Okay, we went through a few gates over the past few months, Robotgate, Muradgate... but all in all I've never had so much fun internet shopping and really have saved a fortune thanks to the bargain thread.

Thank you Reastie for keeping it going, it felt like a full time job keeping up with the thread at times. I don't know how you managed it.

Also thank you to everybody who participated in posting bargains and helping others find special requests.

Thanks for introducing me to claiming freebies from magazine subscriptions. These have saved me a fortune with the gifts I've had.
Elemis bath milk
Rihanna perfume x2
Oasis watch (which will find a good home through the local toy appeal)
Gift of Murad
Sanctuary goodies
Dove hair sets x2
Body Shop (not arrived yet, but never mind)

Thanks also to the mnetters who posted about the following...
Furby boom (£33)
Elemis body cream from house of fraiser
Make up sets from house of fraiser
The many stocking fillers from China on Amazon
Beer52
The Tesco toy bundles
And all the information about flash sales or codes for money off and free delivery.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.
See you all next year Xmas Grin

Thank you from me too.

This year everyone is going to be amazed at what I have bought as I usually am too stressed to do much but the minimum. However, thanks to Reastie and all who contributed, the presents are much more creative, and I saved loads too.

Thanks Thanks Thanks

Yes, Thankyou reastie Xmas Smile
I've brought so much, but saved a fortune, by watching the threads. I only posted a few times but enjoyed reading them. The bargains that I've got from amazon are brilliant and things I'd never have known about if it wasn't for reastie and the rest of you all Flowers

big thanks from me too.

too many bargains and actually think for all but a voucher for my mum I've bought all my shopping via this thread. cheers Reastie.

still don't know why I bought the 3d plastic pink butterflies, need to find a home for the bird scarf and have two flavourly boxes that need homes!

Oh and to whoever posted the link late last week for the Boden bargain dress - mine arrived yesterday and fits really well, I've gone back and ordered it in blue.
