2 weeks ago i purchased some xmas gifts from a well known toy store. When the order arrived they had sent 3 of the 7 items twice (only cheapish toys)
I rang and told them of their error and was told i could keep the extra items if i could make use of them..whoo i thought. I donated the extra toys to the local childrens charity who collect gifts for disadvantaged local children and felt quite pleased with myself lol
Anyhow today in the post i have just got a £20 voucher for said retailer for my honesty :j:j:j
Just had to share with someone as money has been quite tight this year and the £20 will go towards my youngest sons present, so now he can have the toy he 'needed'
