Use £9 APG to buy more glitching items, APG produced use APG to buy more glitching items - rinse and repeat?
Anon
I haven't even used the £9 APG from a couple of weeks ago yet!
Was going to get OH to use it this weekend, but got scared when people started talking about how the till system has changed and some were being rejected0 -

I've just caught up and now I'm craving crumble!
Happy to see you're still around savvy xDebt free 6th December 2014

if you have a £5 apg and £4 worth of shopping, ask them top top up a gc with £1 or £1.01 as some SA's dont know how to cash 0p, which can cause them to get on the blower to a trout!
you cannot top up a gc and use it to pay the balance in the same transaction (in case u didnt know)
the xmas savers card gives you £6 if you top it up with £144 by tonight. the more u have, the more you get.
ive 20 full ones now so tomorrow, they will all show £150
Now I've actually got the point from your post, and just funny:rotfl::rotfl:. How do you spend the money that's on the GC later though? I did this two years ago, and got the extra £6s, but then spent very very little using the cards - I was using wombles, glitches, APGs over the next year instead - my shopping was virtually nothing and I rarely ever spent anything off the GCs! I've still got one now:o:o (does it work out you lose money if you keep it on there for several years?:think: Could have been in the bank earning interest?). It's good as you put it on today and tomorrow it has effectively given you interest - for just one day of 'saving' - but if you don't then spend it?:question:0 -

I have a 500kg safe. I'm unlikely to 'lose' them.
I have no reason to take them out unless I'm spending them.
my locals put them through manually but there is always a loophole.
why do you need to know if you wouldn't reuse?
Good point about the safe, will get more myself next year. Not sure if I would spend £3000 though unless there are other ways of 'spending'.
I might just be curiousbut was thinking that the new system will prevent reuse.

I am not sure what discussing other groups will achieve. You are all likely involved in various communities in addition to this one where a variety of topics are discussed. This is not an exclusive group where you are not allowed to have friends elsewhere or be a member of other groups. Other groups do not have to let you be a member either ... any site/forum owner/admin or community in RL can allow in who they like.
No point stressing about this, just enjoy being here.

EDIT: No, it's a new one on me too and I can't find it. So, I assume people are just having fun with word games with me tonight. After I only came in to post about some spaghetti:rotfl:.
Thanks Savvy, google reveals it means beautiful, must be some kind of text message abbreviation but I still don't know about other groups.0 -

You lose it after two year.
simply buy a 1p veg with it once a year and you're find.
20x1p veg will attract attention however... and SS tills are terrible for weight that is that low!Good point about the safe, will get more myself next year. Not sure if I would spend £3000 though unless there are other ways of 'spending'.

I can buy other GC's with these. halfords, next, ticketmaster, etcetcetc0 -
