yeah we went there (coz we won tickets :D)

yeah... it was quite good... lots of freebies and lots of interesting stuff :up:

we were thinking of going again inshaAllah

[.: Anna :.]

aww i wana win tickets, otherwise it is 16 quid each i think, which is not that cheap but if its good it cd b worth it.
its over the full weekend right? is there enuf stuff to go there on both days?

[ze leetle elper]

Yp there is loads of stuff to see, you prolly need 2 days to cover the whole floor!

I thought it was brilliant, in fact cos we went for free 1st time :p after going, I would seriously pay to go there next time, especially for new parents/ parents to be, it is brilliant!

Loads of stall selling baby stuff, loads of freebies lol (take as many as you can cos the freebies are GOOD :D ) Free nappy changing areas for babies woohoo don't even need to take nappies with you :p Kitchen areas with baby food provided to feed baby, breatfeeding areas, it is the perfect place to go with the lil one :p

They also have talks and stuff throughout the day, I remember sitting in one session by a nanny from america or something (someone famous maybe I forget her name?) anyway they had q&a sessions it was brilliant her answers were spot on and the advice was great! We ended up buying quite a lot of stuff as well, loads of ELC stuff, and stuff you would not necessarily find in the stores but is quite handy to have with a new baby!

If we do go, I think we would prolly go to the Earls Court one, that is the one we went to last time, was great cos you come out the tube station and the entrance is right in front of you hehe :up: :D

If you guys go, let us know we can meet up :D

[ze leetle elper]

I dunno :D My mum entered me on some competition and didn't tell me and one day I opened the post to find a big congratulations and that I had won free tickets :D

Mums :inlove: :love: :inlove:

[.: Anna :.]

earls court one is in oct tho i think? so ill rather go to this one coming up in feb cos by oct beb is gna be born and id rather go before so i cn get stuff in advance. u shud come to this one, i havent seen u for ages! muslim sis u shud come too, can be like a ummah sisters meetup :p

that excel place is the same one where they kept gpu when we went right? that is not so hard to get to, near a station aswell.

I so wanna go :inlove: Is it worth going if you don't have children?

Well it says its for those expecting as well and it says its got all info etc about from pregnancy to childbirth to childhood. So its pretty good whatever stage you are at. But I think its extra good if you're pregnant because then you can get all the discounts, freebies etc beforehand as well as a large insight into things. I hope it is as good as it sounds !

Oh, oh right...Well i guess if you're planning to have a baby in the near future all the info as well as the coupon discounts etc will come in handy.

[ummbilal]

ooh inshaallah i might check it out.

:jkk:

[dhakiyya]

I want to go :( but I expect they don't have them in Saudi :(

they ought to..... a family with five kids is considered small here lol

if they did have them they'd be women only I think :hidban: probably they'd have a mens area to leave your husband in, with football on the telly or something lol

[dhakiyya]

btw just so it doesn't cause any big arguments or anything.... I was joking about the mens area :up: either it would be women only and the men would go away and do something else and pick up their wives later, or it would be like the malls where men can enter but only if accompanied by his wife or a mahram.

[UmmAayman]

i wanna go let me coooooooooooooome :blobblue: wohoo! with my lil one and one on the way i am def in need of some freebies!

when is the one in earls court? i would probably go to that one.

[UmmAayman]
