ENTERTAIN THE KIDS THIS SUMMER
The long summer holidays have already started in Scotland and are almost upon those of you elsewhere and I bet you’re all dreading them lol. One thing we have found is a great help during times when the weather isn’t great is a craft box – start saving those empty loo rolls and egg boxes. We have set up an account with Yellow Moon for you to buy excellently priced craft supplies and toys, we have catalogues so if you would like one for you, your family and friends to browse just email wiccababe with your address and we’ll get one off to you. YELLOW MOON brings together the best value arts and crafts, educational products and craft ideas under the sun!
EVERY time you buy from YELLOW MOON (either online or from the catalogue) Extra Special Parents receive up to 25% cash-back (excl. VAT and p&p). So, the MORE you buy the MORE they receive!
SHOPPING on-line with YELLOW MOON is a rewarding experience. Not only is Extra Special Parents rewarded with a cash-back, but you’re rewarded too with a 5% discount every time you order £45 or more (excl. p&p) before 31st August 2006! Just remember to quote our source code SEX10033
We also have an affiliate agreement with AMAZON so that any purchases you make through the link we have provided will result in Extra Special Parents receiving a small commission. Amazon is a great value online retailer of Music, Books, DVDs, PC & Video games, Electronics & Photo, Home & Garden and Toys & Games. So save money on their great deals and help ESP at the same time.
Our other affiliate scheme is with eBay, every time you use the link and bid or buy it now, we receive a small commission, and if you don’t have an eBay account and sign up via the link we also receive a small commission.
EBay is the world’s most popular auction site, where you can pick up some terrific bargains for yourselves and your family and also sell all that stuff you no longer need.
TELL YOUR STORY
Some of you know the reasons why we started the Extra Special Parents website; how isolated we felt and how difficult we found it trying to find information and support for Willow’s congenital condition. We have been in touch with a press agency to tell our story to raise awareness not only of Willow’s condition but to promote ESP to more parents and carers who have had the same difficulties.
The agency has very kindly offered to hear stories from any of our members, if you wish to tell your story. If your story is printed in any of the newspapers or magazines, the agency will secure a payment to you for your trouble, usually in the region of £200.
Extra Special Parents is a closed forum, and non-members DO NOT have access to any posts you make, and we do not pass any of your details to anyone without your express permission.
If you would be interested in telling your story please email wiccababe and I can give you more details.
ESP 2 - THE SISTER SITE
The ESP forum has sprouted arms and legs over the last 6 months and so Graham has set up a sister site ESP2. At the moment it’s for photos of all our extra special mummies, daddy’s and other family members as well as a Hobby Corner. If you haven’t already joined ESP2, just click here and register using the same username as you use on ESP. And watch out in the coming months for more additions to the sister site.
COMPETITIONS
A huge congratulations to Emma (Emne) for getting the 10,000th post – and for the great timing of getting it on our 6 month anniversary of ESP going live.
And commiserations to all our other members who nearly made it.
The ESP Trivia Challenge is proving very popular with some of you, and there’s plenty of time to get great scores racked up for July, with a big box of choccies up for grabs for the highest scorer.
A new Caption Competition will start on Sunday so get those clever and funny captions in.
CELEBRATIONS
