    OT but ... Becles, is that your daughter in your avatar?

    she looks so like my daughter it's uncanny :eek: I'll dig out some pics of her & post them so you can see

    I did consider just posting them unannounced, but I thought it might freak you out wondering who'd been taking pics of your girl without you knowing :o

    oh, we have a small letterbox and keep getting cards through to go and pick up big letters :eek:
    it's really annoying isn't it? mine was tiny too, so I got a new decent-sized one installed by my joiner, right after that I was offered a bigger/better flat, so now I'm moving to another house with a tiny letterbox :rolleyes:


    I shouldn't really be here, my kids are all grown-up
    :shhh:

    Caz, 3, anyone else with 3+ kids, do you have cars and if so, what do you drive? Are they cars that can fit 3 child seats etc? Are the only options MPVs if you want to fit the whole lot in? :confused:

    we have 3 cars pmsl! family car is a ford galaxy and we love it! it has 7 seats which can all be taken out and are all individual seats with seatbelts. 2 of the seats have integrated carseats which are a godsend as they can be folded up and used as normal seats! they also tilt! it took us a long time to decide on a car and we were put off the zafira due to the crash tests:eek: oh and TV/DVD are a must have!
    OH said that you can fit 3 carseats into a volvo T5 estate no problems

    carseats are like http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ford-Galaxy-integrated-child-baby-seat-booster-TDi-Ghia_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem35a2b01c70QQitemZ230362717296QQptZUKQ5fCarsPartsQ5fVehiclesQ5fCarPartsQ5fSMQQsalenotsupported

    If you're looking at a Company car scheme then you need to consider the tax cost. We went for a Honda CRV as it's low on Co2 emissions and costs us no more in tax than the company Astra we had before. It's got a very large back seat and a huge boot.
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p

    We got a hyundi trajet (they are crap btw) which is not that good on tax, but ok fuel wise if you sippy sippy (keep it at 2000 revs, so 60 on the motorway), all seats can come out, front seats swivel round, good for when we need a van for the shops. But then it all balances out becase my megane estate is dirt cheap to run. £30 gets me almost 600 miles!!! And cheapest tax brand too. I miss my car, can't wait to drive again, she's been missing me too. I can hear her at night.
