http://www.readersdigest.com.au/food-and-recipes/chocolate-latte-cotto/article181524.html

I just clicked on the daily clue today and then looked around the website a bit more. On the top right of the page after you log in to the game, there is a 'facebook' tab. I clicked on it and looked and discovered 7 extra clues. I did the first one, which was for a fireplace and found it. I don't belong to Facebook and if I hadn't looked, would never have known. I think it's a bit of an unfair advantage for those who are in Facebook. What do other ACC people think? By the way, I think you can only claim that day's prize with the exta clue if you find it within 24 hours of it being posted.

There were actually 8 extra clues on the Facebook page sorry. The first one, for the fireplace which was posted about 23 hours ago, is: 'This Actor looks good in a Casino'
http://www.readersdigest.com.au/life/renewing-the-bond/article10692.html

The fireplace was yesterdays .... scratch that thought you were saying they get extra stuff.... lol :) Comping is main reason i signed up to facebook and has been worth it prize win wise, I even went and re opened Twitter which i really dont like but did just cause i was missing out on some easy comps hahaha

yes they don't give extra pieces just more clues for that days piece... i couldn't find extra pieces on there :(

The fireplace was picked up the other day....i think the extra clues are to help find that days thing...not for extra things.

Thanks brymad, boxsey and wundergirl, I have realised now that it is an extra clue to help you find the day's item. Silly me lol

Day 25

Item to collect: Fridge
Clue 25: Why don't we feel compelled to clear out our cupboards during winter, summer or autumn?

http://www.readersdigest.com.au/life/spring-cleaning-schedule/article99262.html

I thank you all clue finders very much ... you're all darlings!   :D

Clue 26: Yoga is meant to be relaxing - but why not heat things up a notch?

Thanks blondie1973 :)

Thanks everyone for the clues and links. Anyone had a win with the daily draw?
