Thanks Wendy :)

Was a decent free morning :) Got some good info without it being completely packed, like an the PCBs.. and sat and listened to the Baby Whisperer woman.

I did some ribbon spotting :D I said hello to Billy&Beth and also.. oh god, can we blame breastfeedingbrain :( I forget. *sniffs* I'm sorry.

erk!

Well, i went and didn't see anybody. Must admit, i forgot my ribbon though. I was looking for them.
Was a fun day, a bit disappointed with the expo, the last one (was it last month?) was much better.
I took DD1 only in the sling so we got to go on the train, then the citycat and we were going to go on a bus but she fell asleep! lol
She loved it! We don't ever use public transport as its a pain in the bum with a pram especially with both girls, so she was very excited to get a go on the train + boat.
Next year i think we'll just go to the big one. Yeah, the crowds a pain, but there is much more to see.
Cheers!

Okay, for those that attended today - is it worth going? What is the sample bag like? Are there lots of stalls or is it more talks from experts? I've got free tickets and was considering going tomorrow afternoon with DD ........now I'm not so sure?

oh no..
i didnt know it was on this weekend.. Does anyone know how much it costs to get in... My pink ribbon hasnt turned up yet so i guess that i will just have to tie a normal pink ribbon to my pram..
what time does it open in the morning ... i will have to head in early..
oh ladies
DONT FORGET TO VOTE IN THE MORNING
enjoy ur night

For a free afternoon's entertainment it wasn't too bad - though much much smaller than I'd expected. Perhaps team it up with a wander around Southbank or something. I would have been seriously :banghead: :mad: if I'd forked out the $12 entry they were asking though!

Other than the people I went with I only spotted one other pink ribbon :wave: hello Seekrit & Cobey!

After reading all responses I think I won't bother going on Sunday as planned. I'm still using samples from the Expo Jun/July so maybe I'll just wait for the same one next year when I'm hoping to have No. 2 on the way and can really get some good maternity stuff.

TO be honest, it wasn't as good as I thought it would be! It was quite informative, but DEFINETLY not orth paying $12 to get in! LUCKILY I didn't have to pay!! :yelclap:
Anyway.....worth going if you have good a free ticket!
Also, we entered in to ALL competitions :thumbsup: so hopefully thats a bonus!!

The seminar things were good too!!

I only saw ONE pink ribbon though :no: but, was busy feeding in the EXCELLENT Huggies Parents room, so couldn't chat!

Have a great day if you're going....get there EARLY, as you can imagine, its pram CENTRAL!!!

I was disappointed :(

Parents room was cool though!

I forgot my pink ribbon so no one would recognise me :cool: I'd hate to be stampeded by my fans in the middle of a nappy change ;)
