Well we braved the....

Parent anc Child show, and I must say it was well worth it! People just went gaga over the gremlins so I got twice as much free stuff. I counted my nappy samples and I got 32 nappies! And fr all my complaining about how much I don't like the Treasures people, I got 20 free samples of Treasures Ultra, and each one came with a $1 off coupon, so I might have to change my opinion on that one... The Treasures subscribers goody bags were pretty good too.

Highlight of the show tho was these really cool heat pack things that you snap and they get hot instantly then you reboil them. Soooooo good formy sore boobies. Oh and the My Blanket people, love them too....

lol you consumer you! Pleased to hear all went well for you guys at the P&C show. Has your home help started yet?

Hehe, yep I'm a total consumer! My home help nanny started last Tues but to be honest I'm finding it hard to know what to do with her. The girls sleep so much. But Thurs I left them with her and Maya and I went on a 'date' to the park and had lunch together.

Paws - LOL at the 'more' cloth nappies - Gsmum is still trying to convince me to try modern cloth but I'm stuck on the good old cloth squares. I did score a couple of free Snazzipants covers with the cool sign that Gsmum made for my pram tho

Modern cloth rock!! (I just can't resist the gorgeous colours!!)

I wish we could go back...there is another snazzi design that B wants but's not on thier website but was at the show...oh well...probably a good thing we're out of money!

Whew ! Good thing we went early Erin loved it, and Roland was quite happy to tote her around in the front pack - we can finally have her facing outwards now that she has a bit more head control. As far as good buys go, I think my favorite deal *had* to be the 1kg boxes of Persil Sensitive for $3 !

I loved the show but like Jax am so pleased we went early (actually arrived before it opened). The persil was a great bargin, as was our pram, which we got for $100 off, is getting couriered in a few weeks.

Picked up a few other things, but by the end I had just had enough and wanted to go home. What did annoy me was the lack of food for pregnant women (perhaps that was just me), I really felt there was little there for me to eat, and it got really hot in there but again that could have been me. The avent ladies were very kind and found me a seat and got me a drink of water to try and cool down.

Oh and the little treasures goodie bag, what a score! so much free stuff in there

I got a box of Huggies newborn for $29.95 from Diapers Direct, it's being delivered on Mon, and 3 packs of Sealer nappies for $10 which is great coz my girls are eating their way thru a packet of nappies every two days atm.

We didn't go near the cafe, but I did scoff the free Peanut Butter cups I got from Curash (then felt guilty since I am on a no peanut breastfeeding diet...)

lol vibrating condoms...... hmm might google those.... the keep it clean pacifier sounds great.

LOl they made us try the vibrating P-s ring...hmmm,....am glad DH wasnt there!!!
Scored heaps of free stuff...and was glad i had bought some claci yum when we saw it as we stopped around the show and sipped on that when we got too hot - it was really hot in there...cant beleive how much stuff we got and was really pleased with the brainy baby toys - and the free baby music cd they gave us...cool! Lady at stand selling the baby netting covers wasnt impressed when i told her the $2 shops were selling them - she had them for $13...and then lady next to me said shed seen them at $2 shop too! We moved on quick after that LOL!!!
Am pleased to be sitting down now tho...finally = there werent enough chairs there at all

why oh why don't they come to Gisborne? we have TONS of kids I swear!
