Can you do beans and pasta in the same shop? Or are they against different supermarkets?Debt free 6th December 2014

Just got myself in a panic. Thought I was going to miss my sada c n c slot as been busy this morning. About to ring sada to get them to hold it longer (don't know if they do that) looked at clock and I'm an hour ahead of myself. I've got plenty of time seems the gym haven't changed their clocks yet ...:hello: The grass is not greener, it just looks that way from a distance :hello:0

Good morning all, a little on the wet side here!
Does anyone know if pumpkins HAVE to be that browny orange colour before they can be eaten? I have a couple I had to bring in from the garden before they got frosted and simply don't know how long to leave them, they sound hollow when tapped so think they should be OK? But they are still fairly bright orange.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -
Good morning all.
I'm sitting in the dentists waiting room:eek:
Going to A after my torture and wondered if the finish is still working. It is on the comparison on the A bit, but if you swap to T it's not on there. Any thoughts please.
Hope you're all well on this grey, miserable day. P'ing down here.

I agree in principle - but YQ isn't denying that she broke the rules. She has said several times that she was taking the **** and that she just got carried away with the bargains (especially on the snakes). She isn't trying to justfy what she did, just upset at her own silly mistakes.
Its easy to say what we would have done in her situation - but I guess she was really stressed and scared once they took her into the office and started lecturing her. Once intimidated she would probably have signed anything to get out - probably regreted it afterwards when she had time to think rationally.
Loads of us really should be one hell of a lot more careful what we are doing with APG's - its very obvious from the multiple shops being posted on here (and the photos) that a fair number of people are probably almost up to YQ on usage and it is probably only a matter of time before others get the same treatment instore. I don't know what I've used in a month but, taking into account the snakes, cats, biscuits and the wombles its almost certainly over the limit. I had a little wake up call last week when a CA (a new guy who is as good as gold and readily admits that I have educated him on what to do with APG's when I present them) commented that I seem to get a lot of APG's . He's noticed and its likely that others have as well - after all, we all tend to look out for CA's that we've used before and know won't try to 'trout' us.
I still reckon YQ should keep her head down for a while and not involve HQ - especially as, if they look into it closely , they will spot her 52 cases of snakes with APG's of £15/£18 each and it will take an awful lot of wriggling to justify that even involving shopping for relatives !
Thank you. Good morning everyone. I'm still a bit shaky. But have read all the comments. Sorry to have brought the thread down etc. I hope someone will get something from my story. It could happen to others.
I agree with your post above. Its me putting my hands up. I was on here boasting about my cobra stash. I was warned about large apg's. But I honestly forgot about the 100.00 per month limit. It was at the back of my mind, but using different email addresses, seemed a good loop hole. I was comfortable with what I was doing and did not think in a million years, I'd get banned. However, since yesterday, I have stopped being comfortable. I will not be contacting head office, even though I know I could. Because I genuinely broke the rules and I deserve what I got.
I am very worried about loss prevention people writing to me. Thank you for that link earlier in the thread by the way. Its another thing I'm now worried about.
I'm upset that I didn't get any pasta. My two shops were left at the till yesterday. One was pasta and the other was the fajitas. But we'll live.
I appreciate all the support i've received on this thread and will continue to lurk and contribute when I can. I will also not be visiting any asda store for a couple of months at least. After Christmas, I'm going to try to test a store a bit further away, and see if I'm ok. I've had some very good messages and people are of the general view that this could have happened to many of us on here. This is a great comfort.
They have also said that after giving it a couple of months, and letting the dust settle i should be fine to go to other stores. Just not that one that I was banned from.
It is my personal view (I stress, i'm not knocking anybody), that to contact head office over this matter (and remembering that it was I who broke their rules), would only result in problems for all of us that benefit from the APG system. We don't want to raise its profile. I also would like to benefit from it once again, but perhaps in other stores. I'm based near S!!!!horpe (nearest big town) for those who wish to know where I am. I don't want to say any more about my location as I don't know who reads this thread.

Funilly enough, both my son and my husband LOVE cobra. They never used to, but they've grown to love it. Me? I hate it at the moment. Not that i've even had a sip and I wont be. I can't wait till its all drunk and out of my sight tbh! Hey ho.
