    I got 10 free carnation jumbo plug plants from Thompson & Morgan today.
  • Like Flickering Ember, a (Wake Up Wonder) Olay sample that I have no recollection of ordering. As it happens, Wake Up Wonder is a favourite of mine, so this was a nice surprise and very welcome. These 7ml samples are brilliant for weekends away and as an emergency supply in handbags.

    Another one here who received an Olay Wake Up Wonder sample today with no recollection of ever ordering one...

    thats really sad ikennet. theres a lot of folks on the page including myself who would dearly love to win just ONE.. if ppl get greedy companies will stop doing freebies as I have said before,,, we will ALL lose out.

    Do you honestly think I am keeping the koalas to myself? Honestly???

    LOL!! Well the postman DID give me some funny looks with all those purple parcels :D

    All the koalas have gone to their new homes today (my nieces and nephews) - not that I needed to explain myself or anything...;)

    I dont know you personally but yes the possibility is there. Even if its in your family then its still effectively to you in the first instance..

    My answer to you would be yes why wouldnt i think that when some people do? Of course I won't mention that some have been spotted on ebay...:whistle:

    No you dont have to explain yourself but this isnt the first time I have seen you bragging about multiples when its clear all over the net how much there are so many people who would give anything for just one of these items. like I said if freebies get abused companies will stop offering them. I just think it's not very sporting of you

    Ok well firstly, the koalas that are on ebay are not mine so cant help you there.

    About me supposedly "bragging" about multiple bargains.. just look at the title of this thread, what exactly is it that you want me to post if not the freebies I've received? You have picked up on ONE other bargain that I have posted about, and even then I believe that was a deal that was not limited to a number of goodies to giveaway.

    100 koalas in 100 days - so thats 10,000 koalas and I seem to be getting ear ache from you over 4 koalas (I cant be blamed for the 5th one)

    Sounds to me that you're just annoyed because you have missed out. All I can say to that, is you cant win them all (and neither can I!) and just keep trying.

    Personally ikennet I couldnt give a rats behind if I won or not. I entered a coupla times for fun. But i do see on the page that some folk are really upset at not winning. my point is more that if people including yourself abuse these freebies companies will stop doing them. Then everyone on this site and others too loses out..

    I won fair and square, its only you (and perhaps a few other posters?) that deems that I am 'abusing' the giveaway. I have played as per the terms and conditions so really haven't done anything wrong - I've been lucky a few times on this, which by the way NEVER happens to me, but c'est la vie, there are plenty of other occasions where I haven't been lucky at all.

    Hope you manage to get a koala, still plenty of time before the giveaway closes.
