    They scan on the 3 for £5 125ml:D
    Thanks Bubbs
    Just tried it and i didn't scan, the sa wouldn't put it through as it wasn't the same one on the pic :(


    ETA I tried the whitening 125ml colgate toothpaste. looks like i was unlucky
    Sorry you got unlucky

    Thanks Bubbs, but wanted to let you know the deal has got better as the 125ml are now half price at £1.34 each, so 34p per tube!:j

    Sorry to quote myself, but not sure if what I have put above is now correct. tbw confirmed it works on 125ml so I just assumed it was the one which is now half price. I didn't realise there were so many different deals on 125ml Colgate toothpastes, until I just looked at the website.

    Can anyone confirm if the voucher scans ok against the half price 100ml toothpaste @£1.34?

    EDIT I am making a right pigs ear of this! Now realised its 100ml which is half price. It's the 125ml which is 3 for £5 which does scan ok as per Bubbs and tbw confirmation.

    Thank you everyone for your congratulations.
    It's really lovely to have people that I don't even know being positive for us.
    We haven't told anyone IRL as we are dreading the comments that we will get. I think some of you know that we have six children already. I realise that is a lot but they are amazing children and even though it wasn't planned there is no real reason to not add another person to our family. DH is an amazing husband and Daddy, has a reasonable job and would do anything for us. We have a big enough house (just), mortgaged but we will get there. I am lucky enough to be a SAHM so don't rely on anyone else for childcare, other than the odd evening out when my Mum babysits. We are always being complimented on how well behaved and polite the children are and on the whole I think we do a pretty good job with them- DH and I make a good team and make up for each other's short comings. Thanks to you guys the children are well fed and clothed, don't really go without anything and what they do go without is more than made up for in love. They are all very proud of each other and love and support each other.
    Despite all this I know that we will receive very negative reactions from family. I don't even really understand why.
    So thank you for being happy for us, it means a lot xxx

    Pay no attention to negative comments. You sound like wonderful parents and if you want to add to your family then you should without worrying about what others say. You and your husband are providing financially and emotionally for your children by working hard and giving them all the care they need.
    Try not to let anyone spoil what is a very happy and special time for you. :)

    thanks for advice on first utility. I'm not the sort of person who likes to be 25 th in the queue so think i'll tell them where to stick their 300 deposit.

    it s a bit of a joke when most of your gas charges go the standing charge but it won't be long before credit rating improves and there's bound to be another deal.

    Previously I would have thought that was a lot of kids, but my best friend has 6 (including 3 adopted), last one was an accident at the age of 46. Until not so long ago they all lived at home along with one of her sons' girlfriend and her grandson. It was one big happy family and she absolutely thrives on it. Her OH works very hard to support them, but it somehow works fantastically well. At the end of the day one more doesn't make a lot of difference when you have that many, especially if you managed to keep clothes and equipment, and you have built in babysitters when the older kids are old enough :D
