Unfortunately it is not as easy as knowing when your first claim was last month though - in theory if it is rolling you need to know each date you claimed (and amounts) and not claim more than £100 between shop 1 Oct shop 1 Nov, shop 2 Oct, shop 2 Nov etc.

It is then quite complicated unless you had one shop for £100 APG or 4 for £25 each, as no doubt each shop produced different APG values so keeping track will be a challenge.

It probably only affects those Elite maxing out the APG each month but still not the easiest system.

Edit - no, it likely also affects anyone entering more than 10 receipts too!Anon

Jeez - its just about impossible to work out what to do now ! Any info on what other people are doing would be really helpful.

Apologies - pulling myself together - was typing before I put my brain into gear

Expecting a visit now from exDH & his son so having to get myself 'normal'

I've heard that my Boss has said some really horrid stuff regarding my Father being ill :(
Debating whether to give in a months notice & then hope new year offers me new opportunity.
My heart is ruling my head - financially I could survive for a few months & try & find or start a new job

it sounds like you are really under too much stress and you need some breathing space.

me personally this is what I would do - I would make a docs appointment but firstly go into work as normal, then half way through the morning say you don't feel well, put your coat on and leave. Then go to your docs appointment
Tell your doctor how much stress you are under and ask for a couple of weeks sick leave.
Ring work and say you wont be back for a few weeks.
this will have a shock effect on your boss, your dramatic exit.
You then will have a couple of weeks to get things straight in your head and hopefully your dads health will improve a little
It will also give you some thinking time to decide what to do about work - your gut instinct is to quit now but give yourself some time to make a proper decision .

So that fits in with the limit re-setting on the 1st of each month - and someone earlier said their 10 voucher limit also re-set today. Or maybe its all smoke and mirrors and part of A's plan to k-nacker ou fun and games !

I'm not brave enough to try today !

Very happy with that though these are not for me as none are vegan. Only the Jaffa Cake Alpen Light are Vegan friendly. I saw someone tested the Banafee one which didn't work, but can I ask if anyone actually tried the Jaffa Cake one? It isn't online for me at my Asda but can order to a friends address down Southampton if it does work

Snap I'm not too sure what's gone on as I've missed so much on here. You're obviously having a hard time though and work sounds awful, so sorry.m:(

Tweets, poor poppy, really feel for her.

Managed a shower again today and things going in the right direction. Am so desperate to get out tomorrow. Really bored, which is another reason I know I'm on the mend as when poorly I can't do anything.

Need to visit the hairdresser when I get home. A couple of weeks before I came back into hospital my hair started coming out in handfuls. It carried on in hospital, although finally seems to be coming to a stop. I don't think there are any bald patches but it's just got really thin. Most people seem to think its a reaction to what my body has been through over the last 3 months.

W have some reductions on Halloween decorations (torch 99p, sign 69p etc) but not on chocs, snacks and sweets yet.
