    Mine arrived in the post this morning; has anyone else got theirs yet?

    They're a teeny bit too big for my hands but they're lovely and soft inside though :)
    I have the mind of a criminal genius. I keep it in the freezer next to Mother....

    Got mine thru yesterday, too.

    Too small for my hands and in a lovely shade of RED.

    Gripper palms and jersey backed. Good make.

    Now at least I won't have to squirm when the missus prunes her (Deadly) roses. They cut me every time!

    Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

    I've got a great tip for gardening gloves...by normal gloves from charity shops, they fit far better, wash well and when they wear out, buy another pair for 50 pence.... hope this benefits someone...

    Got my gloves yesterday, a green pair. Quite comfy and medium sized -- a good freebie even if I do say so myself! Well I would as I posted it! lol

    Watch out I was just caught out. The guy asked me where I saw the offer. I said on a web site, but didn't mention it was MSE. He asked was it a freebie one. I was caught unawares and didn't know what to say, so I said yes. He said they were trying to put a stop to this as the offer was only available to readers of the mag. (He knew I hadn't read the mag). So when asked, where did you here of the offer, say in the mag of course! I felt a little embaressed, so I said "If you'd like to send me some litterature about the magazine (with the free gloves of course!), then I might well be tempted to read it/buy it" Fingers crossed for the gloves!

    This is not quite easy now....
    brother tried this morning, and the man asked all sorts.
    whats on the front page, how far have you read the mag, describe some of the content, u subscribe etc etc.
    he said this was due to some posting on the website:):):)
    the bottom line is he got it.

    EEEEKKKK!!!!

    Phoned to order a pair and the man wanted the code, which I gave, but then he said did I have the magazine in front of me because they have been getting lots of calls due to a posting on a freebie site and he wanted to be sure I actually had the magazine. I thought he was going to test me on it by asking questions about different articles!!!

    Thought quickly and said I was at work calling and the magazine was at home and if he didn't believe me would he like me to phone back later from home. He said no that's fine, so hopefully he is sending me a pair.

    Are we all turning into wicked, devious people?
