I'm awake British Gas are expected anytime from now to hopefully sort out my boiler. I'm longing for a hot bath but the boiler went on thursday morning. He had the wrong part yesterday so is having to come back today.

I've just spen £80 ish pound on maternity clothes from New Look - there is a 20% off code of the vouchers section. I've got a couple of pairs of jeans, couple of work trousers, 2 vest tops and a pair of cargo type pants

Oh cool, i might go down my local M&S and have a peek

Evans best place I found for maternity clothes were H&M and then the Blooming Marvelous online sale - their stuff is really nice and they have some of it on really cheap at the moment

right the work question

We have Sky+ but DH is drooling at the HD box (MEN!) - I know Sky have clamped down on the "well I'm gonna leave if you don't give me a better deal" thing so what would be the best way of getting a HD box cheap/free and a better deal on the monthly payments? (We have the sports and movie and multiroom packages already lol so spend a wee bit over the minimum LOL Well I say we... it's DHs luxury so can't really take it off him, but unless he can get the HD free (or nearly) then he's not allowed one

Elle- great idea on the regular saver. Must reinstate mine while I'm still working. OH and I already save our two pound coins in our terramundi and I reckon we've got quite a bit in there as we started last year.

Just to say that my local huge M&S have some maternity bits in the sale- I got a pair of grey cargoes for £5 and they are lovely. The also had some tops and others trousers. Might be worth a look.

Stretch a bit further, I'm Lyme Regis!

Evansangel. Think carefully before spending too much on maternity as you don't wear it for long. The cardigan I just got was down to £11 from £45. I don't normaly bother too much and with a cardigan would either not do my normal one up or go into Primark and buy a cheap one that I will stretch and not wear after. I find it's more important to spend the money on a comfortable bottom half.

Haha, ok well umm.. The box atm is £49 with £30 install.
If you take out another multi room you would get the installation for free.
BUT... the multi room is an extra £9.75 a month, so it works out cheaper paying for the installation in the long run, if you dont want another multiroom.
The HD pack is £9.75 a month and you get upto 32 extra channels in HD.

But the only way to possibly get it for free would be to take the chance and threaten to cancel lol. Oh also there is an internet offer where you get your first month free So saving £9.75

Absolutely - Think the most expensive maternity clothes I have is about £30 - and that was a pair of jeans... My BEST maternity jeans I bought in Denmark for £20 and they are great! My biggest tip for bottoms is if you can get material that stretches a bit. I found the maternity jeans that don't have some stretch in them don't always fit (obviously depends on whether I am retaining water :rotfl:) and the bigger you get the nicer it is that the materital has a bit of stretch in them...
Tops - buy multi use ones... I practically live in my blooming marvelous tops - just plain ones which are very simple but SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO soft! I have a few "posh" tops too (nature of my job) and a skirt and some very floaty trousers - both very comfy and can be either dressed up for work or going out or just used for lounging. Just plain black both of them

MrsTinks

Thanks hun think what I might do I tell him to cancel the multiroom (it's not vital and frankly doesn't get used that much! And threaten to cancel the whole lot :rotfl: - I take it you can still change your mind on cancellation right up until the day before your cancellation is due to take place?

Evansangel

Well i need to buy some new trousers anyway as my normal work ones broke the other day, and work require us to dress smart. So i dont know whether to buy normal trousers then in a couple of months get some materntity ones.

Or save money and buy maternity ones now and a belt

Also Peacocks do nice (AND CHEAP!) maternity clothes, jeans for £10!
And ASDA do to
