    If you read my post it said 'some of the above posters' I suggest you read threads correctly before in your words 'mouthing off.'


    I did read it and you said some of the above posters.
    For a start you were replying to Bogoff Babe, the only other 2 posters were magoogy and myself and in my honest opinion some means more than one.....so who is this mysterious other poster if not me??????????

    I used Country too. And like other posters, only bought vouchers, and NEVER sold to others. It was an easy way for somone not good at saving to have a decent christmas without feeling the need to get into debt.

    Not everybody is able to put a few pounds a week away, or buy a couple of tins. I currently hae a couple of bottles of plonk and some biscs, but honestly every year I try to be better prepared, but there's always some emergency to take my meagre savings, or a party or whatever to absorb grub or booze.

    The vouchers are an easy way to save without borrowing early (hopefully). If you use a reputable company you earn a little bit of commission; not as much as interest, but every little helps.
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    I am an agent for Farepak Hampers, and have been for about 10 years, have never had an problems.

    I never order Hampers, only vouchers, my customers are family, friends, and lots of work mates. My average voucher oder is usually above £5K, I do get a fair bit of commision, which I use to supliment my income at Xmas. All my customers are happy, as they are unable to save for Xmas any other way, they are not forced into getting the vouchers, in fact I'm going to have 5 more customers in 2006, who have begged me to order for them.

    This was a great supliment to my savings when I wasn't working and times were very hard. Now I don't order many vouchers myself, but have stayed loyal to my customers as they have to me.

    With Farepak the vouchers arrive around the 20th October (as long as all the payments are in), so many of my friends etc have already bought their Xmas pressies, especially with the vouchers for £50 and £100 spend being given out at Argos. Everyone is happy.
