.. Elle - I should point out that as u don't have air con I assume you don't have the luxury of automatic and/or cruise control like me so I'd say driving is getting more and more like a bad idea :undecided does ur mum not drive then?

Steady on - OH is still impressed I have heated front windscreen and mirrors!

Mum does drive, but she's not hugely confident about unknown roads/routes and has had panic attacks whilst/about driving so I don't want to stress her out by her contemplating doing any of the driving

ETA: Yes, staying overnight on the Friday night (booked ages ago) but not bought the tickets yet - don't know whether to go for Friday or Saturday.. any recommendations?

I dry all the childrens clothes on a traditional type airer and our clothes go on a tripod thingy with arms. I do love my tumbley though but generally use that for bedding and towels when the weather is bad.

I've never actually used it for real clothes as I'm worried they will come out looking like Barbie and Ken's!

I wash our clothes and OH towels (likes them rough) here and dry them on airers, and then when we go to my parents' for tea I take the bedding and my towels (like them soft!) and wash them there and use their tumble dryer then bring them home again

oooh I don't have heated mirrors I'm soo jealous of my mum coz she has the wing mirrors that fold in when you press a button,, they go zzzoooouuuup

I had a bad hip toward the end last time that made changing gear painful so I'm soo glad I have an automatic now

I think it actually might be a standard Ford thing these days.. OH was saying something about it the other week. My car is only the "LX" version which I think is the basic or second basic one you could get at the time, 2003 - didn't buy it new so never looked at the different model options really. It was a pretty blue colour and had a CD player.. what more did I need?

ETA: Hmm.. in hindsight, the answer to "what more did I need?" is Isofix points, longer seatbelts and two more doors! :cool:

I'm not much help, elle, as we are going on the Sunday, the same as last year. Its the last day of the show and lots of things were reduced .

Hubby bought me cinnamon waffle icecream last week... Half price in Tesco and yes it was yum!!! Was going to tell you all about it but it was Friday night

Funny you should mention airers Tine, I just got hubby to rescue mine from the back of the built in cupboard, I shall be clearing space for it in the dining room this week so I can leave it in there out of the way to dry...

Is Sunday the best day to go to the baby show then SB? Are there still loads of freebies? I soooooo desperately want to go... Just depends on baby making it's entrance in a timely fashion.. Which probably won't happen...

Oh, and our boys names are down to 2 choices... Gabriel or Dexter anyone?

Krystal if the babies are on time/slightly early we could go together! (So long as there are no complications obviously lol) I SO wanna go but with the dates and all... grrrr

I still got all the freebies when I went to Manc one on the sunday In fact Huggies and fairy were giving away double to get rid of them all :T
I can confirm there was some amaaazin' bargains to be had on ex-display prams too

I LOVE Dexter i think its sooo cute/yummy/fab only neg I have is Charlotte Church :undecided although I very much doubt she'll still be around in 5 or 10yrs

Yes, there were still lots of fab freebies (and a free holding service so you can go around and collect a second time and pick up the old stash on your way out ). I've been told before that vendors reduce prices on the last day but I guess that could be a load of waffle and I'll never know!

PS: think I'm swaying towards Dexter!
