    I'd also like to say a big thanks to everyone on MSE.
    I've had some great bargains this year.
    Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you all.

    I'd like to thank everyone on the Grabbit's Board too and, of course the one who made this board possible - Martin Lewis! (Only to mention a few but Tara, Nicole.17 and Claire21, special thanks goes to you for all your wonderful posts and finds!)

    Thank you all so much, your bargain finding has helped me no end, I was made redundant in November (great timing :( ) so all the offers, codes and grabbit's have meant that I have been able to budget my spending but as Dooby said above I can't believe how gorgeous all my presents are for everyone...and the few I have grabbed for myself :D

    Thank you so much to everyone and to Martin. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and looking forward to your company while battling the online sales, lol :D

    I second and third what everyone else has said. OP, what a lovely thought and I have really enjoyed reading this thread. RoxyUK, thank you for mentioning me, I have posted a mere handful of grabbits compared to some grabbit gurus :D but I am touched that you thanked me personally.

    I too find MSE and this board in particular priceless in stretching my budgets... and it is lovely to be able to give such generous gifts to loved ones. What touches me most about this thread is that sentiment expressed by every poster. Everyone is just so excited about seeing the look on others' faces at their Christmas presents and that is really heartwarming. :)

    Just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU!! to everyone on here who has posted deals, especially on the run up to Christmas.

    I'm a single working mum to a 5 year old, who ALWAYS struggles to get the people I care about presents at this time of year, yet for the first time in a long time, I have been able to get some great presents at fab prices, and I know everyone will be extremtly pleased with their gifts (and a bank account that hasnt huge '-' sign in front of it!

    Thank you so much to everyone (Claire, especially springs to mind!).



    As I say, I know this isnt a grabbit, but I wanted this post on here as its the avid grabbit users that have helped me.

    I wish you all a very merry Christmas, and a happy and prosperous and glitch filled New Year for you and your families xxxxx


    Was just coming on to post a note myself but with the time difference you beat me to it. Im living abroad away from my family this year and your board has been invaluable to me over this christmas period.

    I sent money to the family but it is not the same as geting something to open on christmas day. Thanks to the board and all its contributers I have been able to get some great gifts and bargains to send home. Just wishing I could be there.

    I hope you all have a lovely christmas. Enjoy the nice snow you are having just now. (Its 32 here every day. Dosnt even seem like christmas. ).and have a prosperous new year.:beer:
    Now when do the sales start lol. Need plenty clothes for me to bring back here when I come back for a visit beginning of Feb.:p

    I would like to add my thanks too, to everyone not just the OP's of the popular grabbits but everyone who has posted and kept me company throughout December, some posts have been so much fun like the M&S thread and the Boots thread from Friday, I wouldn't have kept my sanity refreshing until the small hours if it wasn't for all you lovely MSE'rs.

    I have been able to get family and friends some wonderful presents at a low cost and couldnt have done it without this site. SO thank you mSE users and posters and big thanks to the man himself, Martin. I think I actualy love you :rotfl:


    Merry Christmas to one and all!
