Last week 20,000 out of 25,000 bars had been opened and only 2 pairs had been claimed, a week later and pretty much every oxfam has sold out and there’s still 3 pairs yet to be claimed! I think the other 3 pairs are in the process of being sold on and will be claimed by the highest bidder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that is a risk with the golden ticket approach rather than having to provide details etc to enter a competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they say if all had been claimed? It would affect sales of remaining bars... or am I just being cynical?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelin Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 I’m annoyed to say the least. A case of brothers cider turned up that I paid £9 to deliver. Cos of my chemo I can’t drink so to add insult to injury zi had to get alcohol free which was only a couple of quid cheaper. I have neuropathy in my fingers is there a trick to actually peeling the code off? It’s taking forever. Not only that the first code I put in says it’s already been used. Out of the box so can only be at their end. I’m so upset I could be sat here for two hours peeling the bloody things off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you safely use a knife to slide under the edge? Or maybe strong sellotape stuck on and peeled back? Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelin Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 I wasn’t a fan of it tbh. I’d have preferred a fruit and nut one. I never want to eat it again tbh. There’s still afew in my area but I’m over trying now. I find it hard to believe we’ve had all those winners I feel there’s been more tickets as prizes this year yet no big fanfares on social media. It’s all abit quiet really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like I’ve been doing umpteen times a day with that bloody prime drink There was quite a few bars left surprisingly! There was an Oxfam and Oxfam book shop next door to each other, both had about 10 bars left. Felt ridiculous buying more than 5 though. We only need one ticket so will try another shop that I’ll pass on my way home from work next week. Gotta keep trying 🤞🏻good luck with the Prime 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely nout A deliberate 40 mile round trip, or were you doing other things while on that journey, may I ask? If it was just to get those 5 bars, then I think that my head's going to explode. No way can I fully compute that notion. Please put me out of my misery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had nothing else on this morning and a half hour drive each way doesn’t bother me at all. Shorter than my commute to work each day and was a nice little town to wander round.
