Another vote for Dysons here (we got this one with a £50 Argos voucher thrown in a few months back - offer isn't on anymore but have seen it quite a few times to might reappear next year)

Dyson?? Does anyone have one and are they worth the price tag??

yes , you can pick up the older models quite cheaply and IMO hey're just as good just a bit heavier to lug around

Tara, I have a Citroen C4 it's ok but I still wish I had my lovely little purple Micra

Oh good. I hated the distressed kind of crying when they teethed. Did you use any kind of teething gel?

Thanks. She's cooking for the first time tonight. I'm sure it will be nice.

used dentinox which seemed to work. gave him calpol twice to help him settle at bedtime. and a ice cold flannel that Krystal recommended (can you see that i was a bit desperate). it was reallly the first time that nothing we did would settle him. i felt awful....
he usually just wakes and smiles away to himself but i knew he was feeling sore cos he would wake and a few secs later was crying.... poor little mite!!

ooh what is she cooking? is for all of you? (sorry, dont know if your girls see their mums at w/ends? too nosy??)

I want a light one Sami...will def get a new model if they are lighter!!

I am sick of heaving my hoover round, it's like doing a workout (maybe not a bad thing;)) but the hose is really long to so the silly thing won't follow properly around the house.....it is driving me mad now!!!

lol!! i hope it is scary, its been a long time since i watched a proper scary film rather than one that is just gross rather than scary!!

and its an excuse to cuddle DH on the sofa!! lol!!

I seen a wee clip on BBC breakfast and that was scary enough for me! :eek: Ghosty things freak me out but gross stuff doesn't bother me.
I love the Final Destination films for gory deaths!!!

I did look at a Rav4 but the running costs aren't good, co2 was high.

Going into town tonight with OH for birthday drinks with someone. My mum has offered to watch Keira, and she is a bit better. So we are going into town and I'm going to look for something to wear though I have something to wear if I don't. I hate my legs but leggings will have to be what I wear, Im sure muscly calves are all the rage in some country.....

Then after town I'll go up to my mums with Keira, until about half 8 then Ill head into town from there!

When we are adults we understand the pains and what to do to try and ease them, but babies are in our hands, so they are distressed and don't know if you are helping them or not and that's what I struggled with as I couldn't reassure them verbally. It's good he's better now.

It's going to be some kind of Beef casserole, so that will be interesting. Yes, for all of us. Girls mothers walked out and wanted nothing to do with them, and girls are now happy to never hear from them again. Especially now Lucy is flavour of the month - totally unlike their mothers, so maybe i've done alright this time.

Don't worry about being nosy, don't ask don't get and all that. When I first came online, I gave no info, but I give a little bit more every now and again as I feel more comfortable.

Avoid the DC-27 then as it's a bit chunky.

Yeah, we had an upright before that but it was useless, so bought a Henry...about 10yrs ago, he is still going strong and has excellent suction but I am sick of his behaviour:p

You lot have convinced me I am definitely getting a Dyson:T
But not a DC-27...apparantly;)
