Try AT, Loft, or BR. Do you have anything for those places?

I've only bought from BR a few times for my son, so I don't have anything for them. I've never shopped at AT or Loft or entered my email addy there.

Thanks, GH! She's feeling a little better today...she had the flu and I think she was kinda dehydrated, not eating or sleeping well either. She's a third year med student and she had exams the week she started feeling sick, so until I showed up and started bullying her into taking care of herself, she wasn't :s hake: : lol:

I don't know if you're open to getting a new cc, but if so, the Kohls card is definitely one I'd recommend. I'm a joint user on my mom's cc right now, but I definitely plan on getting one of my own in the future - I think it's got some of the best benefits of the store CCs that I've seen. If you spend a certain amount (I think it's like $600) in a year, you get additional savings opportunities (20% off, pick your day, etc). They also send birthday coupons : )

Little sis to the rescue. My big sisters won't let me bully them around.

We're trying really hard to live a CC free life. We paid ours off a couple years ago, & haven't used one since. The deals you girls get make it hard for me to resist signing up for one at places like Kohls & VS though. It doesn't help that VS keeps sending pop-up invitations for a pre-approved CC, when I log into my acct. It's getting harder & harder to stay strong.

I got the bullet, it makes baby food and you can use it for other things, I got it at costco for @$65. I have some store bought food on hand for when we go out. I like to make the food. It can be time consuming, but I use ice cube trays to freeze the puree baby food, usuually I put out the baby food the night before in the fridge in plastic tuperware for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I also have the natural applesause on hand. We eat a lot of bananas, pears, sweet potato and squash. Pumpkin the can is great too! ds likes pumpkin and banana. HTH

I give my kids home made food...but I don't go out of my way to make the baby food. Like I pick stuff out of our adult food and just give the baby that

Spices and all. hehe I have three so far...and that's been my process. Or sometimes I'll pull things out before it's been spiced and everything (chicken, etc) and just mash that up with a fork (or my hands) and feed that to the baby. I don't think you necessarily have to puree food in a blender, just mash it up in a bowl so it's easier for them. In my experience, my kids like the texture more than pureed stuff. HTH....but to each mommy their own. you may prefer the blender, but this was just easier for me and my kids liked it better that way too

thanks for the opinions ladies! i went ahead and bought the one that steams too last night. i asked dh and he was all for it.

i spoke too soon about my express next... i received card for my non-main account

is it maybe because my main acct is already tied up to the express cc?

alvs, do you have a next card separate from the cc you need to present when purchasing to get points?

You're right. I found some things I like on both of those sites. What's the best way to get a good deal at either/both of them?

SP1229077 (20% off bra tops/dresses and pants), is combining with the spring12 tier and trendy.

The 20% code works on some of the 2 for items so they come out really cheap if you're buying enough to use the tier too.

Thanks, alvsy! Gonna try some bra tops.

Did you sign up through kurpee's link? I did and I haven't received it either.

Did you find out what happened to the "payment pending" orders on your DH's account? Have they shipped yet?

I did. Thanks for asking.

Apparently, I had transposed the first 4 numbers on his CC. I have no idea how I did that twice, when I have the number memorized.

We all know I'm all blond & am definitely not beyond making a mistake, but I had a hard time buying that one. Regardless, he got it resolved & they switched to processed. I don't know if they've shipped. They hadn't shipped yesterday & I can't log into his account today.

I don't know what's going on with that. I'm not having a problem logging into my account.

Actually I didn't. I got an email telling me that I need to activate my Express Next card since I've been a card holder for quite some time. Maybe they're being slow or something, but that was in Feb!

Any reviews on the Cross-back Tee Shirt? http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper I'll have to check to see if I have a low-back bra or I'd need to order one. Is this top worth it?

Glad to know your orders went through fine now.

All the talk about getting flagged made me felt nervous for you. And I hope you can log into DH's account soon, but you can still check the status of your orders through the order confirmation email links without having to log in.

Thanks for the tip. When I tried to use the link in an email, it gives me the same message.
