I nabbed 138 glorious little sticks.

Do you think Ikea realises that so many immature would-be adults steal their pencils? On a shopping trip for Uni supplies my group of friends and I stole 5 of them from every box we came to. A combined total of over 1000 tiny wooden pencils.

More to the point though; how often do you take advantage of available freebies? I'm talking those of you who listen to a careers convention speech by the military just to grab twenty pencils and one of those fuzzy animals on a bit of sellotape. Isn't life fun :D

There's a wonderful forum called spoofee that abounds in people posting free samples. I peruse it from time to time!
