    Wanted to update this as I just noticed something another member wrote about Martin.

    The poster sent thanks to Martin for his maximum level of tolerance with regard to the Argos threads.

    I agree and wish I'd thought about this too. If I remember rightly, Martin wasn't overly comfortable with some of the Argos stuff but made the decision to let it ride for our sakes.

    So thanks Martin! (You're a good bloke, and if I didn't already have children, I would want yours! ;) ;D)

    I know there are a few who have been on here looking for ways to make an easy profit, but the majority of us have just wanted to save some money buying things for personal use. I know my family have benefited immensely, I have been able to buy decent things for Christmas for example, that normally I would not have been able to consider.

    Also think I should add jon_c to this post too. I did send my thanks in another post a while back, but it does no harm to say it again, thank you.

    I would like to thank in public a newbie moneysaver.

    Take a bow sir :D:D

    And thank you to your Mother in Law for thinking Dyson too modern looking meaning you could offer me this one ;D ;D

    This is what this site is about, helping others to save money and as someone has already said this Argos thread has brought out the best and Worst in people. :) >:( :(
    I am not always right,

    But I am never wrong !!

    I'd like to stick my oar in as well (and also bump this up the list a bit ;D) - and say thanks to John_C and Ben500 (who saved me a fortune when my old dyson blew up!!), and also, I have to say a big big thank you to cc25, who sold me his PDA for cost + postage - that was really nice of you, and we've all had great fun playing with it (it cheats at othello though :P)

    I'm off back to argos today to pick up hedge trimmers, so there's still stuff out there - I have no idea what I'm going to do when this finishes, seems to have taken over my life!!
  • I am bumping this back up after reading some of the more adverse posts of people bagging multiple bargains.

    The people on this list really did help and there are MANY more ;D

    we have 8 kids and i'm really grateful for all the help i've had from this thread.
    some people are greedy but it is lovely to hear of people helping each other.
    Every day above ground is a good one ;)

    Must confess I havent been too involved with the Argos thread after the initial week due to work , but did skim through the postings once every few days.
    However must place on record Stumpys massive contribution to the thread(in the form of those massive collated lists, that kept a lot of interest going among MSEers!)

    Thought I'd resurrect this in  order to thank

    Ben500 for his kindness in getting me a bargain for the same price he paid for it.

    Thanks Ben.

    Ooh - just noticed I'm into triple figures !!!!

    When do I qualify for my third star ??
