in Freebies gone but not forgotten
If like me you keep forgetting what you've ordered and get a surprise when it arrives then do what I have started doing! I have now created an diary to keep record of what I have ordered, that way I know what I have not recieved aswell.
Its quite handy! You should try it!

    i have a seperate email address to order freebies with incase I get spammed, so I just leave the emails in there but you dont always get emails, so i write them down.

    Yep.I agree with this.

    I don't often apply for the freebies on this board unless I feel I could actually use them (not very often).

    Every now and then I have a spate of entering free competitions I see posted on the competitons board.

    Recently I received a free DVD with a (handsigned) letter saying I'd won a competition. I had no idea what one it was, but the surprise of it and the mystery wondering which competition I'd won made the gift feel that much sweeter.
