MOTM I would think before I joined Emmas Diary baby club again, the freebies weren't very good and i am still being bothered by telesales people who have bought my details from Emma's Diary. (i know because I always question exactly where they got my info from before I send them away with a flea in their ear)

Oh really? That's not good. If we do sign up, they can have the mobile number of my old phone I don't use.

We have tears before bedtime, so best go find out what's gone wrong.

Take care all.

Or just don't put your phone number down. I only put the required information down on all these things and ticked all the boxes saying not to give my details to other people. I get more phone calls for the previous owner of our phone number (which we have had for five years now - it's ridiculous) than I do marketing calls.

Hi everyone
At the moment I'm using at the Johnson's bedtime range...talc, lotion, oil, bath stuff; etc. Anyway, it's quite expensive :money:and I believe that it works(!):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: (I'll just keep in saying that to myself!!) Does anybody know the cheapest place to buy it and/or available vouchers?
Many thanks!

I notice you list talc and just wanted to mention that 'they' don't recommend using talc on babies anymore. I love the johnsons bedtime bath stuff, I always stock up when it's on offer in sainsburys.

On the boobs subject I had tinny boobs before getting pregnant but now I have lovely larger ones and have finally got a cleavage to flaunt no sagging yet although haven't stopped bf.

I never put my phone number down either, and I always say that I do not want to be contacted by any other organisation, I strongly suspect that they have ignored that i do not want to be contacted, got my name and address and then found my phone number from that but how would you prove it?

In our PCT 'They' don't recommend using Johnsons at all - they blame the increase in skin complaints on it.

Thanks for this em, I've ordered one and a Violet for my niece - Violet is slightly cheaper at £13.15 + delivery :j

We have a Violet - it's a favorite.

Althought did you see this a few weeks ago?

(....and then said I may as well keep the thermometer! She was very nice and reassuring and didnt make me feel silly at all :T I want to write a letter to Mothercare praising her but I'm worried she might get into trouble for opening and letting me keep a thermometer!

Gill - ((hugs)) that sounds very scarey!
Could you just write saying how reassuring and helpful she was, with no mention of the thermometer?

Is that all babies or just the girl variety?

I've read somewhere (years ago) that talc isn't good for getting in your girl bits iykwim!

Am I the only one thinking if you're less than double figures into a pregnancy its a bit early to be deciding whether to BF or not IMO its a decision you cant really make until the baby is born anyway, I was adamant that I would BF and even refused to buy any FF equipment, really regretted that on the first night home when S wouldnt feed and we were panicking about jaundice.

I don't think I ever "decided" as such - I just always took it as a given. I did however recognise that things might not go as planned so I had a budget for breastfeeding/cloth nappies and one for formula/disposables.
