    Mrs.Moc, you are in the best place and thankfully you are just beyond the 24 week mark. Fingers crossed that baby waits till well after 28 weeks. Take care.

    [rant alert]

    Took the kids to asda and I am DISGUSTED with them! Little brats the whole way round, told them that they were getting no biscuits, they didn't care till we were almost at the tills and then the tears started. Well guess what? No biscuits, no crisps, no deserts and NO EASTER EGGS!!!!! I am evil mummy and they have just pushed me too far. Have been little brats all week, ignoring everything that I say, they are still doing it now! Told them to go to their room till dinner is ready and they hang about the door ignoring both DH and me. Only reason they have been sent to their room is becuase I really don't trust myself not to tan their !!!!!!.

    [/end rant]

    Searching I think you can print one off at the machine thingy.

    Searching, I sent hubby to collect mine and he lost the voucher... So I made him sign up for a clubcard and join the parent club himself to get a new one lol... It's upstairs waiting for me to get my Gem Magic on it... Did just order the accessory pack that goes with our buggy too so that's 2 changing bags... Plus the one I had when Aimee was born which I never got on with so is as good as new... I do love a good bag ;)

    Tia, completely with ya on the brattyness... I'm glad I only have one... But it's enough to drive you to distraction sometimes!

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Cady, I think something like this would be useful too. I don't even have a clue where to start with bottles etc. There must be something about. I found this on babycentre, and it tells you the pros and cons of stuff like different types of baths, but doesn't really cover smaller things like toiletries:
    http://www.babycentre.co.uk/baby/buyingforbaby/knowhow/whatyoureallyneed/

    Also found this site whilst looking:
    http://www.babyfreebies.co.uk/

    It has all discount codes and free samples for baby stuff.

    MrsMoc - hope you can get through the next few weeks without anything getting worse. It must be rotten being stuck in hospital for so long, but it will be worth it in the end!

    Can I just warn you about having two people register same baby with boots. It never really applied to me so I was'nt really taking much notice but the ladies on the boots thread in 'Grabbit while you can' were saying that some of them had lost all their points for doing this. Sorry I haven't got more information but it might be worth popping in to ask them about it. Recall one lady losing £500 worth of points.

    Anyway, can I join in please?

    I've been lurking for a while but really felt I should mention the above in case someone else loses out on points.

    My first baby is due 22nd September, and I am so excited.

    OMG just shows what you miss if you're away from this palce for more than 10 minutes! :D
    Just in case, congrats, hugs & kisses, labour vibes, Easter eggs... whichever you need! :rotfl:

    13 weeks today - trying not to think about bad luck, esp when it's Good Friday as well. :eek:Not usually superstitious, but when you're pg things have a bit more significance! Normal jeans etc., getting far too tight round middle, but don't want to buy new stuff just yet. Will hold out as long as I can - got my eyes on some nice trousers & tops in Next catalogue, birthday soon, so may treat myself.
    Been helping SIL do a cleaning job for the last 3 Fridays, 3 hours +, really physical, still cream crackered now & legs/back gonna ache tomorrow, & got to do other job then! At least it's nice, going to someone's wedding! :cool: (I'm a deputy registrar).
    Anyone know if you need a passport to fly to Scotland from England? Forgot if I asked already & missed reply! Also, can I still fly at about 20 or 21 weeks?
    ETA: Congrats Hayley & welcome! :)

    Hi Cheapskate. You don't need a passport to fly from Scotland to England and vice versa but you do need photographic ID. If you have a passport, I'd say take it. If not a photo driving license will do. You can still fly at 20-21 weeks- I'm going to Spain when I'm about 22 weeks so I hope so! x x
