I use a special "slave" email account just for junk/promotional email. I want the goodies, not the spam! I also post a fake phone number if one is demanded

Have just got half way through filling the form out before realising that I don't actually want the book! Got carried away with it being free.

Already sent for mine as I get the paper. The Times aren't too bad when it comes to freebies, they just tend to take a while to arrive. I got a packet of Thompson & Morgan Salad leaf seeds from them recently for just the cost of a second class stamp to send the form in but they took weeks to get here. I got 3 bottles of wine free from them as well a while ago, all you had to pay was postage, think it was about £6, so not really free but £2 a bottle's not bad! Do still get mailings in the post of wine offers from them but you can always just put them in the recycling bag like I do & emails do have a delete button (which I regularly use).

Got mine a few weeks ago, I think it took about a month to arrive (the book ,not the invite to your mum's 70th NOG - sorry not seen that around!).I unwrapped it looked at the tiny print & the big thick book & said to O.H. - 'here, I sent for a book for you' Might get round to reading it myself one day.
