V8 drank - hubby put carton in bin, I retrieved it, not wanting to lose out on £1.19, hubby then put it back in the bin thinking he hadnt in the first place!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Lost out on that one. Ah well. better luck next time.

How Lucky am I ?????????????????
I had some bad health news last week (Tuesday), so on Friday was waiting for the hospital to ring me.
This was the day I lost my Postal Order's.
I can't remember the last 'anything' I ever lost, so was more afraid of losing my mind than the money.
I was doing several things at once and was in a real tizzy, waiting for various calls.
Today I saw my doctor, she asked me to call her this afternoon with a tele: number for a consultant I'd seen at the hospital.
You'll never believe it, because I hardly did, but amongst the hospital letters I found the £40 PO's!
In my panic I must have accidently put them in with all the hospital papers. And there I was moaning away at 'tfl'.
Good news is ...............after all this weeks bad news, and thinking they'd gone anyway...............I'm going to Blow the money tomorrow on things I don't need
Just wanted to share that with you all.

Well done LilacLillie for finding the postal orders- I'm so relieved for you. Now go and spoil yourself with something nice!

I don't mind TMFs where you have to write over X number of words (I don't mind elaborating) but hate the ones with, say 15 words maximum. Do they think they'll get a great answer like that?

LilacLillie

That is so cheeky! In the old days of TMF's, all you had to do was send your name address and till receipt. Much easier/better.
They've made it '?? words or more', so that people won't bother to send off for them.
I think making the effort to send off in the first place should entitle you to the refund. It is a promotion after all.

Really !!!!!! off this week - I got Dr Beckerman's Rescue Oven TMF returned cos I wrote 12 words instead of 15 (my fault I know) so I wrote them an 81 word essay about why I didn't like the product. This morning I got the Heineken TMF returned cos there was no valid date on the receipt !! I sent a standard Tesco receipt with the date and time on the bottom of the receipt - so suggest if anyone else is doing the Heineken TMF that you highlight the date as well as the product. So infuriating........

Congratulations to LilacLillie for finding the postal orders - I can really imagine how annoyed you were when you thought you'd lost them. Hope next week is an improvement for you and you get some good luck now.

I've split these posts from the main Try Me Free Hunt thread on the Freebies board, as this has become an interesting discussion in its own right!
