Hi guys

Sorry I am not around so much but working full time with toddler and poorly hubby (gall stones/jaundice - don't ask it's too stressful!) makes for no internet time.

I do have a 'what woudl you do' question though. I have one little boy who is 15 months and in his cot. I intend to buy him a new bed in May and introduce him to toddler bed in June. He is already trying to climb out of cot so it will be safer. I am waiting till June because we are going to Italy in May and have hired a cot and don't want to confuse him.

Anyway my new baby is due on the 20th August so he will be going in the cot. I believe that it's new baby new matress but my OH doesn't want to buy a new mattress for new baby as he thinks that the rule is just if you have stored the mattress in fusty loft etc and it won't count for us as it will have been in constant use and has never been used without a protector on it so isn't covered in sick/wee or anything.

What would you do? I would rather buy one as I think they tell you that for a reason. It's not the money as we can afford to buy one he just thinks it's silly.

I can;t watch it cos I'm watching the documentary about Henry VIII and we can;t record it cos OH is also recording heroes and we can;t record two and watch a third.

You can watch it on catchup sometime tomorrow if you wanted skinty

I'm not actually watching it.. I've left it on cos OH wanted to see it but he's not come through yet! :rolleyes:

What's different about Claudia Winkleman? She just looks different.. like she's had something done to her face

Hi Shelvis.

I wouldn't buy a new one, but thats just my opinion.

If theres nothing wrong with it then why buy new? Plus its your other child thats been lay on it and not a stranger.

I'm sure others will say different to me.

I think theres soooo much scare mongering these days . Its 10 years since i had my last one and I cant believe the change..cant eat this that and no hot baths oh and dont make too many bottles up at any one time ..at the end of the day its up to you and only you.

Shelvis, I bought a new one for DS2 as the mattress had 'sunk' after DS1 used it. There a big DS1 shaped dip where he had slept. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't have bothered tbh.

Hello,

late on tonight: we had our internet disconnected for most of last evening and today, which was really annoying when I wanted to see how AM was getting on! So many congratulations *albeit a bit belated) to AM and newmum, and welcome to fidget

I actually braved the town today, to find out that the expected crowds weren't bad at all. It was lovely and sunny, but the mist has rolled in again, so I'm not sure what it will be like tomorrow. I had a look around primark, and did see some nice strappy tops and longer vests which would look good under a cardi or shirt, so might go back for some of them at some point this week. The nice thing about the strappy tops is that they are also only 98p each so very appealing. I admit it was fun walking past all the full length mirrors: I'm not used to seeing an obvious baby bump (just usually me overweight bump) and it made me take a double-take a couple of times!

Take care all

Shelvis, I put Aimee's cotbed up just before christmas... Washed the cover off the mattress but won't be replacing it... Like your hubby says, it's been in constant use... Had a protective cover on... and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it... The crib my aunt is giving to us has been in her loft for about 4 years so we'll be getting a new mattress for that...
