Just spoke to Change4Life and they said that the best option is to wait for News of the World on Sunday, when the vouchers are being launched, or find an Asda store that is stocking the books, again, Sunday being the earliest you will be able to get one.

He apologised for all the server problems, which are caused by high demand on the site.

Gggrrr. Got through the whole questionnaire for the first time, but on the last button got the “Runtime Error” message with a page of computer generated text.

So that means they now have both my email addresses stored, but I still have not “completed” the questionnaire.

Still getting the “Email already exists in our database. Please use a different email.” Very annoying. Tried requesting a new password, but that says not on system.

Luckily I have another email address I can try ….

I will try again now, I guess the webmaster has been busy since starting work this morning after the bank holiday weekend!

I just tried the site and signed up. You have to fill in a questionnaire but it only takes a minute, then the vouchers will be sent to you. I’ve heard the news of the world are to run a promotion too.

How the hell do I get these vouchers? I have spent half an hour attempting to find them. Is this a wind up?

Yes, it is a bit confusing. We also tried to sign up and hit several error messages before being told that our email address is not accepted anymore! Apparently the vouchers will be sent once you sign up to the Swapathon site, but as nobody can access the site due to server problems, we cannot confirm yet.

How do I get these vouchers? I tried that website and I cannot see any information on these vouchers. Is this some sort of wind up? I got 3 kids and was made redundant last year, so these vouchers will really help us all, but I seem stuck. I suspect that by the time I get through on the site or find the information I will be greeted with a message that says “sorry, all 5 million voucher books have been claimed, try again next year”.

Why restrict it to 5 million? Why not just send them out to all families with children? Or, send out voucher books to all households? Maybe the UK Government are not really that serious about helping people to get fit and active and buy healthy food. It’s just a publicity trick.

Sorry to rant. Call me Mr. Angry.
