    Well I'm back, with a new buggy.
    Ended up going wit the MOTHERCARE NIXI one, I wanted one the same style as the SX (as in pramette) and as it was £200 with the carseat I thought I might aswell just go with that one, cant be dealin with traipsing round everywhere looking at carseats and buggies.
    Got the woman in MC to test test the seat and it fitted thank god.
    So got £165 refund, I had in actual fact made all the payments on my card, dunno why I thought I'd paid some i cash.
    Luckily I paid the last payment on my new card otheriwse they would of given me the £165 on a gift card :eek:

    Tara you sound so much more sensible than the parents I know! 2 out of their 3 other kids are obviously on the spectrum and considered weird by most yet they seem oblivious to it - in my opinion both parents are on the spectrum too tho.

    Sounds like he is pretty well adjusted tho, you have done a good job so far - I'm sure you'll work it out :) It must be so hard for them to try and learn what we just instinctively know about feelings and reading faces

    Has anyone experienced that chloro-something - the darkening of the skin on your face thing that they say is something that *might* happen in pregnancy? I was just thinking about the line some ladies get down their belly and remembered the face thing.. Don't think I've heard it mentioned here before.

    I have neither, btw.. just curious :)

    I'm going back a bit - but you lot talk too much!

    I think I did - i didn't have the belly line with any of my three, but with this last one, towards the end, I got strange pigmentation on my face - like tanned blotches! It looked like i'd had an accident with a bottle of fake tan! 4 weeks on - its still visible on my forehead!

    AM - Glad you got something sorted out:)

    Tara - I hope you mange to have a nice chat with him, he sounds like he is usually very sensible. Has he started mixing with a different crowd at school that may have encouraged him to lie like this. I am dreading my boys becoming teenagers, and I don't have autism to deal with too...ds2 is dyslexic and dyspraxic, but hopefully we will have done everything possible to help him through school so he doesn't become frustrated and rebel!!!

    On a different note.....Notice my avvy???

    This is actually a tattoo I am thinking of getting, I really want a red rose tattoo with the names of all my children in it somehow. But I only want it small. I am wondering if I had the three roses done (with their names written along each stem) would I be able to add a fourth at a later date without it looking strange. The other option is one bigger rose with all the names incorporated into it somehow, but making sure it looks ok with the three names, and if I then want to add a fourth it will stilllook ok!

    I am not, big into tattoos, but I have wanted one for years with the boys names in, I thought the little rose for each child would be nice:)

    Dh actually hates tattoos on woman, but this will be a little discreet one, somewhere like back of shoulder or top of bum. I was initially (a few years back) thinking of one of those ones that goes right across the bottom of your back. Actually I could get this one done in the middle of my back at the bottom, and get four little roses done, but only put the names on three so the bottom rose would be left empty if I don't have another baby, at least it would look symmetrical:)

    Wow what a rambling post

  • MM - do they definitely do wall stickers? I have checked a few places and can't see anything :confused:

    I've got my name, OH name, DS and DD1 in Hebrew, in a straight line down my spine, starting just below my collar - only small (and i got mine before Victoria Beckham copied me:mad: ). Now need to get the new one added to the end- mum said if I keep having kids, it'll stretch down to my bum crack!!
