I'd bought Nicola's Stanly Snail, with the full intention of giving it to DS3 for christmas, but ds1 spotted it and started asking questions so he has it now.
Glad the pre-op went ok Dunoon.
Sal, have you looked on Kiddicare? They had Stokkes in reduced.
With the £500, as long as you get more than the basic family element, then you should get it. If you apply for it and gets declined, then you can appeal once your baby is born, and you might be entitled to it. Don't forget as well, if you call the WTC when you're on maternity leave and tell them your new annual salary (take off £100 for each week you're on mat leave for this tax year), your money will go up as well.
