At least now Im not so worried that we didnt make it. I'm just gutted I didnt get to see OHBaby! DH wanted to come but Im sure he would have hated it aswell.
Tonight we are going to have a nice dinner to make up for the money we saved not going

The Auckland one will be better with more exhibitors. Didn't get $10 worth of free stuff this year. The only free things were last quarters issue of OHBaby (which I didn't have) and Huggies newborn nappy pack.

I am glad now we didn't make the trip down there as we were going to. Last years show was great I walked out with heaps.
Will have to save that month to get up there. I have an exam on the 1st of November so may not make it up till Sunday.

I went yesterday, and it was FREEZING inside the stadium. Poor DH wasn't wearing enough layers.
For the $10 entry fee, I didn't think there were enough stalls in there, and also disappointed by the lack of free stuff. But in saying that, DH and I managed to get a good deal on a couple of things, such as a Brio Zento car seat.
I think it would have been better to hold it in November, when it is warm in Wellington.

Vicki and I have just got back to our hotel from packing up the OHbaby! stand. It was a busy day -- maybe a little bit less busy than yesterday, but that was actually really good as it gave us more of a chance to chat to the people who stopped by. I met some fantastic forum members and some really cool new mums whom I hope will now feel encouraged to stop by and hang out with us here! All in all we thought it was a great opportunity to meet people, tell them about us, and tell them about this community.
If you missed us, we'll definitely be at the Auckland Parent & Child Show with more fantastic freebies and another cool subscription deal, so please stop by and say hello. Now I'm off to have a very late dinner in my pyjamas -- we fly back to Auckland tomorrow and it'll be good to head home to my family, but I'll be sad to leave Wellywood. The people are just so nice down here!

Hi LizzyJ, it's lovely to see you on here and was neat to meet you today too! I can't believe how many lovely mums we have on here... Actually, I can believe it, and I feel very lucky. Please stick around the forums. It will be lovely to get to know you (and your little one!).

Yeah I was a bit disappointed this year. Kels and I enjoyed it so much last year and I don't know what it was this time but I didn't think as much of it. Maybe the fact I am so pregnant or something like that. There didn't seem to be as much or as good show specials. My Huggies bag didn't actually have the sample in it  Oh well. It was great to see the OB ladies - you all looked lovely  And the stand looked great. Hope you weren't too exhausted after it all.

Leish, we are absolutely knackered! But buzzing from all the excitement of the weekend. I'm really glad there's a month and a half left til the Auckland show as I need a bit of recovery time! We're back in Auckland today and back to work, as the Spring issue of OHbaby! Magazine goes to print in just under two weeks (woohoo!).
