    What a lovely post :T

    I think it's a great idea to show the bargain bringers how they have made a difference to our lives.

    I too have gotten some great bargains from reading this section, I've saved a small fortune and my family have ended up with much nicer gifts than if i'd have spent what i've spent through here on the high street - plus i'd have got cold and wet. My OH got made redundant in October (out of the blue with no real pay off) he's got another job now but we went 8 weeks with no wage coming in and this Christmas looked very bleak - until I started to read the grabbits...

    I wrapped up the presents earlier today and I couldn't believe how nice (and expensive) everything looked. If only they knew :rotfl:

    Thank you everybody who posts the bargains. :beer:

    Honey - it happened to my dh too - he was out 6 weeks - the most frightening time ever - only started back 2 weeks ago and I was terrified about Christmas amongst other things - with having 2 little ones I didnt know what we were going to do - back to the old days of an apple and orange - instead thanks to this site - they have much more than an apple and orange although they will probably find one of each in their stockings - we usually do include this and then the stories come out from grandma and grandad about their day - lol

    Anyway I too think this is a wonderful site - the majority of the people are fab and through them I have been able to wrap lots of lovely presents without the bank balance having taken toooo much of a hammering - obviously still trying to be careful as the redundancy took us so much by surprise

    Thanks to all - Happy New Year xxxxx

    Just wanted to add my thanks to all the great bargain hunters. I also have managed to get great presents for a lot less, and i'm so excited about giving my gifts out. I totally love this site and would also like to say thanks to the codes and vouchers section too. I would like to wish everyone a happy, healthy and at least half price 2010xx

    What a lovely post OP. A big thankyou to everyone on here from myself and my family. I too am not strapped with cash (full time student and mother), but thanks to this site, have saved fortunes. This site makes everything more possible, and to see my children open their presents on christmas morning, to presents I never thought I could get them is priceless. Cannot thank everyone enough.

    Also ditto what someone else has said, I too am addicted to this site now! ;-)
