Thank you. Good morning everyone. I'm still a bit shaky. But have read all the comments. Sorry to have brought the thread down etc. I hope someone will get something from my story. It could happen to others.

I agree with your post above. Its me putting my hands up. I was on here boasting about my cobra stash. I was warned about large apg's. But I honestly forgot about the 100.00 per month limit. It was at the back of my mind, but using different email addresses, seemed a good loop hole. I was comfortable with what I was doing and did not think in a million years, I'd get banned. However, since yesterday, I have stopped being comfortable. I will not be contacting head office, even though I know I could. Because I genuinely broke the rules and I deserve what I got.

I am very worried about loss prevention people writing to me. Thank you for that link earlier in the thread by the way. Its another thing I'm now worried about.

I'm upset that I didn't get any pasta. My two shops were left at the till yesterday. One was pasta and the other was the fajitas. But we'll live.

I appreciate all the support i've received on this thread and will continue to lurk and contribute when I can. I will also not be visiting any asda store for a couple of months at least. After Christmas, I'm going to try to test a store a bit further away, and see if I'm ok. I've had some very good messages and people are of the general view that this could have happened to many of us on here. This is a great comfort.

They have also said that after giving it a couple of months, and letting the dust settle i should be fine to go to other stores. Just not that one that I was banned from.

It is my personal view (I stress, i'm not knocking anybody), that to contact head office over this matter (and remembering that it was I who broke their rules), would only result in problems for all of us that benefit from the APG system. We don't want to raise its profile. I also would like to benefit from it once again, but perhaps in other stores. I'm based near S!!!!horpe (nearest big town) for those who wish to know where I am. I don't want to say any more about my location as I don't know who reads this thread.

There is usually a thread running on the techie board about cheap laptop deals. Open office is a free word processing package that is meant to be good.

Yoghurt Queen - I wouldn't worry about the Loss Prevention people. Firstly, have they got your address? Secondly, even though you broke the APG rules, the fact remains that the store allowed you to tender a large number of APG's in exchange for goods. If they didn't want to accept the APG's they should have refused them much earlier on at the till. They've accepted them now (even though they shouldn't) and its too late for them to say they made a mistake by taking them. You could have given them a any old bit of paper with £15 written on it and , if they accepted it as being worth £15, then thats their problem not yours.

You broke the rules and have admitted that but now just keep your head down and (in the unlikely event of it going any further) just keep saying that you didn't realise/forgot there was a limit and thought that, so long as the till accepted the APG's they were OK to use. Try to stop worrying - we've all sailed VERY close to the wind (me included) nd whats happened to you is certainly a wake up call for the rest of us.
