Looks like I'll be using some of my apgs to buy new trousers. Just heard a humungous rip as i bent over to pick up a womble. I hope the womble in question returns something!!

Having seen FK's pic, I am off to try a larger Asda.

Collected up my neighbour's gift of 5 slugs off my decking, popped them in a brown envelope (with a large piece of lettuce so as they don't starve whilst he is out at work) and have written him a nice little note on the front, and just going to pop it through his letter box on my way out

"Please find enclosed unwanted gift. I don't need any more slugs thanks, I have enough of my own.

This is now the third time I have seen you donate them over to me, but perhaps in the future you would be kind enough to re-home them elsewhere. Thanks"

Thing is, the sticky has worn off the envelope and I can't seal it up Oh well, let's hope he is not late home from work

I would just use the womble with the other APG as for being trouted, I sometime think people over think things too much, I have never had anyone study my receipt in any of the 4 A's I use

I use my wombled APG's in 10's sometimes (as I convinced myself that was the maximum they'd take in one transaction). I've never been questioned on it even though they have to call a supervisor to do the override every time.
The only time I started to sweat was when a chap looked at all the receipts and said 'Oh, you seem to have a lot of different credit cards!' :eek:
I replied 'All my friends and family give me their receipts because they know we're very short of cash' and he said 'Oh, that's nice' and just carried on!

I am sure that such a big APG will draw attention ! I would suggest that you use it on a big fairly normal shop (one that doesn't include more wine!). Use it on a Saturday when they are busy and try to find a CA who looks like a student laid back' type. And keep them chatting if you can. They will have to call for authorisation as bigger APGs (I think> £10 ?) need a Supervisor to override. Hopefully the CA won't notice the details on the receipt and the Supervisor will be so rushed off her feet that she will just punch in her authorisation code and shoot off again.

Stay calm ! (and good luck). Probably best to keep your future potential APGs down in size (hindsight is a wonderful thing) and maybe keep a very low profile in whichver store you spend it in.

Love the description of the Asda process. They are the same country wide then? Thats exactly what I do. !!!

The apg you have just quoted was only for £5 or so, we did ask the op to post the details late last night so we could see where he/she went wrong.

Apg's over £10 don't need a supervisor to authorise, at least they don't in the store I go to.

Yes, I know the OP only got a much smaller than expected APG - I posted my comments earlier when it seemed her APG was going to be huge. I am very interested in knowing exactly which wines she got - surely she must have picked up the wrong stuff - & hopefully she will tell us soon.

My Asda seems to get a till message flash up for larger APGs - its never ben a problem as the Supervisor just comes and keys in her code. It must be a local thing.

Is it free to go to the library to use their computers? I might see if I can print off the APGs (I understand that this may incur a charge).

I feel so lost without my computer
