USB - don't be fooled, it was like that yesterday and then suddenly more were deducted. I think the 'initial' points are deducted later then normal as well as I checked at 6.30am and none had been taken but they had around 15 mins later.

In fact it has just taken another lot!

Yep, I've just been done too :-( We'll just have to wait for Lord Fetch to find the bug!

My husband signed up for Fetch yesterday, just so that he could play Fetchpoint!

He did it safe in the knowledge that I would obsessively clear away as many bugs as I could, leaving him to pick up the coins!!

This morning we have 12 new bugs in our circle - but lots more coins than usual.

Now to work out how to move the bugs and use his usual running routes to clear away as many coins as possible ;)

Discovered why the bug penalties are being added so regularly now :-O

There's a bit of code that gets executed every six hours... but it's taking longer than 15 minutes to run. So the thing that's asking it to run... is asking it to start again every fifteen minutes.

Just looking for a fix...

Phew. Just nearly burst into tears when looking at my account but I see it's not just me. I thought I was getting some extra punishment for being lazy and not doing as much running as I should..... still, it's meant I've now got my running shoes out from the boot of the car where I'd been claiming I 'couldn't find them' ;-)

Oh Baroness - I think those are dangerous signs. Unfortunately they are very similar to those I am showing. Last winter I retired to the turbo at about the end of October. This year the turbo hasn't been out once and I am thinking of buying some barrier cream for my poor face which is suffering from the effects of the freezing wind! Trying to be brave and not cry about the extra penalties this morning - thank goodness I started with a clean sheet last night.

Well I shall certainly be out moving some bugs later today. I might even have to go for a walk as well as a run to move a few others too. And I won't bring them all in your direction Hayley ;-) although I do have my eye on a second garmin marker today but I don't think it is yours!

oh yay, someone has been thorugh and moved the bugs on the main road, which is good as my legs hurt from yesterday's HM and I was debating whether to fetch them or not. Sadly, she's also claimed all the coins and the two traffic lights I wanted that I've missed for the last 3 weeks!
