Free Accu-Chek Aviva Nano blood meter

Uniscots97

I got one of these for my nephew who is diabetic (He liked the fact this one is more discreet in size and very easy to use). However they sent me 2, the second one I gave to a neighbour's daughter who is also diabetic.

I am sure-you shouldn't be selling it on ebay , a keyring won't help preserve someone's health. Some people are even refused test strips from their PCT. If you are really that bad with money I sugest you look around this site instead of selling medical supplies that people actually need.

You have missed the point of the thread.
a) as of yet no one has been deprived as freebies still available
b) a freebie is a freebie -
c) the item i took went with someone with diabetes.
d) I have questioned the fact I took it in the first place - hence me mentioning it in the first place
e) my post kept the thread alive
f) Why pick on me when MANY others have done without any 2nd thoughts OR charity donation.

The point of the thread was questioning anyone taking freebies that they do not want themselves. Lots do it and maybe we should take a more ethical approach - letting genuine people take what they need. However, its hard to govern. I have started to not even look at things I do not need, or can not fairly sell (such as the keyring I got from Jack Daniels, which I had registered with for discount vouchers).

However, there is an element of "holier than thou attitude" on this thread. We live with with the NHS which we all pay, or have paid towards, and that provide the needy with required equipment. If some have not got them free and absolutely need them then that is an issue for the NHS, NICE and the government/MP's. And there are no reasons that anyone should go without one of these for the need of £6 (if its so important, people would buy it). In that context, all freebies are freebies. If you take any freebies you are probably depriving someone more needy/deserving than yourself. The question really is about taking a judgment for the freebies you take.

I admit it should not have been taken initially and now, I would not. However, this is the point I was raising with you all. I made a mistake, and its about everyone thinking about their actions. I made the comment to raise thought not derision.

Click on the "Experience the Accu Check Nano", wait for it to load (switch the sound off as its quite annoying) and click on ORDER.

It's free to order and I got mine on Friday. Already got it on eBay too, seem to be selling for £10.

:T

As I have said, I wish I ha not taken it as I DO NOT KNOW about the morals of selling them on. But irony it may never have got posted without someone on here who sold it also.

Its a difficult one - its possible that it would not be taken up so well without someone from here advertising it for the company.

Anyway - lets not sit around accusing each other of things but think about how we all "freeby"

Tillymint - i notice you support others involved in ordering things under your name twice and then trying to get way with using them invalidly.
Does that count as greedy people spoiling things???

Mine came yesterday I ordered it for my husband who is type 2,I also think it is disgusting for people to apply for these to sell, leave them for the one's who need them.
