What would we do without Charlotte to cheer us all up? :rotfl:



Probably not an option financially, but could you get one of those buggies where you clip the car seat onto a frame? Then you could take the car seat with you?

DKA - I'm sure the boys would love to be at the seaside Have you looked at what the schools are like and that kind of thing?

it's a bit difficult because the council coveres such a large area so dont know what part I'd be in.

I had a quinny frame for his small seat, but he is far too long for it now. I'm much happier having him in the sling instead of a pushchair too.

FEely, if we get a taxi from town I tend to just wheel the whole pushchair into the back of it and leave Caitlyn strapped in and the break on.. Not ideal but better than being loose, and in the same position as if we were on the bus...

Tia... I'm sorry...

That's a shame AFK. I've lost track a little bit - are you still at the refuge now? Any developments about the break in? I wil have to go back via your profile and catch up you your posts I've missed.

I forgot to update with the major news story of the evening. Izzy pood in the bath. :eek: I was sat on the floor next to the bath at eye level with her and so didn't notice for a few mins too Poor baby! I expect that is one of those things that happens to everyone at some point, but yuck!

He should still be able to use them , give them a ring and explain you lost the card, your details will still be on the comp, if he has id on him I cant see why they wouldnt come out.

Ok, I need your help. Where can I meet Mums? I'd especially like to meet other babywearing/breastfeeding Mummies.

Also, do you think it is okay if I take LO in a taxi without a carseat? I can't see any other way of getting about, and actually meeting people.

Great news Feelie that you want to meet other Mums! I would imagine taking sling or buggy in a Black cab would be fine

In a licensed taxi or licensed hire car, if a child restraint is not available then the child may travel unrestrained in the rear. This is the only exception for children under 3, and has been introduced for practical rather than safety reasons. You should always think about ways to make sure that a child seat is available.

Taken from here

Have you thought about Surestart? That is where I am going - I have probably made about 8 friends in new mums through Tiny Stars alone.

Check this out http://www3.hants.gov.uk/childrens-services/childrenandyoungpeople/childrens-centres/hampshire-centres.htm

I think these would be your local ones IIRC
