    Sorry Natalie, I thought I'd replied to you! Congratulations on getting him home at last. I remember you posting a few weeks after his birth and it was very much just 'one day at a time'. Hope everything continues to go well for him and he is discharged from consultant care at a year old!!!
  • WOOHOO just managed to sell the cross trainer so that's more space in the nursery and an extra £60 for the baby fund :D

    On a slightly off topic conversation... someone stole my name !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    There is a new Money maker with a capital M on the family board !!!

    I discovered a Skint_chick on here the other day! :mad: WHy can;t people just be original. once, when you Googled Skintchick only I came up, but someone on Motley Fool nicked it and now this other one on here. Grrr.

    We went to look at prams today and have decided we both really dislike the Pliko Pramette but love the Silver Cross Sleepover, so we're going to get one of those nearer the time. It felt so much more sturdy than the Pliko, which was a bit like a plastic toy, plus the Silver Cross enables you to have a parent-facing pushchair which is really important to me.

    So now I just need to find it as cheap as possible!

    tink - where did u sell ur cross trainer? could do with selling mine as neither me or OH use it!

    What a day! I think my bean loves football, went to watch Everton v Man City and OMG, I felt movement the whole time I was there. Wonder if it was the atmosphere. Was like loads of fluttering and gurgling - oh it was so amazing.

    Now watching Man Utd and I have players in my dream team who are scoring :j

    Cooking pasta and chicken for tea - yum.

    I need some opinions about the cotbed on offer in Argos.

    http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3772627/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CNursery%7C12109130/c_2/2%7Ccat_12109130%7CCots+and+other+furniture%7C12109157.htm


    I don't particularly want to do the safari theme and don't need the changing unit BUT the cotbed looks great and seems a good deal.

    Would u ...........
    A. Buy the lot and then eBay all the things u don't want?
    B. Not bother as u only want the cot and just wait to get a similar cot on it's own?

    Ta in advance

    Where does the time go? :think:

    Glam, I would not bother and just get the cotbed from elsewhere... But that's because I hate eBay...

    Jillie, my one busy day is to make up for the last 2 days where I've done nothing... Sadly, I slept ok the last 2 nights after not doing anything... Probably won't sleep tonight and have to sit on the worlds most uncomfortable chairs tomorrow at church....

    Glam, I havent been able to find a new cot bed cheaper than that, so it may be worth buying it then just ebaying what you dont need. I managed to find a cot in a charity shop for £7.99 and have bought a new mattress. Depends how MSE you want to be..... having just reread that, I realise that doesnt help at all lol sorry :rotfl:

    Hi Glam

    I didnt think the argos set looked too bad and its OK value when you weigh up the contents, got my changer from cdiscount for £30 and I was given our cot but a similar one is £100 so even if you dont use the safari stuff then its a nice pair for that money.

  • Glam - I sold it via Free Ads - they have an online site adtrader so the ads go online as well as in the paper. Not sure if you have one covering your area :confused:

    In terms of the argos deal I'd be tempted to get it and sell on the stuff you don't want, it seems like a really good deal. :money:
