Indeed they are.. they sent us a bath with none of the legs then said it would be 3 weeks before we got them delivered!! ... Let's just say I am very persuasive and not only did I get them within 36 hours.. I got 3 lots ..

2 adults, 8 children and no bath was bad enough for the 5 days we were without.. another 3 weeks I'd have been fit to kill them..

I'll probably email rather than phone back and lay it on thick - I'm heavily pregnant don't ya know! - it's only wallpaper I've ordered but I really wanted to get started on it tonight!

( chronic heartburn too, been drinking milk like jts going out of fashion but then it would appear that my stomach can only tolerate small amounts of milk. Fun times. Will just continue to steal the fathers zantac :rotfl:

see if your GP will prescribe Omeprazole. I had chronic heartburn last time and this really helped. Just 1 tablet a day. i have taken it this time too.

Just saw this on the bbc site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-23143652

I can see where they are coming from, but my first thought was that its not stopping til the end of the year, so I'll still get my freebies in September!

I'm not surprised tbh - no other part of the medical profession allows marketing. The fact that they'll try and get you to buy a picture of your newborn for an extortionate prices just hours after you've given birth just doesn't sit right with me.

This however:
"According to the HMRC, 82% of all UK child benefit paid is as a result of the forms handed out by Bounty ladies.""
Is a ridiculous statement. If bounty didn't give forms it wouldn't mean that 82% of people wouldn't claim child benefit - they're just using the most convenient method!

Well I've led on the sofa, been for a walk, scrubbed the bathroom walls and floors and cleaned it all, sorted out the bathroom drawers and the airing cupboard and changed the bed but nothing, not a single twinge or pain - obviously baby isn't wanting to come out today

There's a tempt of fate if ever I did see one. Cue 11pm waters breaking and 3am rush to hospital xx

I agree Claree, i think its ridiculous that they are allowed to come round hassling new mothers a few hours after giving birth! I have heard lots of stories about how forceful they can be with their sales tactics and even telling people they wont get child benefit if they dont hand over their details to get a form off them. I've heard they use your details to send lots of marketing rubbish afterwards to.
