    Sami - maybe you misunderstood me before - I bought 2 packs of 4 for £5...so 8 packs of wipes in total.

    Is that better :confused:
    Much better! They didn't say they were BOGOF in my asda tho :mad: I also was busy dealing with keeping baby gate on the trolly so didn't check my receipt and when I got home I realised I'd been over charged for hubby's beer so I missed out on the refund plus £2 giftcard - might go back 2mo see if I can get it tho :cool:

    When is the next Baby Show? I'm quite taken by one of the Leebruss prams - it's similar to the SX classic.

    ETA: Sorry.. lazy me! Answer here :)

    If you email lebruss with your area/ post code (I suggest giving them a list of nearby towns) they'll send you back a list of local suppliers

    well I would just like to say, "I hate my husband today!!!!!" :mad:
    ahh thats better, i felt like stabbing him earlier he's been a right arris-hole, made me miss most of new series csi because he decided "I'm watching what I want!" :p all well and good if he didn't want to watch carp that we've already seen a squillion times before!

    Oh how !!!!!! am I?! lol on monday I bought my fave cookies (oatmeal & raisin) last night i couldn't work out why my ears felt all bunged up and itchy and throat was itchy too I only realised when it happened again today that oatmeal is oats!! :rotfl: yes that's right oats those things I'm allergic too :doh: I'd been eating them merily

    It is my 1st pregnancy and we're over the moon!

    I didn't find out until 2 weeks ago (about between 3-4 months now!) and it was a bit of a shock as we'd been trying for nearly 2 years! I was doing pregnancy tests every month/2 weeks and stopped as I thought it was bad luck as nothing had happened for so long!!
    I blamed my weight gain/being sick on xmas excess!
    Hoping to have my 1st scan next week sometime :)
    A wonderul start to the new year - I love being pregnant and am just about showing now! My waist has definately 'thickened!' :p

    It is my 1st pregnancy and we're over the moon!

    I didn't find out until 2 weeks ago (about between 3-4 months now!) and it was a bit of a shock as we'd been trying for nearly 2 years! I was doing pregnancy tests every month/2 weeks and stopped as I thought it was bad luck as nothing had happened for so long!!
    I blamed my weight gain/being sick on xmas excess!
    Hoping to have my 1st scan next week sometime :)
    A wonderul start to the new year - I love being pregnant and am just about showing now! My waist has definately 'thickened!' :p

    Me and OH 'sort of' tried for a few years, and nothing happened, so I just assumed that we couldn't have babies. Periods stopped so I took a test which was negative. They didn't return for a while, so I mentioned it to the GP while I was there. He told me it was probably because I'm so fat, but to do one more test before he investigates. Went home and did a test - almost fell over when it was positive! I was 11+5 when I found out! Having a short pregnancy is brilliant, I'm glad I missed out the scary bit at the beginning.

    Hope you don't have long to wait for your scan!
    Stay-at-home, attached Mummy to a 23lb 10oz, 11 month old baby boy.
