I'm really jealous of you getting that chair, looks great!

It was one of a pair, its such a shame the other chair went to the tip !! they were just about to put this one in the van too,

misfire

The Chair is FAB I really love it what an absolute bargain - I am always amazed what fab things people dump. Sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time.

I got the best bargain EVER!!! We bought new (seconds of the manufacture web site £25 carry cot instead of retail £109) we really wish we had some way of rocking baby in it (she doesn't sleep at night at all!) as we didn't want to buy a swinging crib..... from ebay we got:-

Matching pram (even the colourways are the same!), spare inner tyres, cosy toes, car seat (not been in an accident A1 condition but we have our own will keep it for when we pass it on when we have finished with the system) matching changing bag, parasol, rain cover - the works!!! for ..........£26 could not believe the condition it was in when I picked it up absolutely fab condition. I wanted a 3 in 1 pram with carry cot but could not afford one - now have a beautiful one for a whole £26 (as my mum paid for the carry cot) so chuffed!

My fav chazza shop gave me first dibs on a big bag of baby clothes (he put out on the rail the really fancy party wear and a box of cheap bits but he had this big bag with no room for it to go out yet!!) I also got 37 baby items new born - 6/9 months all brands I couldn't afford new - Next, mothercare, Disney stor, Baby Gap, M&S, Bhs, Mini mode - and some brands I hadn't heard of Morris Mouse, Boboli... for £20 this included coats, jackets, jumpers, skirts, trousers - everything! Got a few tiny baby bits that is to go in the bag for our special care unit along with the prem baby stuff my little one had (we lost a prem baby in 09 and so I bought lots of prem clothes as sadly there was a chance this one would come early too but luckily she came full term). I have already washed them in napisan (anti bacterial - keeps second hand hating hubby happy!) and can't wait till i can start putting little one in them!

Still can't get over the Pram - the seller was hoping it would go for more (am surprise it didnt but obv pleased it didn't!) but she was pleased its gone to a good home. Still can't help looking at it and smiling - I think its the best bargain I have ever got! so chuffed!
