Yay!! My Active Kids order has arrived!

There's only me & DS1 (age 18) in at the moment, so we very excitedly sorted through it ourselves

In my order I had a few balls - football, basketball, playground balls etc, but they've all arrived uninflated so I've got to hunt round for the pump before the others get in from school

Well worth doing & I can't wait till next year.

And I've still got my trees to look forward to next month

Hi Miffy

sorry to bother you again but what did you put yourself under, school, guide, scout or did you phone up and register.

**Mouse** · 02-10-2009, 03:28 PM

I emailed them to register.

I sent an email saying I was a childminder & wanted to register. They replied saying the scheme wasn't really aimed at childminders as they didn't think we could get enough vouchers to make it worthwhile.

I sent another email saying that I felt that I could get enough vouchers & that, as a childminder, any free equipment is a bonus. They replied saying to give my name, address, number of children on role (I exaggerated a bit there!) and they would register me.

I sent all the info & that was that. It's a bit of a pain, but worth it in the end.
