So, did anyone get any bargains?

I'd especially love to hear from anyone who was lucky enough to get a crap POS 'Polaroid' TV, or a last gen iPad...'lol'.

If they do this over a few budget, bottom of the range tv's, what the hell would they do if the food supply is ever broken ?

Much the same I guess.

What a load of s. My FB feed has jut been full of it today, bigger scummers dragging TV's off down the shop with other scummers attached to the other end of said TV. In some ways humourous, in others desperately sad.

Well I got it completely wrong. I thought it was "Black Up Friday".

Didn't go down well.

is there evidence to back up the claim that a Polaroid TV is, to quote, "a crap POS"

Oh FFS, are people that hard up for a fking telly?
I bought some fancy new fridge freezer this time last year and to get rid of my old one I put it up for sale on a local For Sale page on Facebook for £30.

It was a decent model in good, clean working order, but I couldn't give a toss about the £30 I just wanted someone to come to my house and take it away so I didn't have to do something with it.

I got a call pretty much right away off a lady who desperately wanted it as her last fridge had just broken and she was having to store her food outside to keep cold, but as she explained, she didn't have £30 until she got paid in 3 days time, and could I hold it for her until then.

I felt so sorry for her at I told her to just come and get it for free and not worry about the £30. She got a lift off someone and came and got it.

It kind of put things in perspective for me that someone didn't even have £30 to their name to buy a used fridge and was storing food outside.

She was absolutely delighted by it.

a few years back our cleaner was upset having just had a bill for £30 for her washer.

TBH I didn't know how to handle it, I'd have gladly given her £30, but didn't want to make her feel bad. So we asked her to do a deep clean on the whole house so she could earn it. She was over the moon we offered her the extra work. I still wonder if I should have just bunged her the cash.

What on earth is the point in that?

I can't imagine anyone will be popping into Asda to do their weekly shop today, see that "deal" and thing "fk me, I only came in here for some spuds and milk, but what I really need is a £3.5k quad bike".

My last cleaner asked if she could do Monday to Friday as she didn't do weekends... I asked why, she said "I drink weekends" smile

Stupidly I employed her, disemployed her a week later when I found her "tired and emotional" sprawled on our sofa having cleaned the oven and walked a mixture of grease and oven cleaner all round the hall and lounge cream carpets,which she denied doing, even though the footprints ended at the sofa she was collapsed on...

She blamed the cats when I pointed this out to her smile
