« on: January 30, 2009, 09:45:04 »
J Parkers are giving away 80 flower bulbs free, just go to their website and click on "Promotions" and enter FR11 into the box then fill in address etc. Better be quick.

Just got an circular e-mail from them saying they ran out of bulbs, so not sure if I'm one of the lucky ones or not.  The system accepted my order, so fingers crossed.

Well I didn't even order the bulbs and I got mine today.  When I went to the website they said that the offer was no longer valid so I ordered a couple of cheap flowers, got some free pulsatilla, then found I also had some free bulbs.  I've managed to get 18 plants and 80 bulbs for less than a fiver.  ;)
