    If it helps - I got mine for £10 from the Bounty website - if you register with them (which is free).

    I'm looking forward to it!! :rotfl:
    Baby due on 7th August - eep! :j

    superflygal, thanks for the invite, now if you could just move the show to London...
    And our boys are only 7 months aren't they? (it's very important as I want to keep my baby a baby!)
    Sounds like everyone's going! Check out some pushchairs for me, my next project :rolleyes:
    :wall:

    That's nice to go with your man, September Baby. Although, I'm taking my little DJ particularly cos there are play areas, FREE food for under 1s. Free nappies and wipes at Pampers stand and Huggies stand (he will never have had so many nappy changes or be so stuffed full of free food lol)

    Agutka, I know, I love my baby being a baby!! I'm afraid if i move the baby show to london for you, it won't be very MSE for mum, baby and me to drive there! hahaha!

    Yes the freebies were exceptional last yr. Mum and I got there about 11am, and went to every stand to see what was being given out!

    WE should make "I LOVE MARTIN LEWIS" badges to identify MSEs hahaha!

    there are some tickets on ebay buy now at £9 plus 50p post.

    The cheapest i have seen on the offical site are £10 with the bounty code and then 95p booking fee and you have to book for a specific day but the ebay ones are for any day which is prefect if you arent too sure which day you want to go...i have a bit of SPD so didnt want to book for friday and then not be able to go so i got one off ebay.

    Not sure if allowed to post the link, hope it is?

    They are complimentary tickets but i dont mind if it saves me some cash.

    the bounty code, for those that would rather book direct is -

    BS90

    Thanks, Ann! Still haven't decided how to get mine yet. I have a BOGOF voucher to be used on any of the days so I might just stick with that.

    DH checked on the NEC website and the parking fee is £8! :eek: . Robbing swines :rotfl:

    bogof seems oo good to miss!!

    Im getting the train but if you will be buying loads or there are a couple of you going the NEC car park would be best.

    Last time we went we parked at the international train station £6 all day and just walked across the concourse (spelling) to the NEC.....was a shorter walk than from the NEC carpark too and inside but still a walk!! Was no long ques at the train station car park either!!

    Just depends whats easier for you, if you go in the car they are doing a collection point this time too so you can leave anything you buy with them and collect it in the car later...beats carrying it!!

    Hi all,

    Robbing gits! £8!!!!! Not sure if this will be cheaper (?) But maybe try the airport too for parking? I know you now get 60mins free in the Long stay. You can take the Monorail (free) from T1 to NEC (great if raining) then follow signs to Babyshow. It could be worth booking one day at airport online?

    Going on Sunday! Can't wait! Although my baba is teething and prone to the grizzles atm.

    Getting thru the Calpol like no one's business!!

    Have a good time everyone!

    Hi,

    I ordered tickets on the bounty website. They cost £10.00 + £0.95 transaction fee! Mine arrived just in time along with three others belonging to someone else from the West Midlands :confused: .

    Looking forward to going tomorrow.

    Me and OH will be there on the Sunday!

    I know from where we live that £8 parking + diesel to get there will be cheaper than 2 adult returns on the train, AND we don't have to wait around in a train station AND I might be able to convince OH to let me buy things, teehee!
    I don't believe and I never did that two wrongs make a right
