:mad:
One angry person here. I spent days looking for the blasted Bobpot over on Craftsuprint.
The clues were all indicating Australia, or Australian, so I searched just about everything Australian I could think of INCLUDING ALL THE FOOTBALL SHEETS, and probably a good few hundred other bliddy sheets that I didn't think had to do with Australia. Finally today someone puts us all out of our misery and finds the snivelling little g*t, and where was it....... on a bliddy football sheet but only if you were searching whilst in an Aussie currency.
So search for it in any other currency and you had bleep all chance of finding it.
Yesterday it was intimated you should click on a different flag, so I did just that, but it never occurred to me I had to re-search all those locations I had already looked under, but whilst I had the Aussie currency loaded.
I shall never again go to their website cos honestly what a crock. Talk about unfair................

It's not because I didn't win. Not just sour grapes as it were.
I am happy someone finally put all us searchers our of our misery. What really wound me up was that if you were in any country other than Australia and you were searching, you were never gonna find the dern thing.
Surely the clue should be on a particular sheet in all 4 currencies otherwise it was so unfair, and anyone searching in Oz had an advantage straight away because they would naturally have their own currency loaded on the home page.
Any money you like the winner was Australian, and if not, well then he's either a genius or searched twice as many sheets as the rest of us in which case he really deserved to win.

Didn't think for one minute that it was sour grapes Looby, to be perfectly honest I was relieved when someone won it, I was spending far too much time looking, fruitlessly as it turned out LOL!! As you say, if the person that won it searched as many items as I did X 2 then more power to his elbow!!

Exactly Misty. I have learned a lesson though........ no freebie is worth wasting so much of my precious time. Half the time I am semi comatose, a quarter of the time just about upright and the rest completely comatose. I can't afford to spend the precious upright hours glued to a screen desperately searching page after page after page. I would much rather spend that time doing something I enjoy, such as crafting itself.

Sorry for being so thick, but I have no idea what you are talking about. What is a craftybob?

I'm the guilty party who has won twice, after I won on Christmas day I wasn't going to look again for a while but I fell on the ice so had to sit and rest for a few days and thought why not especially as someone else had already won twice. The first time I found him didn't take too long but the second time took me almost 3 days of searching for hours each day. I am so grateful to the site as winning the money allowed me to buy my Craft Robo which I never could have afforded without the win, I'm also going to buy some sheets from the site after all it is only fair to put some of the money back into the site.
Good luck if you're searching for Crafty Bob, I hope you find him.

... had a quick look at two pages and decided it's not for me, I haven't got that much patience anymore. You did so well to do it twice! :D
I hope you've nicknamed your Robo machine "Bob" ;)

Great idea, I hadn't thought about that when I was thinking of a name for him, OH has already named him 'Robocop', so no matter what I try and call him I think he's going to end up still being called 'Robocop'.

Is anyone else looking for Bob at the moment- I don't think he'll ever be found. :eek:
