            Tried to use my APGs at customer service desk yesterday buy SA was having none of it. Showed her T&Cs on my phone and she agreed to ring up HO but they were having none of it either. Has anybody else had any luck? Will try a different store if it can be confirmed.
 Collecting the Sunday cinema codes if anybody has any that they won't be using. Can't believe OH and DD both threw away empty packets at the weekend despite being told not to. OH kept the tear off strip though, like that's any good for me!!!! TIA
 I'm not sure if it is worth the hassle trying to get the apg onto a gift card at customer service desk tbh. Your putting yourself well above the radar doing that. I think it is so much easier just buying something expensive and taking it back the next day. Inks, small razors etc are nice and small/light and easy to take back.Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

 PM - your post made me think of these song lyrics - they always make me smile 
 "What do you get when you kiss a girl
 You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
 After you do, she'll never phone you
 I'll never fall in love again"
 Hope you feel better soon 0 0

 Agreed, tried it in a store I don't visit often and glad now. Bought some shoes, boots and Xbox game that will be getting returned to various stores today!!! Nice idea about ink, will give that one a go today, thanks :T0

            :hello:Good Morning.
 I think this glitching is ending item by item, so I'm gonna risk a few shops today:D toothpaste, cereals, cleaning stuff, coke and Iams. I just gotta get them all in the correct order. :o I'm not too bothered about generating big APG's now, cos I will buy something to take back with them later at a store I know is ok.  I think now the main thing is to get the stuff you want whilst it is still working as I cannot see it working by the end of the week.  It's lovely wombling weather here:j:j :o I'm not too bothered about generating big APG's now, cos I will buy something to take back with them later at a store I know is ok.

 Is it just me who thinks the drain cleaning stuff is carp? I would have been upset if I had paid the proper price for it as it doesn't seem to work very well.
 Morning Blue:) I am focusing on cheese and cleaning as can't park in A's car park so will have to carry it to another car park so want lighter items :rotfl: that's why got the coke last night when DH was with me he getting really fed up with these shops at A's MEN!. :rotfl:.
 Haven't used the drain stuff yet:( but doesn't sound good then.
 Oh Blue got more of the whitening toothpaste last night done 4 whitening 1 of extra fresh if you want to do a swap when we meet up for ones you couldn't get.0

            I don't mind you asking - it's just not on the cards, the Court says what will happen and long term fostering is the plan. She has other siblings too in care and I think it is felt she could lose contact if she was no longer under the umbrella of Social Services. The parents of children in care have WAY too many rights 
 You're right there Jeff. My SIL has had such difficulty with her FD. The mother had severe mental health problems but has been able to block so many things just because she was the parent. It is only now she has died that things are easier and moving forwards.0

            Morning Drivellers.....:)
 This glitching is making me mad...LOL....:o
 Thanks for all the tips yesterday AH and BP...I need to try hard next time.:A
 Well done CW on a big roadkill...:T:T:T
 PM hope you feel better soon..xxx:)
 I am also bit scared to generate gift cards out of apg's and don't have many A's near me to shop. So everytime going to same shop for returning the stuff is a bit risky.0

 You could always buy some inks and then send to me with the receipts and I will send back a gift card;) Don't all get ideas cos I ain't gonna do it for all my "family", just my sis IS if she wants;)Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

            Morning everyone,
 Its a lovely day here. Am off out shortly for a routine hospital appointment, just wondering whether to chance my arm again with the shopping. Just a little unsure after yesterday's effort. I had planned to go today as it would mean using a different and much large shop that I would not normally go to. Will wait and see how I feel I think.
 PM - hope your cold is better soon.
 BP - how do you manage to keep up with the other thread, your updates are most useful, thankyou.
 AH & PM - I will have some more codes later if you would like them.0

 IS if you got a list of your shop you intend to buy post here and will have a look at it and see if it seems ok. Hoping to get out earlier as have a meeting after 1pm today and not sure how long that will take, so need to shower and shop before but if you have a list before I go will try and help if not others will. Don't want to do an evening shop think they getting used to seeing us:eek: as only a small A's:rotfl:0
