    Hi, sorry for the dumb question. I've used quidco for a tesco.com registration and purchase and had the cashback. If I now sign up with topcashback and do the same, will I still get the discount, or would I have to register as DH with his work email address?

    Cheers chicks!

    Welcome back kitten, where have you been stranger? :D

    Thanks for missing me - mainly been working out my notice - 2.5 weeks down, 9.5 weeks to go.

    Not long for you now? My baby is one day older than yours so you have my admiration for coping with all that entails with a bump!

    9.5 weeks will fly, I'm sure. Sorry I wish my brain held onto details better, are you going on to another role, or are you plotting a life of SAHMness? x

    Yeah, the bump does make some bits hard! Mostly I'm getting really creaky at lugging Fergus upstairs for naps. I've got a travel cot set up down here but he's really not keen. Must persevere! :)

    And I thought that I was knocking on a bit for a first timer :rotfl:

    Thought I was the oldest first-timer round here? :rotfl: Don't think I'd have done it if I were older, and we both agreed we wouldn't pursue matters if it didn't happen naturally.

    I'm glad you did tigs.

    And so very glad about the documentary and therefore the extra scan.

    Andrew and Rhys are our miracle babies.

    amusing quote of the day from my DH: 'I gave him (fergie) some sweetcorn for tea last night so we could chart his transit time.'

    gotta love him :)

    Mainly to be SAHM, big step for me as I have a fairly decent job and wage a bit so am a bit scared at being financially reliant on another. May try to get some self employed contracty type stuff related to what I do now to keep my hand in, may do some voluntary stuff or may pop out a few more, or possibly a combination of all three!

    Current dilemma is whether to keep childcare for one day a week in the hope that I get some work to keep ticking over, and to ease the transition, as she seems to love it so much and has only been for a few weeks. It is pricey, but may well motivate me to get some cash in to cover it. H sleeps in a travel cot in nursery, in a room full of activity no problems and I never thought she would so well worth persevering. They just put a blanket over the top of it!:rotfl:

    Oh and I've been following your MFW thread, so will try and get me one of them too as it's something I'd (we'd) like to achieve soonish too.

    Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww fanks :o

    Seconded ;) Currently trying to encourage said miracle that sitting up would be a much better idea than laying on the floor to play.. lazy tyke! :cool:

    Tiga, Rhys didn't have a BCG but B did *confused* Maybe it's because Andrew and B had more lung issues and were on oxygen longer than Rhys :) (or are we just missing out?! :cool:)
