I'm going Friday morning, first thing -- I like to get it out of the way! I bet it will be packed, though -- it always is. But this year I am wise and I know what to pack in the stroller for Em, and to take cash, and a cloth grocery bag for my purchases. (Busies self making plan of action) |

| I really want to go but my work has a stand there so as we're still TTC I don't want to run into anyone that might tell. |

That sounds like a great idea Emma. Will PM you. Speaking of the snazzipants thing, did you know they have a similar contest to last year. You can get the snazzipants logo off the website and win snazzipants dollars. I am trying to think up interesting things to do with it at the moment!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We're going Friday morning as well (as long as I don't have to work). Early attack seems best before Miss C turns ferral.
Will also be interesting to see who Pepsicles roped in to run their HC stand *cough* slave labour ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I got a mailer in our junk mail today, there's also going to be a perfume/makeup/sunglass (all named brands) sale in building 6 I think that's the building on your right as you go into the main gate.
They've got my fave YSL perfume for $45!! Normally it's $90. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

I'm hoping to go tomorrow with a non ohbaby friend. Her baby is 1 now and she will be leaving him with his Nana so she can help me with Alyssa if she gets grumpy. I went last year when I was Preggers but didn't know if Alyssa was a boy or a girls so really didn't get into it much. But still got lots of free new born nappies etc so hoping this year will be better. Only this year I have no money....just can't win. ------------- Mum to Natasha Aroha 9/12/1995, Alexandra Makareta Waimarie 22/4/1998 and....Alyssa Frances Hopaea 18/03/2007

Friday morning is the craziest time to go if you are talking about crowds. We went Sunday afternoon last year and it was great! Not too many crowds and easily got to see everything, but all the Friday people were complaining about how mad it was.
I'll be there on the coffeegroup.org stand on Friday morning until 1.30 pm and Sunday afternoon from 1.30 pm. I'm planning to snoop around the show at other times when I have the opportunity. |
