I actually joined on the 8th September 2002 so I guess you are right, just over a year, Bobbie! It just seemed longer!!! The Daz Plat club can be great - with some items like the Morphing dresses and the new scenery items, you only need to but a couple a month, plus something with the voucher and you have to have saved money. I agree that it is dependent on your actually spending money - but the $1.99 items are often tip-top. And we got Steph and the Freak free, and loads of other freebies too - including the lot when you renew and various club specials. No, I am not earning commission from Daz - but perhaps I should!
