Harley i had the same query about the '*' a while ago with an Evans order, and after mucho googlage i came to the conclusion that it means Evans won't query it, they'll just pay out - so if it's tracked* it's as good as validated if that makes sense??

That was confirmed more when i got the cashback paid twice, on the boots i'd returned too

Tia thanks that's v.kind - think we're ok for newborn stuff though, i don't have huge amounts but not got her in any 0-3 yet they look too big so i've got about 6 newborn sleepsuits that i'm alternating, and loads of vests! I've not had her in a proper outfit yet tho just sleepsuits

The Book People and Dorothy Perkins always track for me, regardless of whether I go through Quidco... I think I've got a bug in the system! Ah well, got surprise cashback confirmation from TBP last night :rotfl:

With Quidco, I usually clear out my cookies, files, history etc before I log on just in case. Then click through from them to whatever I want. It can take upto 3 (?) days for certain things to track, but if it is showing on the list then it should be ok. I only had 2 things be refused. One was a curries click and reserve that my dad paid for on his card (so name didn't match) and the other was gala bingo that there was no reason for but I got fed up trying to argue it out. So don't do any of the 'free money' ones if you have to deposit money incase it doesn't work. But I havn't used it in a year because it stopped working on firefox for some reason (seems fine now though).

My boo-hoo, my course of antibiotics finished last night and I had a shower this morning (I didn't dare wash my hair since the ear infection started) and guess what? It's flared up again even after me being really careful :mad: Can feel it swelling up again because my jaw is very tight.

Ow Ow Ow, stupid ice and snow!!! I'm still hurting from New Years day fall, and today dropping LO off at my parents I decided to do the splits and hurt myself again :mad:

So I've spent the last 2hrs tidying up Daniel's room and putting all his new clothes away, he has so much and it will last him until he's 2yrs old...... he's only nearly 9months :eek:

Ladies with young girls, whilst tidying I have found the following:

1) some single hair clips here is a pic of them piccies
2) a pink flowery make your own keyring/bracelet another pic bracelet
3) Also two bracelets bracelets

if anyone would like these in the fairy post let me know? Otherwise it's going to the tip along with alot of other junk:rotfl:

Lol, I like the green bracelet, you sure it's not adult sized?

Think Amber-roo is a bit young

Carla, I'll know by tomorrow, cos it'll start hurting during the night. Really not a pain you can ignore, but when it's a bad one, it can be a few courses till one works. Still got my ear spray which helps.

Right, off to photo and list some stuff on ebay so I can get that highchair (only 3 left!)

Hello everyone!

Are you all ok after the day stuffed in my carry-on bag?

It was a bit of an adventure getting home. First, we had too much stuff for just the little rental car, so we ended up in a convoy - my dad drove me with the cases (and my mother came too, purely to sit in the back and b!tch about Husband under her breath ... nice :rolleyes:) and Husband and Molly drove the rental car with pushchair, carseat and base. We got caught in a massive tailback on the M6 that wasted almost an hour, and just as we were pulling into the drop-off zone at the airport my dad's tyre blew out!! :eek:

Neither of my parents had brought the RAC details with them and they'd taken out the spare tyre to make room for the cases. I suggested they call my brother and ask him to bring the car jack and the spare, but apparently there's no way they'd expect him to do that while he was sitting at home in bed (he didn't even come downstairs to say goodbye, the ingrate) so they called a friend of my dad's to collect tyre and jack from him and drive it up.

Husband had gone off past us to the car rental drop-off just before it happened so didn't see it, and turned up to find me trying to give my mother a tenner so they could get a couple of cups of coffee while they waited and her refusing. The refusal is extremely complicated (basically she's quite resentful that Husband and I both make good money while she has to support my retired dad and deferred-student/unemployed layabout brother on her own pension, so is cutting her nose off to spite her face by refusing even a couple of coffees' worth of help). She then said a couple of very passive-aggressive things and told us just to go and check in.

We tried our best, but check-in wasn't open yet because Lufthansa have cut back that extra half-hour to save a bit of money. We finally managed to check in, I got stopped at security for extra checking and one of the female guards said she'd hold Molly while I was searched (Husband was still unpacking his laptop etc on the far side). Then the woman refused to hand the baby to him when he got through!! He tried to make a game of it, Haha very funny, now give me back the baby, but he had to actually use a bit of force to get her back!! :eek:

We all have the sinus/chest infection my brother kindly spread around the house, so I took a BF-safe (allegedly) decongestant with pseudo-ephedrine in it. Turns out that it does go through into breastmilk, so I'd accidentally given Molly a half-dose of fake speed :eek: She was wide awake, although extremely happy, for the whole trip.

The flight was super painful on my ears, but didn't seem to bother Molly at all, and we were the last off the plane. The gate-checked carseat base had been sent off with the bags, which we only discovered after waiting for aaaaages outside the plane for it. And at passport control we discovered that Molly's technically an illegal immigrant because we didn't have a German travel document for her :rolleyes:

Still, we're home now, we decided to practice making Baby #2 instead of unpacking so the cases are all over the floor in varying stages of crap-spilling-out. I have to go back to work tomorrow too The only thing that makes it better is that Miss Molly gets to stay home with Husband and I'll organise some sort of flexibility in my hours once I get back to work.

Big hugs to Tia for sore ears, the MFD household for being very poorly-sick, Dora for another fall and everyone else who's sick and I've not read back far enough to notice. I skimmed for photos and Beenie and Carla your littlies are gorgeous!

*phew*
