    Claire. The poster did a huge list of items that they had managed to get for less than a fiver plus delivery. If, and I say If, a company is going to honour a glitch. It won't do so if it looks like some are taking the !!!!. Add to that that suddenly a hundred orders come up with an average price of £4.00, it doesn't bode well.

    Oh dear, A huge list of items, (seven items) For less than a fiver (£6.94 plus delivery) and it looks like some people are taking the !!!!

    Not that its any of your business, but I am the mum to 4 beautiful kids and 4 beautiful adoptive kids, and after a bloody tough year am trying to make christmas cheery for them. At 35 years old I have cancer, had to have my throat ripped out and now breathe through a hole in my neck, my husband was made redundant this summer from his teaching job and times are tough so who the hell do you think you are to judge me and tell me to remove a post?

    Maybe this year someone can get you some tact, diplomacy and human kindness,......... if not maybe you can walk a mile in my shoes then shut the !!!! up.

    I'm really sorry that you have had a tough year. I really hope things look up for you. How I'm meant to know about your circumstances I'm not sure. So why that leaves me with no tact,diplomacy and human kindness, I don't know. For what its worth my year healthwise hasn't been great either!!

    However I still believe that 'anybody' who doesn't keep these 'grabbits' on a low key, do not help themselves or others. It just brings unnecessary attention to the glitch. Just my opinion.

    Sorry you've had a hard year, but no-one knows your life story and it still doesnt make a difference to the fact that orders like your get the glitches caught quicker before everyone else gets a go.

    I think you were abit rude.


    On a lighter note I hope some of you get the glitches! x

    And on a lighter note...

    Deck the halls with boughs of holly

    'Tis the season to be jolly
    Tra la la la la la la la
  • Only came to say the correct amount has been reserved from my account.

    Most people ordering will be buying for their kids and we are all on the these boards because we need to save the pennies or make our money stretch further especially at Christmas. On the other hand there is nothing really low key about posting a glitch on the grabbit board lol

    It's the festive season let's not fight and wish each other well instead. If we are lucky and orders are honoured perhaps we can celebrate together by raising a mince pie and a hot toddy fa la la la la... la la la laaaa )
    Comping wishlist for 2017
    1. Family holiday 2. Christmas presents :rudolf: 3. Fishing stuff
    The more you put into life, the more you get out

    Personally I find any stranger who posts

    "Why don't you delete the post and be a clever boy. More chance you will get it.

    Then I'll delete mine"

    in an unprovoked manner to be rude. You don't need to know my personal circumstances to use manners. We have a saying that you "take your victim as you find him" in British law. If you jump out and scare an old guy with a weak heart and he dies you are just as responsible for his death as if you knew about his weak heart. Just because you didn't know of my life doesn't mean you shouldn't have used your manners in your origional post.

    Not that you could care less. This isn't an agony aunt site either, its for people trying to save money.... which is why i used it. And I only posted to say the items that I had got to go through on the deal. Totally on topic.

    Its stebiz who chose to send a rude and offensive message totally without justification. When a polite person would have just messaged "by the way I see you're a newbie.... these posts don't help so can you take it off?"

    But then again, you are just giving your opinion, for what it's worth!

    Shall we move on?? Maybe we can both learn something from our posts next time. ;)
