Are people counting the £150 Paintball "win" in their 2008 challenge?

    I'm just wondering if I'd use them or not... my boyfriend would love to go paintballing but not sure I'd have the money before July to book.
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    Although I haven't won anything for ages, I'm not counting this, just like I didn't count my Skoost wins.
    Will give it to my Nephew though he might go with some mates??
    Comping again - wins so far : 2 V festival tix, 2 NFL tix, 6 bottles of wine, personalised hand soap, Aussie miracle conditioner :beer:

    Im not counting it - mine went into the bin and if it was really worth £150.00 i would never throw it away. What a con!!

    I counted my last win as I'd seen people count theirs but having got another one today not sure whether to. I probably wouldn't have counted the last one if I wasn't in the £2008 for 2008 to be honest, nor the Esprit vouchers or any 'money off' voucher really.

    Hmmm......will see how my totals are nearer the end of year and might take all the 'money off voucher' type stuff off my totals :)

    I spoke to my DS about this earlier ( he's in the armed forces, so I only got a text before) He's over the moon with this 'win'.

    He does have his own gear now, which he bought because of this £15 payment, but he say's it will be great for his mates.

    He has a twin 'pump' gun and is fire crazy - his words, and he spends about £50 on the balls.

    He say's lunch is a bit carp, but it's food. He also said it's one of the best day's out you can have.:eek:

    I was browsing through the DVD section of Smiths and saw the DVD for Rambo! Guess what was advertised on the cover, via a small sticker? Up to £180 off at National Paintball.. yeah...
