| There's no saying means you are speechless and can't say anything to describe what is going on. |

Hi Blazya
To me the sentence means "It's difficult to imagine or anticipate what sort of creative or unusual ideas they will have next."
Does that help?

Hi
The idiom "there's no saying" means that 'it is not possible to anticipate or judge something' or simply 'it is not possible to say'.
I think yo's explanation fits the first test sentence (Mike). "You just can't believe what they'll think up next" means that whenever they think something up, it's hardly possible to believe what they've done or thought of doing. What they do is always so surprising/unexpected/unimaginable that you may well end up speechless.
Therefore, Jane's response is to agree that it's not possible to anticipate or imagine what they will do next: "There's no saying (what they will do next)."

Hi Torsten;
Think up means create or initiate?

Hello,
Could you explain me, why don't we use "There's no believing"? When should we use it?
Thank you in advance. |

| bought vs brought | using 'in' or 'for' in this case to replace 'since'? |
