Thanks jenjade - Is this what they call family allowance these days? Is this the one that everyone gets regardless of earnings?

Thanks - looks like it will affect those paying higher tax (I wish I was in that bracket - lol). Changes from 2013, according to BBC News article....

I'm pretty sure I read that from April 2013 it will be means tested we will be affected and lose it then I still disagree with that but there you go am happy to be corrected if I'm wrong though

Thanks for the Asda baby club tip - just registered, only to find out I can't print the coupon off at work as I can't install the printer thingy. Hopefully I haven't wasted the voucher, and I'll be able to sort it when I get home!

I wasted umpteen hours trying to print one last night for the other half (got to be some advantage to him being the other side of the country!). If you keep/email yourself the link you click on to print the coupon out, you can do it on another computer, I eventually emailed it to my Mum and it worked straight away there. The link you need is the one that starts "bricks.couponmicrosite"

Thanks, will try that although I don't think I even got that far. I sent the link to DH and asked him to sign up in Windows. His reply: it didn't work, the voucher doesn't print in Linux. I wouldn't have specifically asked him to start his computer in Windows if the coupon printed in Linux... :wall:

Can't remember exactly now, despite spending hours on it! ;D But I think once you've signed up there was a big green button saying click here to get the voucher, and that takes you to the coupon page. So if you've got that far, try right clicking on the button and seeing what the link says?

The length of a piece of string!

Ive had them take 20 minutes when baby has been nice and compliant.. but I have also had them take 2 hours as the baby has been in difficult positions an they send you off to trot about and try to get baby to move then call you back in..

The last 2 I have had to go back for rescans.

So it all depends on how naughty your baby is

Thank you pigpen x was curious as my son wants to come to scan again but he'll have to take some time off from college.
