Well I didn't bother getting any cereal today. Never got my list in order today, aforementioned OH being the main reason

Don't have the brain power to try and do it now, think I'll leave it 'til tomorrow and hopefully I'll get myself more organised.

evening guys and gals

just wanted to warn you when planning your APG shop....I was trouted this afternoon in epic proportions , although depsite being accused of everything under the sun, and being able to prove my innocence....they still refused to accept my APG of £27 from this mornings shop......Compliance Manager,Store Manager and Security Manager...and H/O apparently all saying that I'd taken advantage of the APG scheme and they had the right to refuse a coupon.

I am now £27.xx 'out of pocket'......just in essence for pushing the boundaries in terms of going back twice in one day, buying the same products to regenerate APG etc...

Other than that, I've not broken any rules or T&Cs and I will be taking the matter a lot further, due to the events which took place. I'm not going into detail on here as it doesnt really matter...I just would like to warn others that generating large APGs might not be the best idea....might be better to do 2 or 3 at a time generating a few quid on each one so its less conspicuous, as I sincerely wouldnt want any of you guys to have to endure what I did earlier xx

Had a great afternnon once I got motivated.
First Mr S, beers,shandy n bold, paid with £10 bm and a couple of quid, got £8 bm back.
Next Mr A, fanta, tea, a few other bits, paid with the lovely apg of £20.77 and advised the sa to get her boss who refused it.....she explained that the numbers in the barcode were not the price on the voucher so she couldnt........I explained that if over £10 will appear as 999 and then she knew what she was up against and allowed it....
went back and got lots of £1 soap powder and 37p fabric conditioner.
The man filling the shelves was so lovely, he took me to the reduced stuff and helped me find the fabric conditioner.
Next on to Mr T but can't really afford a £50 shop so will wait a couple of days as want some more coupons to make it really worthwhile already have £12 in till spits.
So just some fruit and veg whoopsies and got home just in time to meet the OH arriving home, perfect.
Hope you all had a good day and get good pp, apg and bms.

Update just got my apg back on tea, muller and pop, £14.47 all good except strawberry muller corners which are same price, all others cheaper in Mr T

Hope HO deal with it appropriately and in your favour
