Meningitus Alert Packs

We are waiting for our first delivery of the Meningitus early alert packs which, should arrive on Monday. We are willing to ship worldwide as it is such a devestating disease!

Please let me know if you would like one as I currently have a waiting list!

Early detection may be able to save a child and I have kept one for my own little boy. If it helps even one child then it is worth buying. Quite often symptoms of meningitus and septecaemia can be missed by GP's and doctors at the hospital but this pack may help to give a more definitive result for faster treatment!

No Added VAT

Well I had not realised it had been so long since I had posted anything new! Things have been quite hectic lately.

I wanted to make sure that you all knew that we NEVER charge VAT on any of our products! This includes every item on our website and in our shop. We believe that we need to keep our prices competitive but also feel that prices are too high for customers. It is so expensive to bring a child up and we try to accomodate for that by ensuring that we do not charge extra to our customers!

Some Day Off!

Well, what is supposed to happen on a day off? Any ideas?

It is not that you can rest and relax, oh no! I tried to have a day off work today and spent much of the day with the phone glued to my ear! I feel as if sometimes I might as well be at work and not try to take a day off. I have been almost as busy, at least it is a slight change of scenery. Well the supermarket again it seems that we never escape there no matter how hard we try.

I am going to have to collect my little boy from school, sort out the tea, go through any homework, then play with him and then before I know it bathtime and finally bedtime! What a day, always a routine to follow day in day out!

Time Flies When Having Fun!

Wow, has it really been so long since my last blog? I really can't believe it! Does not seem more than a few weeks, must be my age catching up!

So much has happened in that time what with Christmas, New Year and Sales!

Even the VAT has changed for the worse! I can't believe the government now has it as 20%, seems so silly when wages and benefits have not gone up, especially pensions. How are we all supposed to pay higher taxes, fuel bills, food etc and not receive anymore money that we already are? Seems to me that the government is jumping too fast on the wrong people. Small businesses are really struggling and finding it harder to get through day to day. So many are closing and yet babies are still being born. Will we be falling over cliffs into the sea when the population explosion happens? We may have to live on ships when the country collapses of weight issues! But the banks still get away with the problems they caused in the beginning. They are still to continue paying a new tax but they will take it out of the public in one way or another! Isn't that always the way it goes where we end up paying for other peoples mistakes?

We are still needing people to sign our petition to reduce the VAT on babies cots and cribs!

We are almost finished our new website (What finally I hear you say)! I am putting a few more of our lovely products on and need to change a few photographs etc and then we hope to go live by the end of next week! We will still be adding products on as we work however and be http://www.welcomebabyhome.co.uk/!

Sleep!!!

Why is it that you wake up in the night and can be quite awake but the next morning you are shattered?

Looks like that is going to be me tomorrow as I was woken up by a noise and cannot get back to sleep now been up for over half an hour and going to have serious problems tomorrow!

Not looking forward to it! Can hear my little boy moving around upstairs every now and then, suppose I have to go back up some time.

Identity Fraud Prevention Award 2010

Welcome Baby Home have won an award for the Prevention of Identity Fraud 2010!
At Welcome Baby Home we strive to make our business as safe as possible for our customers and are extremely careful with our customers details. We think this is very important as identity fraud is very big business for fraudsters! We strive to combat this by making thorough checks with our orders and customers before sending any products out and are very careful with customers addresses.
Next week is Identity Fraud Prevention week and it is vital that everyone is vigilant and very careful with personal information on bills, bank statements and many other types of documents as well as credit and debit cards.
We are very proud to have won this award and will continue to keep up the good work!

What a day!

Well what a day it has been today!

Unfortunately, we had to close early due to my catching a chest infection from my little boy! That is the only problem when you have children as when they start school they catch any infections going and then pass them around for good measure. But would we really want to be without them? I know I would not even when he is very naughty and mischevous. We are also closed next Friday and Saturday as I am at the Ramside Hall and my sister (business partner) has my little rascal!

We also hope to have a new member of staff starting on Monday, Gill. She will be learning the ropes of our website and working in the shop.
