Fouls?!!! What am I on about?? I think I meant could! Just proving my point about posting from my phone.

Gill - that's proper out of order of course she knew who is she trying to kid?! It should not have been her business until you made it so. I hope they aren't funny with you because of it. I must admit I thought I'd get made redundant when I told work but I was shocked when they were really supportive about it.

Maybe I should lurk more discreetly you sussed me out by my thanking!

Somnium, yes sainsbury's do their own eco nappy range which are really good, and as good if not better than the nature babies ones according to my SIL and friend! Last time I went to find them though they had none in stock! Pah! I use washables full time, but when we went on holiday I had to use 'sposies so used the nature babies ones and they were great!

Also, I love Tahlie! Beautiful name! I like unusual names as I have an unusual name myself. My DD is called Elfyn, but we thought if she wants a 'normal' name at school she can call herself Elly. If she had been a boy he was going to be Alva.

Other girl names on my list last time (and still on for this time too ) are Lilah, Mae (as a middle name), Wren and Star (though DH hates these last two! I live in hope!) We had lot's of others I'll have to dig my list out.

Can anyone tell me if there's any difference between these two:

Only difference i can see if the MC one comes with raincover Maybe Somn will know?

Somnium

Thanks fernliebee, I love Wren and Mea too Good choice. I have an unusual name too so think thats why I want something different for LO. I love Elfyn too can I ask how you chose it?

Oh and will check out eco nappies thanks xx

Gorgeous name Som

& I love Elfyn Fernlie, can I be cheeky and ask her middle name? I love names

Our list was so long to start with but has been whittled down by other people saying how much they hate names I adore Conrad for a boy but OH won't have it as his parents were so horrid about it, same for Tobin. Eurgh.

Gill - how rude of your manager to let on when she'd been told in confidence, does she know you know she told yet?

BeenieCat

I know nobody asked for my opinion but not keen on Elfyn - what if she's short? :eek: I just thought of it as the word! http://www.thefreedictionary.com/elfin

I can't see a difference Beenie

Whilst your around Som can I ask a Mothercare related Q? Feel free to tell me to bog off Is it likely that the Bugaboo Bee will be in the sale anytime soon, only I've not noticed it in any sales in the last 16 weeks of looking, and wondering if it's one of those things that just doesn't get marked down?

Somnium

Beenie - we haven't sold the Mirage (also known as Atlan)for a while now, and have no idea why that one is refered to as a plus, as it doesnt look any different. Sorry thats not really much help, the one at Argos looks good price tho IMO, youll pay about £20/£30 for a raincover depending where you buy if that helps.

Somnium

Oooh lots of PC q's hehe

gymfiend - Bugaboos only go on sale if the model changes or is dicontinued and as the Bee is not even two years old I can't see it happening anytime soon. Bugaboo are pretty insitant that everyone sells ther PCs at the same price too so unless you can find a % discount for a store I wouldn't set my heart on a promo any time soon.
