I sent off for it (can't remember when now ) and had the money in my account 8 days later .

I owed most of it to my mum as she had paid for my crib and other bits and bobs I had planned to buy with it, so when I got it I just gave it to her.

So technically I spent it on a crib and lots of things that will be needed for when LO arrives .​

I think mine took about a month to come through.
Mine went on bills

I sent mine off on Tuesday and I haven't been out yet to check my bank balance as I seem to have been attacked by a bug/virus thing... And, I have no idea what I'll be spending it on. Do you have any sort of idea? x

 

[mayb_baby]

I sent mine on Fri last week but havn't got it yet

I wanna get his letters for his room and his changing Table as he has or is getting most of his other bits xxx

 

[EffyKat]

I'm thinking about clothes as his other bits are all paid for and everything. But I'm unsure, I guess I'll know for sure when I get the money x

I sent mine off on a wednesday and it was in the bank the following friday.

I spent alot of it on bits for her nursery, some clothes, nappies wipes and a sensor mat

Well i've literally just got off the phone with them, its been 4 weeks since i sent mine off and apperently theres no record of it on their database! so now i have to reapply and possibly wait another four weeks. Bubs will be here before i get the damn money at this rate

i sent mine off last wednesday (the 8th) and its not in the bank yet but i'm hoping it will arrive in the next 4 days, i have stuff to buy for my baby shower next sunday with it!!! otherwise i'll be fluttering my eyelashes at my dad to lend me the money til it comes through

but other than baby shower bits (and there isnt much i need to get) i'm owe my dad £30 for my pregnancy pillow which i bought today and its sooooooooooooo comfy ... i think im in love! and then saving the rest til after LO arrives so i can go shopping for gender specific clothes

My midwives were lame and had no forms.

I was not amused. I have planned the spendage of the money already and could really do with it now for getting through the month.

They better have it at my 28 week appointment or I'm gonna be raging.

 

[Sophiiie]

mine took about 10 days noticed it in my account about 2 weeks after but looking at the dates it had only taken 10 days to go in. can't remember exactly what we got with it but I know we used it to get a swinging chair x

 

[LoisP]

mine took about 2 weeks to come through i think, wow, i can't remember, baby brain
and used it to get few extra baby bits, and a scan

 

[veganmum2be]

[MrsEngland]
