MSE Pregnancy Club 22

Just checked about the points event...

It'll run from Friday (26th) to Wednesday (31st) and will be 10 points per £1 when you spend £15

If you're in the baby/parenting club it's 10 points per £1 when you buy on baby things?

I have £88 on my advantage card, trying to save enough to get the Medela swing breast pump.

Yeah if you're already a Parenting Club member then you'll get 10 points per £1 on baby stuff anyway, but the points event is across everything in store.

Well done on the £88! That's brilliant! I think I've got nearly the same amount on mine, I was thinking of getting the same breast pump too

We almost had the same due date too, before the silly hospital put me back!

I'm not sure whether to be happy or depressed at having £88 on my advantage card, considering I have no children I wonder what the heck I've bought to justify that amount, I used to joke I was a "Boots addict" Tempted to go into town and have a look round Boots now, just text my OH, and he said to go ahead, this doesn't happen often, shame he didn't feel the same when I wanted to buy shoes in the past...

I think it's amazing sometimes how the points creep up, especially if you don't use them to treat yourself to anything very often. I know people who save their points up every year and use them to buy their Christmas presents, one of the women who used to work on my team always had over £200 worth of points!

Winnie.. fingers crossed all is fine.. Im sure it will be

I save Boots points for christmas shopping too.. I usually have about £120 a year on mine.. slacking this year, so far I only have £48

Muppet here has now got thrush.. thank goodness I ALWAYS have Canesten in! Hopefully it wont last long... sign I have been devouring far too much sugar usually..

I need to take the children for school shoes on Friday... should be.. interesting! The girls away away next week with KH so I will take them this week and take the boys next week when the girls are away. We cant fit all 7 in the car.. otherwise Id do one trip!

I FORCED (heehee) OH to feel the babys hiccups this morning.. he was NOT impressed.. it is the first time he has felt the baby move at all he is just so uninterested I think it is really sad.

I asked OH to tip his rubbish out of the crib before Saturday so I can wash my way through the remaining stuff this coming weekend while the children are not here.

2 weeks today and we are ALL back to school!! I cant wait! I dont think they can either TBH! ooooh... exciting news of the decade... DD4 fits in the age 7 school trousers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (She is 9 and on growth hormone replacement)

So.. names to be written in trousers and I need to sort the girls drawers again.. DD4 has outgrown a few things in the last couple of months so we need to fling some out and make space for her school stuff..

I have some outstanding stuff from a mothercare order I need to chase too... shall do that now..

When you think how much you have to spend to get the points though :eek:

I guess working there though you probably buy loads of stuff, I once had an interview and didn't go because the thought of actually working there, I'd have no wages left

Hope you have better luck shoe shopping then i did we went this morning EARLY got DD's feet measured and there are NO shoes in her size there. we live in quite a rural location and our next closest clarks shoe shop will be an hours drive ;-( might just send her in her trainers for the first week or 2?

delain

I've lost my boots card so only have £12 in points! Must get a replacement. Mind you with 2 babies it will all start to add up soon, scary.

Also if you buy appliances from Boots Kitchen Appliances you get points too

Jenjade get her measured instore then get them off the t'internet. Clarks have a website.

There are 3 shops here and a brantanos here and a startrite someone will have something, failing that I will order online and have them delivered to a shop to be fitted.. we have huge problems buying shoes anyway and usually have a choice of this pair or none at all.. They have a really high instep, low ankle bones and a knobbly bit on the top of their feet.. These still have the shoes from last term which will mostly still fit I think so it isnt too desperate.. my older ones ae not allowed trainers for school they all have to have black shoes.. the boys shoes are currently an inch thick in mud! .. but they can clean them if needs be.
