    Does the starter token count as one of the seven tokens?
    Thanks in advance.

    I can ONLY do Mondays or Tuesdays ... managed to send off four (different addresses) ... one has come back so far and it's ... a Sunday 5th April.

    Mmm. I thought you would be more likely to get a Mon or Tue.

    Last year only got (useless to me) weekend days

    Grrrr

    But still got three more cracks at it this year

    Second one back, and again a Sunday ... 30th March.

    2 out of 4 come back, and no good ... grrrrrrr

    Hoping for the best on the others.

    Is there a website where you're allowed to swap dates with people?

    I think last time people swapped on the paid to shop forum. I remember joining paidtoshop just to swap coupons with somebody.

    There are probably people with children who'd prefer a weekend date, so fingers crossed for you :)

  • oooh, I haven't got mine back yet :( posted last tuesday.

    Perhaps those who've received theirs selected earlier dates so have recieved them quicker?

    I'm hoping for a weekday, wednesday, thursday or Friday and NOT in school holidays!
    Planning to both take the day off work and spend a night in the hotel too as we're so far away... fingers crossed...
    Good luck with your dates everyone!

    Hi
    Yes, they prioritise the groupings from the closest first. So hopefully you will sat at the front when they get to your batch

    In the end, we decide if we're remembered for what happened to us or for what we did with it ;)

  • DD got her tickets on Friday (just 3 days after mailing tokens off) for 31st March which was the day she had really wanted but you couldn't ask for specific dates - what are the chances?
    One very happy daughter :rotfl:

    Congragulations, that sure was lucky. I haven't got mine yet but then I only sent my vouchers on Monday. I don't care what date I get as I'm very flexible and can get whatever day of I need if it's a working day. Over £70 saved on a trip we do every year
