I have recently opened a draw to find reddies spilling out all over the place. I'd forgotton exactly how many I had (15 in total) from FAD wins and also buying things from SR. In the interests of clearing up the house, I would like to get rid of them and put them to good use at the same time.

The question is that on the back of the Reddy is a short set of instructions saying that I have to buy something at the same time as trading them in for a free gift, yet on the website (here) it says you just have to send them to the address, with no mention of having to buy something. Which one is correct? And can I use both FAD/GAD reddies and normal ones together?

Thanks!

Ok, I will get Fur Fighters, Dave Mirra BMX and Turok I think, and I'll send a cover note saying 'Dan told me to do it...'

Perhaps I should add: 'Got any problems? Speak to Tony, he'll sort it. Nudge Nudge....'

LOL.... atleast you got your beer....! :)

*Dav1d looks at the stop watch, 21 seconds, he zooms off in his chair through the door, back into the house, through the hallway, into the kitchen back to the computer..., but didnt he forget something?....THE BEER!....25 seconds, quick handbrake turn, through into the kitchen grabs the beer from the fridge while spinning a 180 turn, dislocating his arm from its socket..., back through the kitchen and back to the computer in 26 seconds flat!...., OH MY GOD, his arm had been dislocated from his body and had been left lying on the floor of the kitchen!....what will he do?.....*

to be continued..... again!

LOL!!!!!

I think a fridge in my room would just about overload the circuit!!! Currently running 'bout 8 appliances off one socket, can't be safe!! Oh well!

*Whooo!'s mum enters the hall, looks at Whoo! lying unconcieus in a heap under a bloody rolly chair and leaves, she returns sometime later with a cold beer and places it in his hands, at least I wont have to roll across the bloody living room, dining room and kitchen!!*

LOL.... I could just imagine you trying to do that! :-)

Maybe you should invest into a fridge and put in your room...

That way you wont even have to roll.... you can just reach for the beer!...

Hangon... Im pretty thirsty...

27 seconds to beat!

*Dav1d starts the stop watch, pushes off the wall accross the floor knocking down everything in his way, 360 wheel spin, manages to keep control of the chair, takes a sharp right through the hair pin into the kitchen, alert at all times looking for the quickest route to the fridge, into 5th gear, slams on the brakes, slides past the fridge, through the hallway, out the door, onto the road knocking over a tramp on the way, car heads towards him, chair stalls, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............*

to be continued.................

Er... I phoned some SR guy about a month ago with the same question... he said you don't have to buy anything... just send them in with a cover note saying which free gift you want...

Simple... well it has to be if people like Bonus and Sheepy are customers... :D

What would we do without them?! :)

Heehee, I should try that. Sounds like fun!

*Whooo! decides to give it a try and rolls out of his bedroom, across the landing and attempts to descend the stairs. At this point Whooo! goes head first bouncing on every stair on the way down, finally landing in a heap in the hall. Followed shortly by a bloody rolly chair*

Bad idea!
