awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! *heart melts*

classic or linear?

why I hated the 3d;
It's not very easy to push/steer
it's a bastarge to fold - supposedly you can fold it in newborn mode and with hood still attached - lies, lies I tell thee!
all the zip pulls kept falling off
the 'newborn' bit is too small (Chris out grew it between 3/4 mths and he was a small baby)
the basket is pretty small and has an opening about the size of a letter box
I got the matching carseat (they have since changed this so not sure if still the case) Chris out grew it at about 5mths luckily a friend gave me their old one so I didn't have to fork out another £100+ for a new to use for 4mths.

I think the only thing I liked about it was that the back of the hood zipped off to create a sun canopy - much better than a parasol.

:rotfl:, I was only wondering!

I have it on the linear frame. Mine is obviously a slightly different body bit with it being the sleepover. I must admit, I've never tried to fold it as a 'oner', I always take the body off, then fold the wheels. (it says to do this in my book ) Its definately not an easily portable pram but I walk more often than drive. And when I do drive I have a massooooive car/boot space. My hall is big enough to leave the pram 'up' without being in the way and I can also fit it 'up' in my coat cupboard although I still put the body on the moses stand in the corner of the living room and he naps in there.
I suppose it just depends on what you want from a pram

I've got my eye on a 3 wheeler for talking over fields/down the woods with the dog, no way I'm wreaking my SX :eek: :rotfl:

Morning all,

Was on earlier but didn't post (have PM'd Beenie though!)

Off to Baby Sensory today, then going swimming this afternoon.

Csh - the changing room thing seems to be quite common as my friend's little boy hated them too! Must be the echoey noise or something! Anyway hopefully H will enjoy it and the sight of me in a swimsuit will scare everyone else off so we can have some nice quiet time.
Hope you feel better by the way. My cold has just shifted - had it for about 2 weeks.
And I have phoned NHS24 twice and they were fine. They aren't doctors so what they can do is limited, but they are there to provide some guidance or advice so better than nothing for most people I think.

Right, I am off now. Have a nice day everyone. x

lol! I don't think it's possible to fold the linear with the seat/carrycot on it anyway. The 3d is very different to the traditional carry cot/seat unit type, I would LOVE a classic SX (and I had a wee bounce of a coach built when I ordered my new pram ) but I don't walk much at all, have a tiny house and when I had Chris was driving a 3door nissan micra - no chance of getting an SX classic in there!

I hope H gets on fine then! I never clicked quick enough that it was the changing room he didn't like (and not me in a swimsuit) and stayed in trying to calm him down! Doh!

The pool was really quiet only about 6 peeps, thats why I love term time haha

FGS! K just sh*t again, 3rd time today! I think he forgot he could do it yesterday lol

I did catch up earlier but when J went back to sleep at 9am I kinda went with him

OH's fault as he went to work later and I CBA to start housework while he was here!

J is currently making his way through a piece of toast. He won't hold it in his hand so I am breaking off bits for him and he has swallowed a whole solider already :j
Few scary gaggin moments but he seems to be handling it OK.

The tap water is also goping down well!

Any reason why Jack can't have sausage and mash?

The sausages are frozen so would be cooked tonight and then given to him tomorrow (will keep in the fridge)

Beenie - I am so angry that your Ex has done this to you. Just as you were getting yourself back together.
This OD was done for effect - he bought enough drugs into your house for it. If he wasn't manipulating you he wouldn't have told you what he was doing so that you called the ambulance to save him.
Stay strong hun and don't let him in again xxxxxxxxxx

I had the Silvercross 3d Sport and always had to take the pram body off before I folded it - BIG FAT PITA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it took up the WHOLE BOOT!

Right I'm off to get K weighed and lunch at my mums. At least I can eat and go since I'm ill, every cloud and that..........

as long as you're happy with the contents of the sausage (I would be) but remember it's cruel to not provide onion gravy

hmm...been to another nursery this morning for a visit. its ok but not fantastic although they did tell me that they have been awarded a grant to improve it and i could see the work going on. (building an extension) so i'm sure when thats completed it will be a lot better.children all looked happy although they all oohed and ahhed over Kian none of them offered to play with him while they showed me around. it wasnt as big as the one i saw last. although that one has been built to be a nursery as opposed to a house being converted to a nursery. and they said they can be flex with days we need to use them which is a bonus. there is only a few babies at the moment so K would get a lot of 1-1.

so, i'm not wowed but it does suit us in other ways. tough choice methinks. another one to see tomorrow and i have emailed another 2 childminders who advertise vacancies to see if they can take K from may and how much they charge.

need DH to come with me i think before I make the decision.

why is choosing a nursery/CM so blinking hard???

Well, they are Richmond sausages and I eat them!

I was thinking about onion gravy but I was under the impression that there was too much Salt in gravy??????

My friend said I shouldn't give J my homemade bolganese because I put some Oxo cubes in it.
