    I've gone with Aviva Weezl, it was really easy to do too... They have a live chat thing so you can connect to an advisor for any questions without having to ring them up :D

    Reminds me... Best go and cancel the halifax direct debit...

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    I'd strongly advise the summer cover then, I think it comes in either turquoise or white, I went for turquoise for stain hiding reasons ;) the black bit does get really hot in the summer and Chris would cry sometimes so I had been trying to place towels strategically for ages before I just bought the cover.
    I got mine here http://www.discountbabyequip.co.uk/maxi-cosi-tobi-summer-cover.ir?cName=carseat-accessories-group-123-accessories
    it was the only plac that had it in stock, I had no problems after being worried about ordering from somewhere I'd not heard of :)
    When we had black car seats I just used to cover them with a white blanket when we got out of the car. We had the blanket there anyway for when it was cold.

    Please tell me it's normal to be sad when they grow out of something you really like?! :o
    I hope so. I'm hoping I get some more girls so they can wear the stuff I really liked too. (But of course I do want some boys too.)

    I'm off to my mum's but do we all like this dress for a wedding party? http://www.babeswithbabies.com/product_details.asp?product=Colette+-+TulipWood&product_id=2081
    It looks very nice. I don't think I would pay that much myself but I'm a bit of a skinflint.
    I took Caitlyn to the clinic yesterday... There are no health visitors there now, just nursery nurses... She told me that if I didn't wean Caitlyn next week when she's exactly 6 months then she'll be a fussy eater... I'd like to know when she did her degree in child nutrition and psychology!
    I didn't start weaning Alice until 7 months and apart from when OH says something is too spicy and food which has gone wrong which nobody likes I think the only thing she ever refuses to eat is cake.

    not too bad, just v stiff arm, but I think that's cos my arm was locked out in front of me with holding the buggy for the 2.5 mile walk home! (must change surgery.... but I REALLY like my Midwife :o)
    Why not ask her which other surgeries she does? She may do another one which is nearer.

    My mum just rang and asked if Jack was on solids yet! :rotfl:
