    Not the worst............but useless now as i have that many off them LOL

    Got another 4 of british gas the other day, and 4 off EON. I must have a least 30 in the cupboard and all my lights have them in :rolleyes:

    They just keep coming, and with the long life span I don't think I will ever run out.

    I've given loads away...but the just keep coming LOL

    :eek: 184 days til Christmas :eek:



    E-bay is your friend :rotfl:
  • I was going to say the bulbs too. Not because we've had loads of them but the two we did have arrive arived in a very battered flimsy cardbaord box, in pieces. :confused:

    Postcard perfume samples, they are useless because you cannot spray them on yourself!
  • The 'redbush' tea sample off the permanent freebies board - tasted like drinking the contents of an ashtray!

    After a high school assembly this guy handed everyone a bible, needless to say I took mine without a word of thanks and put it straight in the bin.

    All the promotional pens I have got free have actually been more reliable and less prone to bursting from standard bics :)

    one of my best was the box of chocolates at christmas personalised with a messsage and photograph, brill. my husband loved them as the photo was of our boys with a message 'happy christmas daddy, we love you'!! top qality.

    the other great freebies are the guinness ones, the rugby one was excellent, brill t-shirt, glass and calendar. ive just signed my mum up for the barbecue one!!! said my mum drinks quite a few pints of the stuff, she is 71 and nearly had a fit when i told her, she said she bets it gets delivered the day the vicar visits!!!!!

    sorry for rambling


    :A
    Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad, is a full minute of happiness you'll never get back.. :p:p

    why did you take it? i love free stuff-but try to only take things i can use-or know someone who can....don't mean that to sound mean-just might have been someone else who missed out because they had all gone
