What a beautiful day! <checks forecast> grin

Easter is nearing and we thought we'd do something egg-citing on the site! We've hidden five eggs around the site for you to find and the clues are posted below to help you find them.

Each egg is hidden on a specific (and different) Gransnet content page, and the first letter of the name of that page is the letter you're after. So, if the clue leads you to the Michael Morpurgo webchat page, the letter you need is M.

If you're not familiar with our content pages, have a browse through all the different categories on our nav bar above. Under our Life & Style category we have Books, Gardening, Food and Technology, under Being a Gran we have Good Granny Guide, Child Development, Legal & Money and Relationships, and we've also got lots of Blogs, Webchats and Campaigns <phew>

We've also got pages upon pages listed on our A-Z indexes for Gardening, Webchats and Campaigns. But the eggs aren't that difficult to find, promise grin

Collect all five letters and then you'll end up with a word. All you then have to do is submit the word on the competition form to be in with a chance of winning one of three scrummy Sweet Trees by Rivera <salivates>

Oh, and you're welcome to help each other out with the clues but, if you guess the final word, please don't post it here. That would spoil the fun, eh?

Here are the clues:

1. Eat what you like for five days and fast for two.

2. Not on a browser, but an easy way to access news, social media, games and whatnot on your smartphone

3. Where you can find out how much va-va-voom is left in your relationship.

4. This plant adds a splash of colour to your garden and is often seen along the countryside.

5. Take care of the pennies.

Once you've found all your letters and have worked out what the mystery word is, submit your answer here.

We're closing the competition on Tuesday 26th March just in time for last orders and will announce the winners on this thread and the 'Won Anything?' thread.

Best of luck!

I got bored this afternoon as it was snowing, so I entered the other GN competitions, which I have never done before. I even tried for the thermals although I am a hot body, but I have an elderly neighbour who would love them.

Thankyou for your good wishes jO8.
I'd never entered competitions until I joined Gransnet earlier this year. If this weather keeps up we could be fighting over the thermals.smile

Happy Birthday dustyangel ! And thank you Shysal - I was too thick to notice the trees! Then I started to get sidetracked by the articles, but I've done it now. About to do the relationship checker.

j08 Sat 23-Mar-13 23:24:30

Don't do the relationship checker!! That way divorce lies. shock

Thank you Nfk.and CyberNan. I don't want to take over this thread so I'll just say I've had a lovely day today with not an Easter Egg in sight! Have you two entered the competition?
