    Oooh please do :) it's just rattled me that people seem to have different standards dependant upon what day it is or what side of the bed they got out of. Examples - ooo look at my stash and then the next person is greedy when they buy lots.

    Wouldn't mind but I dont think mine was greed.

    There is also alot of people moaning about lurkers. Yet when I stated trays and socks were in a store midwinter slated me for it saying oooo how gracious of me to leave them.

    Rant over . Case closed. And apologies to anyone who has been offended in the process.

    And as I keep saying it's not your business if I take 1000 scarves from a shop as long as I pay for them.

    So did that warrant you taking the pi** in your post about you were surprised I had left the trays and socks ? I think not.

    I just feel grieved people (and not aimed at you) have the audacity to make comment on my scarves .........When others blatantly post photos of ridiculous amounts of grabbits that they have gotten out of greed. ( and yes I do appreciate some people get only what they need before anyone else gets on their high horse) The phrase with some people is pot, kettle, black.


    I can fully understand the grievances over perceived greed by some. However, some will have seen that in your own actions over the scarves. Myself included.

    Ok finally got in and sat down to read the thread:eek::eek::eek::eek:

    !!!!!! HAS HAPPENED TO THE THREAD???????????:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Guys, you all need to take deep breaths and calm down. Now don't shoot me......... here goes

    For the sake of a troll and the odd comment on a facebook age you are all running off to form a closed group:(:(:(:(:(:(

    This really saddens me

    1. most of us who work struggle to keep up with this thread let alone other threads on MSE and now a facebook page to keep up with:( (yes i know i know it's for swaps, but why can't we continue to do these via pm??most of us know each other and locations pretty well now)

    2. What happened to the MSE spirit??? What about others who are too shy to post? Are we going to have multiple closed facebook groups for each grabbit on the grabbit board too??

    3. You will never stop people running off to multiple T's to get multiple numbers of items.......it happens will all the grabbits because that's what they are, I've missed pretty much most of them in the last week with my mum ill and working all the hours under the sun but I don't resent people that have had their glitches and DTD's, there will always be another glitch as nikki is always saying.

    Sorry I am not supporting the troll, I just think everyone has rushed off from what used to be one of the kindest most friendly threads where people were happy to share their finds.

    I wasn't fussed that I only got a few scarves -it was enough for me......but I think we all need to accept MSE is becoming more and more popular as is this thread, to selfishly go off and form closed groups while intermittently coming back to the thread to check for other peoples finds who may have not been invited to the closed group does not sit right with me

    Sorry ... I still love you all though......:A:)

    OK............NOW you can all shoot me:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Off to hide under the covers ......off to bed before anyone responds
