    Cheapskate - we got asked that question a lot as well. Older 2 grown, why have little ones again? But while we only initially were going to have the one (our 2yo), we're expecting in August with #4, so people are thinking we are gluttons for punishment. We're loving every minute of it though!

    I'm thinking a gap of maybe 2 years, then wait till the littlest is in school and then two more quite close together.

    Hmm. I'm having some issues with Kiddicare right now. We ordered our travel system off them at the baby Show, and they were supposed to deliver by Friday just gone. I called on Friday and was told the paperwork hadn;t even gone to the warehouse and they didn;t have the chassis in stock yet. I was told to call tomorrow to arrange delivery as the chassis was due in today.

    In the meantime, I went on their website to discover that they are now having a 5 per cent sale, but even with that discount it would have been cheaper online at the time of the baby show!

    IT is now £480 and we paid £530!!

    I'm not sure what to do. If I had paid for it I'd cancel the order, then reorder it (although would now worry about delivery) but my dad paid for it on his card so I'm not sure what to do.

    Any thoughts ladies?

    Sorry to repost this but does anyone have any ideas? Should I call and ask for £40 off to bring it down to the current internet price, or should I cancel and reorder but then have to try and explain it to my dad, who will then have to get the money to us some other way, or should I leave it as dad was happy to pay £530 and if I don't tell him will never know (and that way I get the pram this week hopefully)?

    AS we are both old (I'm 34 and OH is 42) we are planning to get on with number 2 as soon as this one is out, and see what nature gives us in terms of a gap! Probably stupid/brave thing to do but I'm concerned that I want three and time is not on our side in terms on eggs and sperm deteriorating. Isn;t that a depressing thought?!?!
