I'm going to be sitting in front of my laptop for the next 20 mins, got my eye on a bugaboo bee on ebay currently on at £113. Hope all the other bidders aren't awake yet to up their bids!

Poo, £137 now, I keep getting outbid. My max was supposed to be £120.

Cheapskate

Morning all

Harley, that's spooky! I was given that outfit for toddler, but he never wore it (wrong time of year) so it's ready for this new one!

Toddler full of cold, went to bed dosed with Calpol, but spent half the night in our bed, moaning cos his ears hurt, blocked nose, eyes gummed up. Finally went to sleep about 3, DH snored from 7, so think I've had about 2 1/2 hrs sleep! :eek: Done nowt yet today, need to wash toddler's car seat cover, hoping new car comes this week. Got to change all beds, when teenage DS finally gets up, blitz dining room & wash last load of tiny clothes I found lurking in toddler's wardrobe - nice & warm & sunny today, so might even pick rosehips to make jelly as well!!
Looked on list yesterday, think I'm now up to #12 - less than 4 weeks on paper now! Toddler was 2 weeks early, but others bang on time, so hoping this one's on time cos I've loads of things still to do.
Off to do car seat & put out washing, back in a bit. Labour/sticky vibes, hugs & kisses to you all on this gorgeous Sunday!

when i bid on ebay , i always leave my bids till the last 20 secs then bid, that way people dont have much chance of out biddinng you , .
some peolpe dont realise soemtimes you can spend an extra £20 and get it brand new with guarantes , etc,
EA . your welcome good luck on the crib, like i said save your bidding till last 20 secs, have a second window open with your highest bid already in it (dont forget you wont have chance to bid again so make sure its your hihest your prepared to pay ) and one with the item and you can see the timer counting down , just dont click confirm your bid till last 20 secs, then like i said theres less chance of being out bidded:P well thats my littl tip : HTH.

Evansangel

Oh cool, i'll be doing that at about 7pm tonight on the crib, hopefully it wont attract many worldwide bids as its collection only in my area

Morning!! Oops well afternoon, just!!

Evansangel - Hope you manage to win that crib!!

Well the dog we had staying was collected about 10.45 so not toooooo early We walked him and our dogs aswell when he was collected so least thats one job done.

Felt rough when I got back though as I hadnt had time for brek or even a cuppa so think I was just hungry and dehydrated. Had toast and jam and a cuppa now though and feel much better. Its funny cos even though I obviously dont drink when we go out, I still feel like I have a kinda hangover the next day, great!!

We were gonna go shopping today but dont think thats gonna be happening now as DH was up until 6am watching the boxing!!

jenny - you might try Gumtree for a pram, especially if you have a car to get around south London. That's we got our travel system for £85! You just have to check about once a day to see if there's any good bargains going close by. Thanks for the info about the NCT sale...guess I won't rely on it for my 'big' things like Moses basket, etc.

BUT, my own eBay bargain to report is TT CTN breast pump AND micro steriliser on local eBay for £2!! I feel terrible that they went for so little, so might send DH to pick them up so I don't have to feel embarrassed at practically stealing them, lol...

Really horrible night's sleep - combo of hip pain & the damn cat. First thing this morning, I insisted we go to Mothercare for some sort of pillow(s) as I cannot do this another night. Was practically in tears as I barely slept and just could not get comfortable all night. Heading out later and PURE coincidence, I assure you, that we're going to Croydon where there just HAPPENS to be a Shakeaway
