    Oooh, that sounds easy!! I have to confess I don't understand it all, but am hoping to pick it up as I go along. Hopefully it'll make the GP more worth watching than it was last year??

    Can't say I followed it anymore closely. I needed 1500 and ended up with 4800. Still only got £15 quid of vouchers plus £3 as they had a foo foo at start of it.

    This year max is £20. There are other prizes but I was happy with mine

    Did you use you're on rewards or train tickets? I'm trying to work out the best way to redeem them (I use train max once a month but usually have rsh evouchers to cover it)

    So £50 APGs are ok now? £70? £100? Might as well reach for the sky.
    This time last year or whenever it was? someone who is so hated on here because they generated £30 odd APGs, nearly caused WW3 :huh:

    ...yes it's all within the T&C but really? Talk about drawing attention to it?

    No one seems to play the long game anymore :( a steady APG that will pay out and keep paying out if you don't take the !!!! :(. I sincerely hope Asda wise up and put a cap back in place on the APG.

    I know of 2 people already who have had accounts suspended for this.....it's really stupid and really greedy and I don't care if Im unpopular for saying so :(



    Conscience is killling me now - I have done a similar order. :eek::eek:

    It's all good for the NSD though :D

    That's fantastic that you are going back to college..was this the news you were waiting for ?! :) I wish I could get the courage up and go back to college..maybe I will one day :)

    Yes I went for interview last week and they said they were recommending me for
    a place but would send a letter if I was successful.

    It was OH moaning at me trying to encourage to try and progress. I did a years college couple of years back but didn't want to continue after first year, ?I really enjoyed it and surprised myself at my grades.

    I know its going to be hard and I'm worried already. My kids are grown so going forward its got to be about me now.

    I hit the big 40 this year so maybe thats spurring me on
