I did not enter last nights "discussions" but think the reaction to your post was an indication to the mood of the group last night, I did think at the time it was a bit off but that was influenced by the tone of the other posts. I can see what you mean from todays post in the light of the day so to speak, my own dad was the type who would give a kid a sweet or a penny to buy a sweet when he met them he was a trusting type,but society has changed so much now:(

On the brighter side I did an MT /vinnies shop at 12 ish and decided to do a circuit of town, on the route I bumped into a woman I know (shes in her sixties) after a chat I gave her a MT, she was really pleased, when her husband turned up he mentioned he was running a christmas raffle, guess what he got (a vinnies and an MT !), so I went back to As and did a couple of Thornton/MT shops before getting the Tesco bus home.
The bus driver was a very young Polish guy, hes got a MT for his girlfriend, I dont generally do that sort of thing but I felt a real need in myself to be positive.
Assuming the APGs come through OK It will have cost me about £3 - I feel a lot better, I've had a kiss, a handshake, three smiles, and four people are happier, now that is a bargain!

Afternoon everyone

It was my 25th wedding anniversary yesterday. Yesterday afternoon I was a bit shocked when one of these was delivered


Now we have needed a new fridge freezer for ages and this one is lovely and will go wonderfully in the new kitchen when it's finished. But I was rather dismayed to discover that this was my anniversary pressie:(. My OH has always been the practical type....I've had a dishwasher, coffee maker, dyson and other practical gifts over the years and I've just gotten used to it but I had thought that as it was a special anniversary he might buy me something a bit more personal or special. Needless to say I spent the rest of the day in a bit if a strop not helped by him commenting that he thought that it was a great idea because it was silver and appropriate for a silver wedding pressie:mad:

Well anyway I'd gotten over it by this morning. Went out to do a few things this morning then went to pick OH from hospital at lunch time. Just after we got home there was a knock at the door, It was a man from a car dealership delivering a brand new shiny one of these


So guess how stoopid and selfish and ungrateful I feel now?:o. Luckily OH just thinks he's funny (nice to see he still has a sense of humour:cool:)

New car for me has been on the cards for ages. the one I have now is practically falling apart but With all the goings on I haven't a chance to sort a new one out. So I have had a harsh lesson about being ungrateful and am off now to find me knee pads for all the grovelling I'm going to be doing.

Sorry for the long post:o

Awww, bless him, just sometimes they are worth it aren't they x

Yes :eek: I have one from a fingers shop last week which was capped, just printed it out and it's not capped :eek: I'm a big scaredy cat so can't decide about using it.
Has anyone else had this?

yep...mine came back at £16.16...and am dreading using it

They have uncapped the APG? I've 3 x receipts which I've been using at around £8ish. Wonder what there reasoning is to cap then uncap? Anyone tried a higher one I'm pretty sure it would sound the trout alarm

yep...am fully expecting police in full on riot gear to arrive if I attempt to use it in my local....I'll be going further afield where I know no one, on a Saturday with a nice young SA who doesnt give a hoot to use mine

Does the iPhone Asda app or website APG cap your claims to £100 etc automatically or is it relying on "trust."

Many thanks
