    Ah right thanks, so it is possible to just strap it to the car with the belt or do we need a base still even to do that?

    Does anyone know as well if we bought an Iso Fix base and a Iso Fix 0+ car seat, when we change carseats to a bigger one will it still fit in our original Iso Fix Base??

    Its sooooo confusing lol

    We were watching the youtube videos on kiddicare and they were showing the car seat being strapped in without a base so as far as I'm aware it is possible.

    I wouldn't like to comment on the bigger car seat fitting in the same base, but my understanding is that the bigger car seat won't be moved if you only have one car so it won't matter if it is just strapped in all the time ie you don;t need the base to make it easy.

    Hopefully someone who's not a total novice will be along soon to advise you :)

    LOL thanks Gill :) I was trying to remember what happened to the car seat on the video fo the pram I liked the best and I think you are right, I will go watch the video again

    Just I dont want to pay for a Iso Fix seat and base when baby is going to outgrow it pretty quick I mean the one after 9kgs is fine cos you can get a seat that they use all the way to 12 after that

  • Morning ladies

    Been up since half 5 the kids dont seem to have got the hang of the clocks going back an hour :rolleyes::rotfl:

    Ended up falling asleep last night sat upright in bed with the lappy on my lap :o I was so tired but everytime i laid down i felt sick :(

    jha the polyhydramniosis isnt going to go or ease off unfourtunatley just going to be a case of grim and bare it :(

    good luck nancmat!!! :j

    congrats to jenny too!! :T

    Some wardrobes went on freecycle this morning was hoing and praying that id get them but i didnt :( on the upside though the bloke emailed me back saying that he does have a baby changing table that i can have if i want it though :j He is delivering it this afternoon :T

    Doesnt give me anywhere to put all our clothes but its still a resuly none of the less :D

    The girls have decided they want their bedroom decorated in Bratz after i managed to get them a Bratz canvas wardrobe out of the charity shop yesterday for £18 :T Went to look online and found that all the Bratz stuff has been removed from sale after someone took the company to court :eek:

    There is loads on ebay though :T found one thats a joblot says collection only from Milton Keynes though did email them and asked how much postage would be and they quoted me £15 :eek: which seems rather a lot but my mates OH lives in MK so depending on where abouts the stuff is i will try and get him to pick it up for me :o:rotfl:

    Got a migraine i cant shift and im exhausted still so much to do :( did chuck dinner in the slow cooker first thing this morning thoough so thats one less thing to worry about :rotfl:

    I will be happier when i dont have to share my sofa with boxes though :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Morning :)

    Congrats Jenny!!
    And easy labour vibes for nanc! Ooooh its all soo exciting hehe.

    Had a dream last night that i had a boy and i was saying to OH "see good job i didn't sell them boys clothes, i knew he would be a boy" and was wondering what to do with the girls stuff we bought. But he was really cute :D lol.

    Kindof - I par-boil them for 5-10mins (sometimes i forget and they are on longer and go mashy lol) then drain out water and put in a roasting tray that has already been pre heated with oil, and cook for 30-45 minutes :)

    Im really bored, i dont finish work until 8:30pm :(

    Did everyone put there clocks back? :) x

    Thanks gill & kindof, decisions decisions. I don't think i'll do anything rash cos my ebay mess up cost me about £9 in the guys paypal fees and mine :o so not MSE, but at least i'll be getting a new console now instead of 2nd hand.

    Not keen on Mario Strikers we got it from Lovefilm for a bit and i thought it pap so may go with the gamestation one and buy Mario Kart separately.

    Still bitter and angry that i need to replace the Wii at all cos ex should have left it for my Ds, he isn't even using it it's at his gran's and he's not staying there. Grrr.

    another good tip is the shake your par boiled potatoes in a collinder/sieve thing so that the edges go jagged and they go super crispy :)

    That looks a good price kindof. I like the look of the graco ones coz they just look so simple in the videos to put together and fold up!
