    honestly was thinking that earlier and going to put it in my last post but thought you would think i was nuts, hubby says i think too much about things but i do love a good conspiracy theory and always think things through ten different ways and from 10 different angles :rotfl:

    Great minds and all that :D:D I think I would make a point of going and seeing what happens, but then my OH says I can find trouble when not even looking for it:o:o:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

    I felt soooooooo bad that you had a bad month that I decided to leave them for you;) Well that and the fact I missed the turning off the motorway and got stuck in some bad traffic. 6 Police trying to sort out the traffic, which they made worse instead:(:(


    Nuts, my son didn't go wombling at the big asda yesterday, said he would let Blue have the receipts for a change:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    Wonder if they are still there or if the cleaners have had them.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Pay £2.50 to DVLA & they will sell our soul if they can!:D

    I think you will find that they will have to go through police to get the details but then big company like them they can almost do anything to small fly like us.

    If their reason is "fraud" I think its justifiable for them to get the info.:eek:

    But then like everybody else are saying the guy is just scaring your OH. How can it be fraud? It's finders keeper;) not as if we purposely go to supermarket to look for receipts like in the bins :rotfl:

    Don't wanna pay ebay 20% commission fee :D I always send my sold items via recorded mails that's to protect me from dodgy buyer(s);)


    Hiya hun
    You don't need to send cheap items by recorded delivery, if you get a postal receipt your overed up to £46. Also charging for recorded delivery on cheap items puts buyers off, so you get no sales or low prices for your items.

    I always send things by recorded delivery for items over £10 like IS.

    Ebay fees are 10% of the end price, but of course you have paypal on top. Make up for the charges by listing on free listing days only.

    No free listing this weekend though:(:(:(

    told OH that they had got the reg number of the car

    This was posted in Elite thread:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    The police could do a trace using a car reg but Asda couldn't due to Data Protection etc.

    Do what my son does, walk around with your mobile glued to your ear, it just looks like your wondering around on the phone, so hopefully no one will take any notice.:rotfl:

    On a serious note, it is a bit embarassing. Maybe we should all print the Asda wombling article, just in case.

    Also if challenged just say you have lost your receipt and are looking for it.:rotfl::rotfl:

    hi, bluewicked,
    OH said he wasn't one of the security men, was dressed smartly and A's badge on, but he did have a walkie talkie thing, only on his own though surprised that he didn't have a security man with him. just think it's been a scare tactic. hubby didn't argue though, i probably would have and got myself in more trouble :p


    The security men on one of my Asda's wears a suit and not a uniform, so could have been security.
