taking kids to school and sat at pc all day..
(oh, apart from setting an alarm clock to remind me to do a pre-school pick up and school run)

My daughter then kindly told my hubby what I had done this morning, why she was slighty late to school ( had to get housework done before school run), and that the pc chair was hotter than the rad, when I went to dish up their tea!!

Daughter not impressed or is hubby cause I didn't win!! lol

However, I have to say it's been fun and a very well done the Bales !!

Best wishes & Happy Christmas to all who reads this:)

My workplace looks like a tip.

the customers think im ignorant as i was supposed to deal with a few queries and call them back but didnt.

My car has just cooled down after a mad dash home theres a few disasters in my wake,

my dog is wearing half his dinner as i threw it at him on the way in the door,

The cat has left home in a huff as i propelled her half way across the room she was sitting on my laptop.

AHH Well there always tomorrow.
:^O

Yeh! Isn't this the best fun you've had for ages? (Or am I a sad individual!)
Spent today trying to serve customers quickly in my shop, doing Basil Fawlty impersonations. "You want one of these? Hurry up! What colour? Those are in the store, take cream, it's nice. Lord, you want me to put it in a BAG? Look, while you're shuffling for your credit card, what springs to mind when I say Cracker? Nothing? For God's sake man, I've got important things to do in my office, having a VAT inspection - DO HURRY UP!"
I wouldn't really care what the prize was ; I love the whole atmosphere and the comradeship. I haven't seen a bitchy remark on the Treasure Hunt Board since it started. Had a quick look at the other boards today and the threads were the same old subjects. Almost felt like posting, "Never mind NPBs, postage, feedback, come into the fun room where we're all ten years old again! Well done Ebay!

Oh, and I forgot another bonus; it's great to see the "human" side of pinks! (Or inhuman when they are keeping us on the edge of our seats!)

glenncanfixit · ‎09-12-2004

I prefered the Cadbury´s Cream Egg competition from years ago, at least you could dig up someones garden !!!!, all i am digging up is dead ends !!, i wish i could see what the winning listing looked like, This is great fun, cant sleep, go to the loo or eat !!!!!!!!!!!!

pris2001 · ‎09-12-2004

Before it gets pulled 'Laugh my arse off'

sjw1705 · ‎09-12-2004

I put too many sugars in my tea (that I made at hyper speed so's not to miss anything) chuntering to myself trying to come up with words. My cats are looking thinner for some reason and have a hateful stare when they look at me.?:|
