    I went with option 1 for all answers.

    It then lets you go back through the answers you got wrong so i chose option 2 for all of them

    Then i went back through and selected option 3 for the ones i got wrong on both tries

    It takes no time at all to get 10/10 if you do it that way

    And did you win a flight that way please?

    It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.
    The world is full of people throwing stones at us. Its what you do with them that counts. Build a wall or build a bridge.

    You can play over and over until you win. The £60 code is the lowest reward for anyone who scores 10/10.

    My first two goes gave me the £60 off code. My free flight was on my 3rd 10/10. But as that's the top prize it won't let me play again

    Are you saying you dont want him di:D



    He says he likes dogs, but never takes any notice of Harley. He is on his way :rotfl: if you dont like him, just send him off even further, not back this way though :D



    Oh god dont say that I got to keep him until then :mad: I think I may move out..

    We do nothing for him, at all, dont give him a penny, (even though just taken him to mexico on holiday and bought his girlfriend a pandora charm as a preset) but hey ho. I only asked him why he has got 1 shift at his new job. He gave a job up doing 4 shifts to 1 shift for lower pay, but its all my fault :eek:

    Poppy will make sure he likes her she loves humans :D
