Dippydoo, what you did was absolutely amazing, thank you. I just wish I had read your post earlier, however I have sent an email to Asda asking what the position is and did they sanction the course of action that was taken or is it possible that an over zealous manager might have gone it alone? I'll let you know how I get on.

Hello
Just catching up 4 days worth of news as I have been away, sorry about your experience in store, gutted for you.
Just want you to know how much I appreciate all of your help you have given me over the months, you are fab.
Hope you have many successful c&c shops. I prefer these to instore shops now.
Thank you xWe're just happy to have a home, a family and our health. Whatever else is just added and it fits.0 -

Hi everyone, sorry to hear about your run in SSFB, I think I would contact Head office, Don't think you got much to lose.:rotfl:
As long as there are two systems running at the same time asking them to check validity is risky
Eg. What if you buy bog roll on old system and get an £8 apg but they check on new system and it says you get diddly squat?
I think I will start taking screen shot of comparisons, knowing my luck I'll have a APG from old system, and need to prove its real and we'll no longer have access to it!!
It must stop someday0 -

Probably my own doing as I got too friendly with some SAs (to make spending large apgs easier), however, it appears that some jealous SAs overheard conversations and went to management.
Might have to have a voddie or two tonight to get over the shock..:o:o
SFSB
Are you SURE it's your APG's or is it the underlined & you didn't want to tell us exactly how friendly you were? Maybe the others were jealous?
I have some advice to give you :-
1. Hurry up and lose that weight, Tweets can give you some tips.
2. If you are bald, get a wig or toupee.
3. If you have hair on your head, shave it off, failing that colour it.
4. Rethink your wardrobe. If you always used to wear a suit then wear some joggers or vise versa. If you always wore dark colours then brighten yourself up.
5. Have you ever looked at a catalogue and laughed saying "OMG I couldn't wear that!" BUY it & wear it.
6. Buy yourself some platform heels or inserts to make you taller. Maybe learning how to stilt walk might work?
7. Try wearing a little make-up to disguise yourself. Stick on warts?
8. Plastic surgery may be an option.
9. Eccentric may be good for you - along with weight loss, growing taller, make-up.
10. If the above fails then HD, CC and longer journeys to use the APG's gained at your local store may be the short term answer.
Sorry - I couldn't help the above.
I'm sure many of us have been there. OMG I remember the £60 APG I got when everything was 32p or less. Talk about 'trouting myself!' I know the supervisor still remembers me. Since then I have tried to stick to under £10 APG's.
I hope this won't deter you too much - the way the weight is dropping off you you'll soon be a 'new man' and no-one will recognise you anyway.
Give Asda HO a ring & I wish you the bestest luck!0 -
Bl00dy sick of folk knocking on my door to see who I'm gonna be voting for. I've had a long day, I know its early but I have my pj's on and I'm relaxing, go away! They knock really loud as well and you can't get rid of them.
Sorry that was way off topic and I'm just having a rant!MFW 2013 #146 Target £6000
