Seems fair enough - I would feel slightly guilty if Morrisons took the large APGs as they would have no chance of recovering anything from us - conditional spends at least mean they have a chance of covering costs and smaller profit (it suits none of us if they go out of business). Though I didn't have the same issue with Tesco DTD or Asda APG ... that was self-inflicted .

I have emailed them, they only take other stores conditional spends, eg £5 off £40 spend.

Not apgs

Which makes sense. If you get an apg because morries was cheaper and then you can use it in morries, it means morries are paying out because adsa was more expensive. So the more expensive adsa becomes the more apg you get, the less you would pay in morries.

Can I ask the parents of older kids a question please

Those of you that have put their kids through driving lessons. How many should I be expecting to have to pay for to get a 17 year old girl with zero driving experience through her test?

Taking her out in my own car is difficult as it is not your normal everyday car.

Thanks for any advice in advance :-)

Depends on the individual but rough rule of thumb used to be one for evry year of their age and a few extra. I would say 20-30 - wishe her good luck

Really depends how quickly they pick up the skills. I would think you would need at least 6 lessons before they are up to driving your car - unless you are brave, calm and a very good tutor.

We didn't have a car suitable for DS1 to practice on and ended up buying one as we realised he would never pass his test without some practice outside lessons. He had about 25 lessons altogether + practice with us. DS2 was quicker, I think he had about 15 before his first test, then another 5 before the second. We also went out with him in the car.

What will she drive when she has passed?

Both mine bought their own cars so it is difficult for me to say as we were out daily in their car. Ds had 14 and dd had 20 lessons. My neice didn't have her own car or another to practice and she needed 20 lessons. Dd's friends had an average of 2 lessons a week for between 3 - 5months. It will depend how quickly she picks it up.

Thanks for the quick replies

The idea is to get her something small when she passes, maybe a KA or similar.
