    aagh just wrote a longish post and computer went all funny and its vanished....

    making some leek and potato soup at moment. not sure if it will turn out ok as kinda made up the recipe. water, leeks,potatoes and a veg stock cube should be ok?? porb put too much water in though lol!! but the potatos may absorb some of the water. we'll see later om

    LOL Okay ;) Thankyou.

    Packaging reminds me.. Glam, I don't order everything from Firebox, honest! Just fairies think they make good repacking boxes! :o

    SM, did you sign up for the Firebox newsletter and have you got their xmas catalogue yet? I got two in the post this morning (one for me, one for OH cos I used his email address too) and they have voucher codes on the back. Could be worth between £2 and £10 off an order :)

    Can ask you all a questions? Well, those that have Honda Jazz...
    Our dodson is coming to visit us in a couple of months (with his parents, of course!) and we need to get a group 1 car seat. He will be 18 months then. They are coming from abroad, so we said we will get a car seat. anyway, we are trying for a baby - so it will be for us in the hopefully near future.

    We went to toys 'r us today and asked them what car seats would fit. I like Maxi Cosi Axiss, but when they tried it in our car - Honda Jazz (2002-2003), the girl said it would not fit. She then checked their system and said Tobi would fit, but offered to try Priori, as they don't have it on the system yet. She tried that one in he car, and said it doesn't fit either - it is the way seatbelt buckle sits. She did not try Tobi, so I am not sure how it is supposed to be.

    so, do any of you have Honda Jazz? If so, what car seat do you have? I am feeling rather disappointed, that we have a choice of... 1!

    ginvzt, I can't help with the car, but just wondered if you were intending to BUY a car seat? I have these two websites bookmarked for hiring baby/toddler equipment :)

    http://www.babycomes2.co.uk/index.html and http://www.minilodgers.co.uk/equipment/index.aspx

    Not used either of them, but it's a just in case we decided to hire a pushchair for our hols rather than take the big pram :)

    ETA: I think MDW recently got a Honda Jazz and she has a 2yo LO. Will ask her for you if she's on later :)

    Thanks for the website - I'll have a look. but yes, I was intending to buy the car seat. We have more friends with the little ones, so it might be useful, and I hope we don't have to wait for too long for the little one either...
