Me too! My last clue would have been I’m just about to spray some up my nose before I head to bed to fend off a cold 😂

Is it cocaine?

Miepmiep · 02/01/2025 12:29

LOL Vignoble. Only OTC drugs here. It was Irish moss/Carageenan moss aka E407.

What happens now?

HarpQuartet · 02/01/2025 12:59

@Vignoble would you like to start a new one?

Vignoble · 02/01/2025 13:01

Hmm.....I have an (erm) interesting one, but not sure how to describe it. I think perhaps mineral in the closest and it certainly isn't animal but could occasionally be vegetable. So, I will proceed...

Mineral mostly sometimes vegetable.....

Can I eat it?

Vignoble · 02/01/2025 13:11

Can I eat it?

No (Q1)

HarpQuartet · 02/01/2025 13:12

Do people use it for playing sport?

No (Q2)

HarpQuartet · 02/01/2025 13:17

Might I have it in my house?

Vignoble · 02/01/2025 13:24

Might I have it in my house?

You may do. Certain categories of people may do. Whether they do or not will depend on their particular circumstances. (Free question).

HarpQuartet · 02/01/2025 13:25

Is it anything to do with health?

Vignoble · 02/01/2025 13:26

No (Q3)

Miepmiep · 02/01/2025 13:38

Is it anything to do with gemstones? Most are minerals but amber is vegetable…

Vignoble · 02/01/2025 13:43

Is it anything to do with gemstones?

Nothing like that. On this one don't go down the ambergris, pearl, carrigeenan road. It's more intangible (but not totally) - mostly it is intangible but some people prefer it to be tangible.

No (Q4)

Miepmiep · 02/01/2025 13:51

Hmm… can you smell it?

Vignoble · 02/01/2025 14:02

Hmm… can you smell it?

No (Q5)

Miepmiep · 02/01/2025 14:49

Mostly mineral, sometimes vegetable.
Largely intangible.
Some people have it in their home, depending on their circumstances.
Not smelly, not edible, not a gemstone, not used for sport, nothing to do with health.

I really should be making the most of a day off to get chores done instead of procrastinating on MN 😂

Vignoble · 02/01/2025 15:07

First clue...for when you and everyone else has done their 'chores'...

I am nothing of value,
But I may be costly when I am fulfilled

My birthday is in this month;
I shall be 26, but nobody will buy me a cake.

MrsTerryPratchett · 02/01/2025 15:14

is it mostly made of water?

Vignoble · 02/01/2025 15:18

is it mostly made of water?

No (Q6)

Although, I suppose you could say it makes something more liquid.

Miepmiep · 02/01/2025 15:43

DS turns 26 this month, hates cake and was very costly! 😂 He was a bit whiffy sometimes during the teenage years though so it can’t be him. He is, of course very valuable, although his net worth must be negative with student loan debt…

Is it Euros?

Vignoble · 02/01/2025 15:48

Is it Euros?

No (Q7)

And for a freebie, it is not crypto-currency either. But the general area that you are considering is the right one.

Vignoble · 02/01/2025 15:48

Interesting - as soon as I posted that last one it flashed up as 'hidden'.

Edited - its displaying now. Just a software glitch I think. (That is not a clue, but it could have been.....).
