    harley- hope it all goes well tomorrow

    K has taken to the new formula ok. but has had some 'runny' poos today so not sure if its the change in milk or his minute amount of food he ate yesterday.

    had a lovely day today. it was Rufford Old Hall we went to. its a part tudor house/hall and was amazing.

    have been hinting that PIL need to get an 'all-terrain' buggy for when we go out with them as the one we have doesnt do well over rough/uneven countryside paths. anyone any suggestions for a cheap as chips all-terrain buggy??

    GISI, Henry's still so young to even consider solids! I'm sure his look of jealousy was just a coincidence :).

    PP - Will this be baby 9 for you (or am I imagining that)

    SM - It will be your turn soon enough....to enjoy the extortionate costs that is running a car! They are funny things, I was less stressed when we never had one, but felt trapped, now the money just seems to fly out of our pockets into damn cars but we have freedom!!!

    Right I am going to run a bath and dunk the kids quickly, lets see if they smell less afterwards:p

    *says in alittle voice* ... stop talking about cars you're all making me jealous :o:rotfl:x

    Really? End of Dec - £66 road tax. Middle of Feb - £180 + £50 MOT Today £35 MOT, failed, upto £200 tomorrow to be repaired and MOT then £120 road tax. plus, possible fine for not having road tax (it expires at midnight tonight) because I am so thick and I forget that both need MOTing this month.

    Still jealous?

    That's horrible, Tia, I'm sorry :(

    It was fun while it lasted and if nothing else, a huge learning experience. Would do it again in a few years once trade picks up, but with a lot more experience.

    Yep 7 seater and a boot!! It is the Grand Espace we are going for...looked at the Espace and not really any more boot than most other 7 seaters....If this one is gone I will just scour the net and papers because I have my mind set on it now, would have been nice to get a different colour as it ust happens to be almost identical in colour to our car:cool:

    Sorry, I meant grand espace, was being lazy. The espace is fine for us because we just remove 1 seat, but the grand espace is huge inside. The trajet has no boot, you could fit a cheap unbrella buggy in and thats it, so we took a seat out, its now a 6 seater :D I hate that car though, really really hate it.

    Jillie, for an all terrain try and pick up a used XTS twister. Buy some slime for the tyres. Honestly it is great. Heavy, but we keep it in the car so it's not as if we need to fold it for the bus or anything, but for outdoors, I love it. During all that snow, everyone with their little fancy prams were alllik e'oh ma gawd, I so can't like, push this uber expensive fancy pram with ipod dock' and I was all like 'swoosh, see ya! Snow drift? What snow drift? Oh you mean that one I just ploughed through?! Hell yeah!' and stuff.

    Basically, a 3 wheeler with huge tyres will do. But buy slime for the blow up ones, its so totally awesome that stuff!
