Health in pregnancy grant - how will you use yours?

I spent most of mine on baby stuff on ebay. Have £50 left , Going on my brothers birthday present.. and then normal bills, Cause I havent been paid so have to use that now. B**tards.
 
I'm not entitled to it either. Glad I'll get the sure start grant though!
 
mine has just been sent off and i have given the bank details of my savings account :D which needs some money so thought id do that as im a good girl lol x
 
I think we will stick ours in little legs bank account....we started a monthy saving plan for this baby as did with DD as soon as I found out I was pregnant so will prob just pop it in there and hopefully let it grow for the next 18 years!

Apparently I just fall within the cut off time of 31st Dec so glad about that lol xx
 
Christmas prezzies, all of our cash has gone towards baby and getingt he house sorted so far so will need the extra for Christmas present, will get my form on Tuesday when I have my 25week appointment. How long does it take to come through?
 
I will be spending mine on bills and presents maybe a little something for me, ALso I want to put some of my grant money aside for the babys bank account because we don't get the trust funds anymore :(

Hopefully I get them. I should do by my dates but hey who knows my midwife is shit and never does anything right locally.

Amanda, You can still get the 190, ring up the midwife unit and they will send you the form with their bit pre signed, I didnt send off mine till 29 weeks

We're going to use it for the NCT classes. We've been umming and erring about them cos of the cost, so thanks to this thread, it's made us remember there's some extra cash for it :)
