    If you have isofix then i would say use it. Isofix is meant to make the seats alot safer and easier to fit with less room for error in the fitting of them. unfortunately i can't afford a new car so am having to make the best of what i have. I would say go to halfords or mothercare and speak to them about it they will be able to tell you the techy stuff to do with it all :-)

    I bought mine from a little local store im in dudley west mids not sure where you are. Most local small shops will carry the hauck brand ive never seen them in mothercare though :-)

    We really needed a new car, the punto is eating the petrol lol.

    We decided to get a car on finance with the money we are saving with quitting smoking :)

    Its nice to see something being bought with the money we would have just smoked away lol

    Thank you very much for all your help.

    I am in Northumberland.

    kindofagilr, you might want to first think about how to want to raise your baby. I'm thinking of going with attachment parenting which means I don't need most of the stuff that other people buy. Baby will sleep in bed with us for as long as necessary (although we might get a beside the bed cot as our bed is only a double, this should last until Noogle is 2 years old) - this also means we are not bothering with a nursery for the at least the first year. I'm also going to carry baby in a sling (if possible!) and trying to find a cheap pram just in case that doesn't work out. Obvioulsy still need a car seat. Hopefully will be breastfeeding as well so not buying any of the bottles and stuff so I wont be tempted! Basically trying to minimise the gadgets and stuff we need to buy so Noogle is raised naturally. This is my first though so it may not work out that way!

    I have to say I don't miss the 30 degree heat in my office - that really didn't help with the MS! However the thought of another washout summer isn't really much fun either! At least I know i do have my hol to look forward to so I am grateful for that. If everyone doesn't mind sending sunny vibes for September 12th for my wedding day though I'd be very grateful!!

    Well I've just looked at the weather forecast for the next 14 days and am now thoroughly depressed!! Roll on my honeymoon in Egypt in September!!

    31 degrees here today. Too hot to sleep, too hot to stay awake, too hot to wear clothing, too pregnant to be comfortable braless.
