What the hell can I do about this?! (Asda delivery)

Ordered a home delivery shop yesterday to arrive today. I'm having some problems following my c section 3 months ago, and I just couldn't face carrying shopping etc as my stomach is quite painful.

Just had an email to say the order has been cancelled and to phone to ask why. So I did, and they've said "the bank never got back to us in time to secure the payment". The money was there, I made sure of it before I ordered, but now it's not showing in my bank, so I can't even go shopping now!! There's no food in the house, so what the hell do I do?!! Asda say it's nothing to do with them. Can't even phone the bank cos it's dh's card and he won't be able to phone until after work now.

I feel so low this morning and have been very tearful anyway, and this has just tipped me over the edge :(

Hello CountTheShadows
Sorry to hear about this - hope you are okay.

We do advise all our members to be aware that not everyone on t'internet is who they say they are, and that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

@OhPillocks

Of course MNHQ have to post their standard comment. If people come online and say their are skint then someone invariably offers them money or goods. It's lovely when people do that however there is no way that you can tell who is a scammer and who isn't so you either have to have the warning on every single 'I'm skint' thread or none of them. There is no need to feel insulted by it.
Yes. THIS Hope you are feeling better soon, OP = and that you've got some nappies now. Can you also maybe use DM's washing machine for a bit. Kindest wishes to you MNHQ
