How to do it?

I have had such good fun since I found this site and they freebies have started to come through but I have a couple of questions -

How on earth do you keep track of what you have sent off for and
Where do you guys find all these freebies :confused:

    I keep a little note book and write in when I apply for a freebie and then tick off as and when I receive them.

    Cant say how people keep check, I tend to know what I've sent for with the title of the thread, Some arrive others dont :confused:

    I guess you could check to see if you've thanked the OP of the freebie, that way you'd know if you'd sent off for it or not.

    There are lots of freebie sites, some of them you have to sign up to and register with. If you google "free stuff" or "freebies" etc you should come up with loads of links, ya could either do it that way or just wait to see what appears on here as the majority of freebies are found by other posters that way.

    HTH :)

    Im sad - I write mine in a desk diary then I know when Ive sent for them, and when I can re apply i.e Nikwax quiz every 3 months

    I also note the email addy I use so I can try again with another.

    Also useful if you send for lots of 3 x £1.00 mags as you know which ones you sent and when to cancel
    Thanks to everyone who posts comps :T
