    :T :T AW what a lovely thread I'll need me tissues in a minute!!! Isn't it a weird thing that when people literally have nothing themselves they are always the most generous it seems..When we live in such a material world its gestures like these that restore your faith in human nature...
    I have nothing to offer I'm afraid but am making a special hamper for a dear friends husband who will be on his own with their 5 kids at xmas :(
    Well done all my fellow DFW's:T :T

    I'm not known for my emotions, so I'll just say:
    You're a pretty generous bunch and I wish you all:
    :xmastree: :xmassign: :xmastree:

    You deserve it.

    How kind Minty.

    I couldn't believe what I was reading ss, did the whole of dfw pause before the scroll down revealed the wind up?

    Watch it ss or you'll have the site down,:rotfl: it's been a bit wobbly lately anyway.

    Lovely idea :T
  • What a great thread, and I stumbled on to it by complete chance. It's made my day.

    I also thought it would be nice to contribute. I have a spare copy of Matrix Revolutions (The third one). It was a duplicate gift last year and I've never got round to Ebaying it. Would be happy to send it to anyone who can use it as a gift. Just PM me.

    That's such a sweet idea so I'd like to join in (even tho I'm a MFW I figure I'm allowed to play!)

    I got sent a free sample of Anew under and over eye cream (a little pot of each cream) from Avon. But they make my eyes itch to high heaven! (I've only used a tiny tiny bit so they're still in pristine condition) It's not much but they'd certainly pad out a presents as a stocking filler for someone :-)

    I'll put them in the post for the first person to PM me their name and address :-)
    Comping, freebieing and trying to pay the mortgage off early!

    Ok, not suitable as Xmas pressie as no box, and tiny bit used..... but if anyone wants a 100ml bottle of Amarige PM me & I'll let the Xmas Fairy pick up the postage!!!!
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
