Mummy I had a 4d scan with katie and it was amazing!

UB enjoy your curry, I had chinese the other night because I sold my Wii so thought I'd treat myself ohs on a diet so he didn't get any!
Never heard of beef olives ab :-/
Katies had pizza, banana split and then strawberries and cream and now a packet of cookies! I have no idea where she puts it all!! Ohs working till 11 so I need to get myself something but don't know what I fancy xx

OMG argos is a right ball ache to shop from! We have £330 worth of vouchers to spend there, so I went online, added stuff to my trolley, and when you checkout it's either home delivery, or collect in store, but different days, different stores!! What a load of crap! I just want to go on, click and pay and have it delivered!!! I thought argos was supposed to be easy shopping?! Luckily the nice lady in the customer services is ringing round the shops to see if we can get it all delivered to one store to collect it, as we live rurally and about an hour from each store in different directions!!! Turns out we can't even use the vouchers online anyway......

You'd think they don't want us to spend our money with them?! Just ordered nearly £450 of baby stuff, so hope we can do that or they will sit there unused.

Also just ordered our cotbed but not from bloody argos! Lol

 

[Carlyp1990]

Oh god Zig that sounds like a nightmare! Hope they sort something for you xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

That's one way for them to lose their customers.

Jay woke up at quarter to six having a bad dream but went back off to sleep, he got up at 9 after that and went into my bed and fell straight back to sleep. He's definitely had a well deserved rest x

 

[Mummy to be x]

Wow zig that is ridiculous I hope they sort something for you!

Bless j he must of been shattered, Madeleine went to bed at 7pm and she's not awake yet lol, nursery wipes her out so Thursday is her lie in day

 

[Ziggie]

It's mad, the stores don't seem to be connected, so you can't just get everything delivered to one place - even if it's available in a different store - you have to physically go to different shops to get the stuff. Plus there's stuff you can add to your trolley, but then it's not in stock when you go to the checkout?!! So we ordered over 20 items, 2 of which aren't even in stock.... Makes no sense!!!!

Basically they've contacted one store, and they're getting so many items delivered there we can collect, then on the day we can use the vouchers in store to pay for the rest which they will arrange to be home delivered as you can't collect. Madness.

They need to revise their online shopping I think! Who wants that faff when you can go else where, click, buy and have everything delivered the next day.

 

[Mummy to be x]

I'd go and shop somewhere else, what a pain in the backside that is! I remember a while ago trying to use click and collect with argos for something but they only had it in one store which was too far and it wouldn't be in the store for four days.

 

[ab75]

Aahhhh bless J, he must've been needing that sleep.

Great customer service Zig!! We got Argos vouchers for wedding presents and had the same problem xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Hope you get all the items sorted.

Jay's at nursery so I've managed to clean and tidy downstairs, glass of orange juice and a bag of walkers listening to some country music then I'm off upstairs! OH is back tomorrow so I'm not going to let him think I don't do anything when that's all I do haha. Anyone else find tidying such an effort though? All the bending is so tiring. I've noticed my bump tightening more too x

 

[ab75]

I get really sore trying to do anything ub, and when I stand up from sitting on the couch I can hardly walk with pelvic pain xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I didn't struggle with Jay but this pregnancy is making me feel 40 years older sometimes lol x

 

[Mummy to be x]

I'm struggling too at times, we live on three floors and vacuuming the stair cases is awful, it kills my back. I asked OH to help me yesterday, I felt awful he was slaving away at the cooker but I couldn't physically do it, bending over hurts.... ALOT!

 

[ab75]

Just got a letter from my work saying I am not entitled to statutory sick pay as I don't earn enough, but not entitled to anything from govt as dh works. I was told being off due to pregnancy would not affect my pay! Luckily dh has a well paid job but thats hardly the point. Feels like I've worked my whole life for fuck all!!

 

[Mummy to be x]

Ab that is not good!!! How can they do that?! The government is so unfair

 

[ab75]

I am well pissed off. For all they know dh might not give me any money or be abusive or something. He's not like that but its hardly the point. Going to wait and see what they say about maternity pay/allowance and if thats nowt as well they can shove their job xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

That is really terrible, it's like your not getting anything back for all the hard work you've put in. Totally unacceptable

I hope you can get some maternity allowance, fx'd for you! Xx
