Weezlie, baby Alfie turned back to back at the last minute so SJ went into the hospital instead of her planned HB. But they were both fine (forceps delivery but mum and baby home v quickly and all proceeding well).

Also, look. There are a few on ebay, I don't know where you are precisely to locate by postcode but this is on the slightly expensive side from the looks of it because it includes a postage rather than a collection option.

Thank you! I've been a bit nervous about ebay having experienced big delays before in recieving things.

If it was a netmums person who I could actually get to say a postage day then I think that might be better for me.

I can just see myself in my current frame of mind getting angry and tearful every day it didn't arrive else! I don't know if that makes any sense?

But I can search my local ebay listers and then pick up, that would alleviate my anxiety.... Thanks

... Elle, is it your local mumsnet/netmums that you saw one for £120? I'd really love a linkie/phone/number or sommat if not!

Yup, it was Netmums but I've just checked and the ad has gone now


Morning all,

Asked OH to wake me up before he went to work this morning. He did, but at 7.30am... he's supposed to start work at 7.20am! Oops!

We have an eye check up this morning, when no doubt Rhys will continue to look cross-eyed all the way through and not straighten his eyes out like he has been doing a lot of just lately! :cool: Nothing invasive, it's just getting him to follow toys from right to left etc. It least it's out of visiting hours so parking should be okay I know from FB one of the nurses who looked after Rhys a lot is working today so we might call in the Neonatal unit if we have time too

Hope everyone is well xx

I get that way without being pregnant - as soon as I think something should have arrived I get upset that it hasn't because I hate the idea of having to chase it up.

Are they cheaper to rent, maybe? Or is that not a good idea?

Weezl, this is just a link from the bottom of the page when I searched for local pool on eBay but they mention next day delivery and will even drive the pool to you that day if you order before 2pm if necessary (didn't look how much they charge though!)

Oh, found this too. Standard delivery £9.99 (cheapest offer is £79.99 from £120 for a pool or £99.99 from £170 for a bells and whistles package) and they use Parcelforce 48.

Morning all

I'm absolutely loaded with cold again :mad: Wish I could stop catching colds. I feel like I've had a permanent one since I was really poorly with a more flu-like cold last October. It no sooner clears up, then the symptoms come back.

Pancake day today. Hope everyone gets plenty of tossing action in later

I know - £110 for 48 hour delivery and all the bonus stuff, and it would probably have decent resale value too (probably not the debris net though _pale_) providing it's possible to pack it all up and post it.

If I were buying it I'd probably buy the £99.99 package and a £1 aquarium net, then put the thing up on ebay with a £75 ono BIN plus £10 shipping.

Now I'm all maudlin cause at the very best I'm looking at a medically controlled VBAC next time and other people get to stay at home in their pools
