    Hope today goes well for you BS. Must be quite stressful for you and your daughter, but worth it all in the end. Bet your grandchildren must be so excited with all this technology to make a huge improvement to their lives.

    Thanks everybody for your visual hugs.

    I still don't know what I did wrong - they just don't like the way I shop ie : only buy expensive stuff to match their competitor price.

    They don't want my business b'cos they can't make profit from my target shopping.

    The worse of all - yesterday, I could not eat ( damn them for making me eat dinner so late!!), sleep (well nearly) and this morning I woke up with a sinking feeling!:mad::mad::mad: my heart is still beating:eek: Damn them for scaring the hell out of me:mad::mad:
    RIP my dear dear parent : Mum aged 62 (17/5/1990) & Dad aged 89 (23/1/2012)

    There is nothing wrong with targeted shopping. Some on the elite contacted Asda HQ and hey said it was not an abuse of the APG system to do target shops so I shouldn't think it would be at T's either

    It is all scare tactics, don't let them get to you Doc :mad::mad::mad:

    I left my thoughts on that on the elite and had a little disagreement with someone on there about it. It is one thing for Asda to say that targeted shopping is ok, but what they really think can be another matter. I think it is daft contacting Asda HQ and highlighting stuff, but each to their own I suppose. I can see the APG going the same way as the price check now that so many are using it and targetting shops. It isn't that they are targetting shops but that they are doing big shops/APG's which stand out. I know people want to max offers but some take the p*ss by clearing shelves etc. It is like the sainsbury's beer offer and Tesco car coupons, I have read some people have literally taken boxes full of the coupons so that there is none left for others. I haven't been able to find any of the beer or car coupons in any stores I have been in and I have been in about 6 Sainsburys and Tesco.

    Remember guys :-

    1) Always carry fob key tekco only. Never use your tekco card (blue card) when doing target shop & lots of PP.

    2) Use real fob key/card by all means for your initial shopping.

    3) Use ghost fob key to return your stuff - never give them your real fob key/card.

    4) Making use of ££ wys £££ never use real fobkey/card when returning goods. They will check how often you are returning tekco stuff (this is what they are looking for but I don't think they can find anything on me - because I dont use clubc at all & always pay CASH). Even if I did used clubc its the ghost one.
