So I've been mainly on the sofa, catching up on television, much needed me time :))
Well the weekend after a really bad day on Friday, hubby suggested we went out to have a butchers at some baby stuff, after weeks and weeks of having to keep quiet and seeing stuff that we wanted, it finally meant we could go check out the baby shops. Now we didn't intend to actually buy anything, but when I was in the shop I just couldn't say no to the deal I had found. Thanks to hubby and the Mother In Law, and after some online browsing. I think I had seen the most amazing, most suitable pram and car seat set. Initially I had seen a few I liked, but with prices ranging from £300-£1000 I thought I would like to see durability, ease of use etc.
So armed with my 22% off babies are us coupon, thanks to the royal baby birth earlier in the week. I knew there could be a potentially very good savings to be had.
So in we went, and I looked at the few I had seen online, but it appeared that the prices in store were higher than any other websites I looked at and this was on all of the prams I had looked at. After finding a sales rep, I asked if they price compared to other shops, because I had seen the goods elsewhere for cheaper and some offering free gifts etc. the lady confirmed with her manager that they would price compare to any store or website so long as I could show them the difference. So loaded up the John Lewis website and they price matched the pram, and instant saving of £60.00 :) I was happy, I then found that somewhere else was giving a free car seat with the pram, which they also matched. Another saving of £130.00 (very happy me) then I asked if I could use my 22% off voucher and they agreed that too.
So I actually saved with the discount a whopping £300 :) my pram and car seat all in all cost me £210 :)) very happy Nikki :)) so here's what I got:
Photos obtained from google. One would say a massive bargain :)) hubby likes it too, I was simply too much of a good deal to not buy. But the most important thing has been purchased.
I also managed to get a baby gym, 20% off in asda for the royal birth too and some vests.
Once again a massive bargain :))
So all in all a very productive weekend of shopping, can honestly say if I carry on finding bargains I think bubba will have everything it needs and more before long. The Mother In Law and Father In Law have even got a baby fund going, they have agreed to buy some bits for us, like steriliser and bottles, other bits and pieces and I know the MIL will be busy shopping because she is just too excited. She has already told us that she will have the kids for us once a month so me and hubby can have time together, it's so lovely to have genuine support and people around us who care very much.
I must not forget that my girlies Rebecca, Victoria, Danielle and Julie have been absolute stars, they have been there for me when I am down, supporting me through all the crap I've got going on at work and more.
I'm very excited about things to come. Life is good apart from work, but then all in all, I just have to remember I won't be there for long before I go off on maternity leave for 6 months :))
Roll on 2014 x
