    Giveaway started: 14 October 2014

    wtd_icon.gif What's this about?

    We've teamed up with chocolatiers Thorntons and have blagged 60 boxes of their 60th Anniversary Continental Box (RRP £15, current price £10) to give away.

    wtd_icon.gif What to do

    To try for one, just reply to this (click on 'post reply') and say:

    "Gimme free Thorntons!"



    To do this you need to join the Forum (if you haven't already, when you click reply you'll be taken through the process. It's free, of course).

    APPEAL: Please ONLY reply to this thread if you will check your private messages NEXT week (Fri 24 October).

    Bear in mind 180 names are being picked and there are only 60 boxes (because sadly not everyone gets in touch, so doing it this way helps to speed up the administration process), so you'll have to get in quick.

    Also, please DON'T email in, as your name won't be counted. Nor include your contact details in this thread as, for your own safety, we don't allow personal details on the public forum so your post may be deleted.

    This giveaway appears in the weekly email (if you don't already get the email go to www.moneysavingexpert.com/tips) and will close at 11am on Tuesday 21 October, so please get your posts in before then.

    The giveaway has a strict one entry per household policy and entries can be deemed ineligible without any explanation or notification.


    wtd_icon.gif Info from Thorntons


    Much-loved British chocolate maker Thorntons has a very special new range of Thorntons famous Continental chocolates this year, as it celebrates its 60th birthday.

    Thorntons has launched a very special Birthday Box (RRP £15) along with a Continental Collection Box (RRP £30) that brings back four exquisite recipes from years gone by, including Apricot Parfait and Brandy Noisette.

    How will the people be chosen?

    180 people will be picked at random (we've a special little computer programme to do it) and a private message will be sent to each of their winning usernames requesting their USERNAME, FULL NAME and ADDRESS details (there'll be an email address to send this information to, we don't want it done via private messages).

    The FIRST 60 people to get back to us will win a box of chocolates.


    When will I get the box

    Thorntons will send them out directly though, to aid administration, this won't happen until all 60 winners have provided their name and address. So it may take several weeks between the giveaway's end and actual receipt. This thread will be updated to let winners know when they have been sent out.

    The atmosphere is currently filled with hypocrisy so thick that it could be sliced, wrapped, and sold in supermarkets for a decent price and labeled, 'Wholegrain Left-Wing, Middle-Class, Politically-Correct Organic Hypocrisy'.
