Yes. There used to be a site that ran a treasure hunt every month or two and those always got posted on here and solved. They used to baffle me but some people seem to have a real knack for them and were willing to share their findings.

If I work any of it out I'll let you know, chances are slim though! :rotfl:

Not sure how or where to post this. Just a note that if you buy anything from Argos, check your receipt as mine say visit https://www.tellargos.co.uk/ and give them feed-back to enter to win £1000. Short survey - takes a couple of minutes.

There are no postal competitions in the latest issue of Yours magazine.

What's the stance on when competitions should be expired? I've just noticed a lot of last week's Shortlist competitions have been expired early along with other competitions closing today - even a competition with a question mark by the date which still appears to be open.

It seems to be variable,Painkiller

Last month we lost 31/05 on 31/05 but last night I spotted a few that were well outside their date.Personally I would rather they were left longer on the board.
I do appreciate that the BG team are volunteers & have lots to do but just seems that they could ease off.Seems to depend on how busy they are.
Then again some prefer they are moved ASAP & complain when they are not.

I think there was a glitch at one point with the Shortlist comp and someone said it wasn't there so perhaps people saw that and clicked expired. I did post that it was still working, but some people tend not to read down.

Hello all.

I'm just trying to get to grips with posting new comps, but my brain is a bit fried today.

The comp is virgin facebook and it's called The hunt for Richard's diary.

I don't think it's been posted, could someone kindly post the comp on the boards.

Meant to say, I think it runs out soon (hours?) but I'm not sure. If you click on the clue's, people have given the answers so far. xx
