    it's not about sounding mean. he has already said he does not know if he is breaking any rules and sorry if he is! :mad:

    anyway I have no time for journos. have seen how they twist what peopl say and interpret it their own way to sexify up the article and get more readers.

    the last thing we want know is ts to turn round and say, tell you what no manufacturer's coupons, just our own and same with everyone else.

    I was approached a few months ago, via pm on MSE, from Take-a-Break Magazine about my wombling. They wanted to do an article on "thrifty mums". Offered me £200. I declined.
    Love, through the trees, past the sky, beyond the northern lights; and I won't let go. May your soul and spirt fly sweetheart x

    ah but there is 2 ways at looking at it, it was probably on freebie board and got selected for newsletter or yes, they have run out of samples but have now raised awareness of their company and hopefully their business grows and grows from curious people trying their products.
