  • £50 you should be able to get at least £100 by preying on the desperation of genuine people wanting it <sarcasm>

    £100?! Really???! As much as that??? Wow. To be honest I'd settle for £75 ono? Wouldn't want to take the mickey
  • My friend got me one in the end because I was at work and not near a BAB anyway, and she was going shopping! She said it was 2 for £10 too, or £14 each.. madness. Sorry for those that didn't get one :(

    Thank you Aidy.

    I got to my local store at 9.30am, to find a queue of like-minded women in front of me. I asked for a girl one only to be told it was £14 each or 2 for £10, however, I'd assumed I could get one for £5.

    By the time I'd got the front of the queue to pay, they'd given out every gingerbread girl and boy, even the ones on display.

    A women bought 2 of each, she thought she was being a bit greedy until the sales assistant told her she could've had a maximum of 10!

    The sales assistant said she didn't anticipate such a demand...

    It was madness, took me over 30 mins just to get their certificates, (lets hope my kids appreciate it!!)

    Feel very lucky to get them, and I know the kids will love them to.
