FREEBIES - Did you get yours?

:mad:

Funny isn't it?

Out of all the FREE items I've signed up for, I'm lucky if I get 1 in 20 items, but emails from the companies, yip, they arrive no problem every time!

Sorry if you've looked expecting something free, but do you have the same problem?
:think: Can anyone explain to me how to put a signature here? :think:

    I've had loads of free stuff actually, my favourites are my froggy mousemat and lynx click counter. I've had to buy clickers for work before and they were £10 for a plastic one. Only one or two things I've sent for never arrived. Maybe I'm just lucky

    The only ones I never get are the tampons and veet waxing strips. Have applied for both LOADS of times!
    There may be others that don't arrive, I apply for so many that I forget. It's always a nice surprise when they get here.
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)

    Actually, I've sent for both of those and never received them. Don't know why they still offer the freebies if they can't cope with demand.
