My darts swear box didn't do too well this season (mainly due to a couple of much better players joining our team and me being dropped by my husband in favour of them so my opportunity to swear was seriously curtailed!! ) Today I came up with a new plan - and one that I can just sit back and watch happen! Pretty much Zero Effort required on my part! I got into geocaching during the summer (see www.geocaching.com/ if you don't know what I'm on about) and have released a couple of Trackables. Briefly, they're items which have a unique tracking number that move from cache to cache, clocking up miles as they go! It occurred to me today that I could release a trackable and sponsor it an amount per mile that it travels. Now, I have no clue how many miles it might travel so I've started off small. I'm going to donate 1p per mile that Bobby The Travel Bug Doggy travels during the next 12 months. Bobby The Doggy has a page where you can check in and see her progress - www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=3552312 I hope it's ok that I've linked from the Travel Bugs page to BARK Lets hope she travels many miles! Netty PS - Bobby The Travel Bug Doggy will be heading to Egypt for a family holiday soon - that should clock up some miles to get her started!

Hi all Bobby the doggy hasn't moved for ages and I'm thinking that she might be lost ( or pinched!) from the cache she was in. We're just a few days away from her 12 months of traveling deadline so it's time to pay up! Not to worry if she is missing - she has raised some cash for you - I've just paid £60 to the rescue via paypal and hope this is helpful. If Bobby the doggy re-surfaces and continues on her travels I'll be sure to make further payments. Merry Christmas to you all and keep up the good work Netty xXx
