    I'm searching for a pushchair for our holidays, but I haven't found anything I like yet so I think we'll take the big pram - nothing looks snug enough compared to the pram! :o

    I did just see a SX Halo on eBay, "brand new in box, duplicate gift" - they cost £250.. Who buys a £250 pushchair without checking first if it was actually wanted/needed?! :eek:

    Right you lot while you are in pushchair mode I'm gonna need you help with pushchair/ pram etc soon as I have no idea and you are soo much better at this stuff...

    1.Firstly I'm not that bothered about name etc more just practicality.
    2. Didnt really want to get a 'double' pushchair but will Henry be too young to walk everywhere? or spend too much money
    3.We had a Cossato pushchair with car seat off my sister when Henry was born, which was about 4 yrs old then. The car seat is no longer safe to use but the pushchair bit is ok. So do I just buy car seat which wont fit old frame or shall I get whole new system? I have seem some Babybliss ones on Ebay some of which are really cheap which looks ok

    Luckily for us boot space is not a problem

  • Krystal - forgot to say, I REALLY hope you enjoy tonight. I am VERY jealous! Enjoy your mummy and daddy time (and put a drink in your bag cos it is very expensive!!)



    The police called me at 3.20am this morning to tell me that there had been a break-in at work! I explained that I wasn't the registered keyholder anymore and that I lived 40 miles away and they said they didn't keep the names of registered keyholders anymore and they got my number from the last time there was a break-in :rolleyes:
    Typical - Benjamin has been sleeping through til at least 6.15am for 4 or 5 nights now and I still get woken up!!

    Cue Benjamin waking me 5 times tonight :rolleyes:

    I haven't taken the CTF that seriously really as both of mine have their own 'real' savings account for their 'oodles' of cash which, if necessary, can be accessed before 18.

    HUG and good luck for your phonecall Weezl - try to have all aspects thought through but don't overanalyse/overplan the conversation or you will end up in tears like I did the other day :o

    Asking the weezl not to overanalyse may be like asking the pope to convert to Islam MFD :rotfl:

    But I hear ya, and I shall do my best!

    That's a shame. As a tax payer you've contributed to it, so I think you can feel free to claim it for your children :)

    MFD how annoying, you would think that by now they would have updated their keyholder list! at least you still work for them mind, a good year after i left phones4u i got a call from the manager asking if i could go and sort out the alarm in the middle of the night cos i lived more or less opposite and he was too drunk to drive there!! he said the alarm code was still the same and to ask the shopping centre staff to let me in if i didnt have a key any more :rotfl:

    i declined, not very politely i have to say!!
