Just go look at the price of some of the top of the range prams Tweets
One of my friends pays £800 a time for hers (bugaboo? icandy? errrr some other weird named ones too!)

The other granny paid £800 for my grandson's silvercross pram and he's hardly ever out in it. Because she uses the car a lot and the pram is so big and awkward, it's actually hard to get it into the car so my mum bought a cheaper tatty teddy buggy (still cost a small fortune) and he's in that all the time now.

I bought the cot for her and still think it was a ridiculous price but it's the one my DIL wanted. There was a toybox, a wardrobe, rocking chair and a "shelf" that come in the complete package that I just refused to get as it amounted to £900 for those four items. The shelf was £80 :eek::eek::eek: £80 for a plank of wood!

Sorry to be a pain, but can someone shed some light on this glitch for me?

Been away for a week as we were decorating the lounge, thankfully its finished now, but despite reading most of yesterday posts I can't fathom this out.

Have a read of this, it should have most of the details on it.
If you're still stuck just shout

It's shocking how much some people can spend :eek:
I have sensible head on my shoulders before DS2 was born I'd bought 4 brand new buggies and the whole lot came in under £150 :rotfl:
1 travel system, 1 buggy with raincover like you get in the travel systems and 2 cheapie strollers with swivel wheels :T
See I was slightly MSE a few years back, I just wasn't that sensible with money for everything else :rotfl:

Omg :eek::eek::eek::eek: a family in one go but omg her journey must have been so hard. I had 2 goes, miscarried the first and second we have my oldest Isa. And Zak was going to go for a private Ivf and found ur in Australia I was pregnant to him. Before I found Mse I was on a baby forum and I met this lady from Azerbaijan, and we kept in touch she's in London now for a holiday, planning to see her and her family at London zoo. Of curse paid by club card points. I'm praying everything goes well for her pregnancy. It's a roller coaster of a journey but most of us have our bubs in the end.

Wonder if you relaxed a bit more with Zak and weren't as stressed out (obviously going to Oz would have put your concentration elsewhere). I'm a firm believer that you should try to relax about it but it's easy to say when I've never struggled to conceive. I stopped taking the pill (expecting about a year for it to get out my body etc), and 5 weeks later I got pregnant.

how lovely that you kept in touch and are meeting up :T Enjoy london zoo

How stupid am I? I thought that was a bad thing so wasn't getting that jar on my other lists but you've made me realise it was actually a profit.

ha ha :rotfl:We all do it Tweets. I did that the other day... thought I'd got a PP from T saying "you have £7.20" when in actual fact, I'd totally mucked up my shop and it said I' "saved "7.20":rotfl:

:eek: Just seen the time! I think I've spent most of my day on here!
Better do an elite tidy of the house (I'm sure Tiger left me a list of what to do once )
Now where's my air freshener.....

I did a test shop yesterday. Galaxy and Organix Rice Cakes

Rice cakes were 16p in store but on MSM for 65p. I was hoping they would match 65p v 60P (multibuy) in S but they didn't

I have a clomid baby hun, we tried for 2 1/2 years for him and my 3rd round of clomid worked (that was the round where I'd had enough of everything and was ready to give up).
He can be a little monster but gets away with absolute murder quite often which is usually my fault (he was born not breathing so every day I count every day I have with him a blessing )

Gosh, how frightening... I've seen a few of the "one born every minute" programmes and I bawl my eyes out at that.
I'm not having anymore (OH and i have had "The Chat" ). Both kids frightened the life out of me as babies. DS was in paediatrics childrens ward for 7 days at 12 days old on nil by mouth while they figured out what was wrong with him (he couldn't keep milk down). He had an operation at John Radcliffe in Oxford when he was 17 days old. I thought that was a tough old week..... until Tigercub came along and contracted bacterial meningitis at 10 weeks old!! two more weeks in hospital. Luckily she made a full recovery but I can't take it with another one. Could cry if i think about Tigercub's time in hospital... she is very, very lucky.

I hadn't realised having a baby was so expensive these days as it's over 25 years since I had to buy anything baby related. Bouncers, high chairs etc were all quite reasonably priced when my son was born but as soon as you put 'baby' in the title of anything these days that there's a premium price that goes along with it.

But on a lighter note, A baby event begins 26th/27th August. I got a leaflet through yesterday :T

While aau1 is around

If I bought 10 jars of apple & apricot, one jar that's n/a and the trigger, would I then be paid to take them away?

You said you paid 22p but it compared at 50p.

Do you mean it showed as having cost you 50p in A and did that compare against 50p in T? That would give you 5p APG per jar.

10 would give you 50p back so you'd only get a couple of jars free if you were paying 22p a pop

And that's if I'm understanding you correctly in the first place

Spray the polish in the air, fluff the cushions and shove something aromatic in the microwave to make it smell like you've been cooking for a few hours!
