    I always seem to get stuff later than everyone else for some reason......so you never know.
    I did get a capital one football this week. I have a vague memory of that from a FB comp I think. It was funny, it's deflated and was shaped like a bowl in the packaging. The postie handed it to me with both hands like he was serving me a bowl of soup :rotfl:

    I ought to use my FB for comps but I never go on there. :o

    We got a blown up football through the post once from some Co op competition that OH never even remembered entering.

    How will you blow it up, actually don't answer that pre watershed. :rotfl:

    What a day , First time in ages that i used a APG in store and got semi troued,
    The till woman looked at it went to put it in then calls a manager, supervisor or whoever , seh comes over checks it all matches and says its all ok , woman on till waits for her to walk away and then calls someone on the till system thing ,
    Now trout manager come over and things get intresting , she asks if all details are right "yes" says the woman on the till , "but she cant have got that back we have had forgerys and i think this is one" At that point i get agitated and say go check yourself
    "ohh we cant we dont have any internet" "ill find another manager" , so off she trots, But she doesnt go to find a manager she goes to security, i know this because hubby was waiting with the baby at the collection point for my c/c, He over hears them saying well no one gets them that big, it must have been altered (it was for £10xx ) maybe she changed it from £1.xx to £10.xx ect, At hearing this i go to customer services who are nice enough and appologise for the length of time im waiting and calls her, she comes over going on and on about fraud ect and saying weve had lots before ect, then pick up the phone and calls someone to ask who to call to check them, i offer my phone go to the apg site enter details and show her that all details match , and she then goes well what items gave you the money back .... (i play dumb and say i dont know but it says tesco was cheaper her reply was ohhh so was sainsbury ohh can you click on that so i can see the items,

    Sounds as though you didn't kick up much of a fuss and kept a low-ish profile in that store.

    Good on you.

    Dodgy vouchers?

    More like legitimate vouchers produced by APG's online system.
