    Why aren't you allowed to take the Stokke? Although i've never seen one folded - do they fold?

    lol, I went to m&p yesterday, never been in a store before I thought it was poop!
    They had a silver diamonte egg cup in the christening gifts - classy AND useful :rotfl:

    beenie, the plastic one isn't very good, you want the one on a metal frame if you get one (we have both)

    They do, but not very small and the seat and the base are separate. You can buy a bag for them but it is not very padded, wouldn't trust monarch not to knock it around.

    Hubby wants to go to MILs villa in florida in September, I have told him if we go there is no way I am leaving the Stokke at home :cool:


    Our finances go: I pay mortgage and 90% of bills (hubby needs something in his name for ID purposes so he does Council Tax), car, insurances etc and do food shopping and majority of clothes shopping. Hubby does holidays, treats and other stuff that needs doing around the house - he is currently having decking done.
    I earn a decent wage consistently, hubby owns his own company so his income depends on how many lads he has got working on however many jobs and whether his clients have paid him or not!

    Works for us. It's a bit feast and famine but I manage to keep us afloat most months and then hubby manages to keep me in the manner to which I have become accustomed once or twice a year :)


    Off to bed. xxx

    And.. I'd not be anywhere near scottish power.. bunch of idiots.. and their customer service is appaling and they are really expensive!

    Are they more expensive? :o I think I'm about 15.something per kilowatt or how ever they measure it?

    Maz - So as I've been with SP for almost 3 years another company would change it? Awesome, I may even switch from Scottish Power to say F*** YOU for not sending my new key card. I have phoned every month you know (10 days....I'm always told) now I know my postman (or one of them) has deffo nicked birthday cards I've been sent, but why the hell would they nick a key card?

    LIARS!
