OMG :mad:

Quidco have emailed to say my Engage Mutual £50 cashback (which was down as "received") has now been cancelled and i won't be getting it :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Same goes for my £6.50 from Wilko :(:(:(

I'm owed £12 from the National Trust


Josh was born on a Wednesday morning. Delivery was fine, but was transferred to a ward as you had to stay in for three days with your first then. Badly short staffed and just felt like I was in the way all the time. Nobody had time to show me how to breast feed and a poor 15 year old girl next to me was completely clueless. I sat with her a bit and showed her how to change nappies and wind her baby and stuff that I knew. Kicked out after two days as they needed the bed.

James was born on a Wednesday night. Hospital very short staffed and initially wouldn't believe I was in labour and said she would examine me to prove I wasn't in labour. She was quite put out to discover I was 8cm dilated! Buzzed soon after to say I was going into second stage and would deliver within the next few minutes but she said I had ages to go. As she spoke, my waters went and James shot out with one push, while the midwife was yelling she wasn't ready and telling me to hang on?! Was woken up at 7am the next morning and asked if I could leave ASAP as they needed the bed. However, the paedatrician was busy and couldn't discharge James until late afternoon, so I was just hanging around in a waiting room all day.

Charlotte was born on a Saturday night. Plenty of staff around all day Saturday and during the evening. The day midwife was nice, but the night time one who delivered her was horrid and so was the one who looked after me the next day. Both spoke to me as if I was some clueless thicko who didn't know anything about babies Was pleased when I got moved to a ward and the midwives there just kept an eye from a distance and let me get on with stuff.

Leaving assembly with James class was lovely. They'd all made up silly poems about each other and read out their best memories of the school.

Then they were picked up by limo's and drove round a bit, then went to the Metrocentre for bowling and burgers. They were all hyper when I went to pick James up.

In school the headmaster said they were not allowed to write on each others shirts and they got a lecture on graffiti and ruining property and stuff. The minute they were out of the school gates, they all wrote on each other while the head had a face on him like he was sucking a wasp. I never noticed that but James told me afterwards.

Love and hugs to everyone else who needs them xx

Sorry Maz, I'm such a div- it was Boots. Same style price tag as the nappy and baby food reductions they've had recently on the normal shelf. Definitely not company wide though as it was only one store.

Beccles - it sounds like James had a fab day.

Ignore the headmaster, as long as there was permission from the parents there's no harm in it, the headmaster doesn't have a sense of occasion. I had to giggle when they did it anyway where he couldn't say anything.

Yep, same here

I am unbelievably f*****d off about this - I had nearly £300 in there waiting to be paid out at the end of this month, money to go towards my deposit for a house. I now have just over £200. It was all marked as received, I dont see how they can mark it as received and then say it isnt there? The company had clearly paid them my money to pass on to me, so they are clearly taking it and doing a runner!

Especially annoying as I missed the date to request the payment of it last month. If I'd got it last month I'd be £80 better off! :mad::mad:

Don't be so sure they would have paid out last month...

Mine was supposed to be paid on 30th June but it never went in. I emailed them and they said
"You've got your settings for Paypal payment so we cannot pay an amount that exceeds £50".

That's all well and good but i flipping didn't set it to Paypal, i know this because i purposely set it for my Natwest account and was waiting for it in there!!!! At the time i didn't question it, i just doubted myself instead... but now i am almost 100% certain they meddled with my settings to string it out til they could announce this :mad:

I was expecting £178.16 this month and now i'm only getting £116.11.
Engage £50 + Wilko £6.50.... where's the other £5-odd?? I know it's not much but it's unexplained!

I think they're skanking us tbh.

3 can you point me in the direction of where your fat is because i totally missed it ... but you can come swimming if you want x

Aww Wossy. I like him

Katie just fell out of bed - no drama, she just rolled over and there was no bed left, she's in a toddler bed so it's quite close to the floor.

By the time I got up there she was sat up playing with her toy gorilla! I gave her a cuddle, tucked her back in and now she's back in the land of nod.

Beenie - grrrrrrr at Quidco.

Krystaltips

MDW, Aimee was always doing that but she just used to carry on sleeping lol...

I had about a tenner all recieved on quidco and now it's gone down to 50p... Glad I got my engage money a couple of months ago!!

Dave's just doing me some cheesey chips... I would have settled for a piece of toast but he didn't buy any bread today... Can't risk going to bed on an empty stomach... Especially seeing as tomorrow is my lie in morning...

MadDogWoman_2

I've just checked my quidco, the amounts haven't changed but nothing is being paid out either, it's all still sat as received. It's only £32 but it's free cash.

Krystal - enjoy your chips.
