As Broclo said, it doesn't really matter what anyone thinks of KJ's actions tonight as it was her decision to make, but I personally think that many people would have just bought up the lot themselves (especially as she IS pregnant!!) so thank you for sharing with some expectant/new mums! (I'm neither so quite impartial!)

For those disappointed they missed out, you win some, you lose some-well it's a bit like a gameshow: you came here with nothing so you've not lost anything .

Regarding posts about lurkers vs posters, I don't think anyone thinks that everyone here only falls into the two extremes of

1 never posting and grabbing 120 of every item and ebaying them
or
2 posting all night and sharing loads.

There are plenty of people who just can't keep up with the thread or just don't find time to post or aren't lucky enough to find lovely bargains to share. Nothing can be done about people abusing the glitches really but I think we can safely assume that most people who read this thread, posting or not, are genuine money savers who just want a couple of bargains or good value pressies for friends and family. <group hug!>


Oooh that ended up being much longer than I intended, feel free to ignore!!

Think hubby would of divorced me if i bought any more nappies lol......i got for sis in law and 2 x best friends and the 3 boxes didn't fit through the door nearly :rotfl: :rotfl: Had to tell them to pick up today or else. Roughly 20 packs of nappies in a huge box.

You should let me know what other bits are handy for them, as I have other bits from A&*$ that could be of use?

broclo - you really are a saint. I'm thinking of doing some more charity work come November and what you are doing has given me a few more ideas on how to help!

Well I know some refuges are funny about donations due to security/location issues as I found out from someone who pm'd me recently. Mine only are ok as I used them myself.

My local is greatful for anything, but they love baby stuff as many women have youngsters with them, then it is mainly the basics like teeth, washing, hair etc

Saying that - they have 20 rooms at my local so have started saving a gift type thing x 20...only 2 to go now. Thought that wrapping 20 bits like elle gwp, no7 gwp etc(accessories hat boxes you picked up lol) that are free would be a nice something for the ladies on xmas day.

KJ - whatever your best intention, I think holding a bargain back for those you deem most worthy - and then telling the whole thread you've done so! - only makes the thread more cliquey.

Happy days. <smile>

I held back the glitch until I knew it was safe to reveal. This meant I waited until it was delivered to my door, which it was today at 5pm when a neighbour informed me you have a delivery at ours.

I asked those that are pregnant, just had a newborn or were an aunt, granny, friend of a mum to be to pm me ..........to let me know as no point revealing a glitch to those that really had no need for newborn nappies or premature nappies.

So I don't see that as me deeming them to be the most worthy, I deem them to be the people who the glitch is relevant to.

All the other glitches you named can be used by all, bar the Tena Lady it appears......but I am sure some tena ladys are being used as loft insulation at the moment.

I made the right decision. And my point was proven when the huggies sold out in an amazing 30 seconds. It literally was a GRABBIT.

And the code is in the boots mag for all to see, so not something that I found by mistake. It can also be used in store too. So potentially this is a glitch we can all do and have the opportunity to do over and over again, if we need to.

Happy Days.

Think I can definately sort you out then. Will put all my A%^& stuff in a box and you take what you want hun. Those gift sets for xmas for those ladies sound like a brilliant idea. So generous of you as always.

Not sure about that....can be a devil too lol

If you have spare bits that are good for xmas I was speaking to someone at my local council run nursing home the other day and they said 4 residents actually did not get xmas presents as they had no surviving relatives etc so sometimes the smallest things can make a difference to them
