I like the Easy2name ones that Mumsnetters get a 10% discount for

mysonsmummy · 16/09/2007 20:00

dont get 'stuck on you' they come off in the wash everytime.

KTeePee · 16/09/2007 20:02

The ones you have to sew on - because you can re-use them. the sewing is a pita though

ja9 · 16/09/2007 20:02

there's just too much coice isn't there!

I did a big comparison when i bought for ds 3 years ago. couldn't be bothered doing the same again this time round so went with the same company for convenience sake. www.nametags.co.uk

choice

Ecmo · 16/09/2007 20:07

easy2nme are best. I've tried lots and they are the easiest to put on, stay on the longest and are easy to read.

Ecmo · 16/09/2007 20:07

easy2name that should say

sparkler · 16/09/2007 20:10

I ordered through easy2name this term. They came through very quickly. The ones I ordered were the iron on ones. Still took quite a while to iron them all on. Have decided that I will use these up but next time I shall just be buying a permanent marker. Much quicker IMO.
Just a little tip: make the most of the space on the labels and duplicate the name you require as you can get more labels out of them that way by cutting them in half. For example:-
Name required on label..

hve labels, company ezepeze labels,
did use someone beginnign with CH... can't remember, a veyr long time ago, still got few left.
middle of term resort to permanent marker.
found a good idea is just the surname, to allow or pass me ons.

elasticbandstand · 16/09/2007 20:15

triplets · 16/09/2007 21:31

Hi triplets, sorry to hijack thread, but just wanted to say, I think I saw you at Tides at the end of last term, were you with your DH and 2 boys and 1 daughter?

Sorry hijack over

PS I did look out for you last week but never saw you!

pinkbubble · 16/09/2007 21:48

Have heard that ezepeze labels are good, I'm not happy as I havent run out of sewing in labels and so I can't justify new labels!

rantinghousewife · 16/09/2007 21:50

Am with sparkler on the marker, never found an iron on nametape that stays on yet!

triplets · 16/09/2007 21:52

Sorry, not ignoring you on purpose, but I'm trying to finish DDs scrapbook pages ecause they want to take them to school tomorrow.

I will look out for you, and if I feel brave enough, I may even say hi!
I should be down there about 6.20pm. DD who is 7 will be swimming and I will have my other DD who was 10 today also with me, quite often DH comes too!

triplets · 17/09/2007 12:41

Hi,
I didn`t feel ignored, and please say hi, I am not ferocious! Only with the kids!!!

OP posts:
pinkbubble · 17/09/2007 13:10

Ok, I will try and pluck up some courage, and if I see you, I will say hi, so if you see a lady with 2 DDs staring, and counting swim bags(because that is what I did last time!) Its not someone stalking you, but trying to work out if you are triplet or not!

NAB3 · 17/09/2007 13:22

I bought the ones with the discount linked to here. They keep peeling off in the wash.

triplets · 21/09/2007 22:56

Pinkbubble.............I looked out for you!

OP posts:
pinkbubble · 21/09/2007 22:57

DH took them instead, will be there next week!
