  • Hi All
    Have been missing in action for a few weeks while I finished up at work, but am now a free woman so hoping to join in with chatting a bit more.
    Had such a lovely morning with H this morning, fed the ducks and shared a bun in M and S cafe and then slowly browsed M and S, Mothercare and Tesco and she was so happy throughout. Makes me think I made the right decision in leaving work (but ask me again in a few months when my brain has totally stopped working!)
    Oh and I'm expecting another small person in approxmately 6 months, so am currently looking at double buggies, hence a question:
    What are the main differences between Phil and Ted Vibe and Sport?
    Buggy shopping always baffles me so I thought I'd ask those who have them!

    Morning all...

    Rhys was awake bright and early at 8am! Me thinks he needs to learn my working days - today is not one of them :p He did have his bottle then go back off til half nine when he woke me up by pulling my hair, lurvely! :( After we got up I made him some cereal which he wolfed down in record time so I made another whole serving, thinking sod law he only has another few spoonfuls and he wolfed that one down as well, greedy gannet! :D

    Opened the post this morning to find terribly timed news... I've been called for jury service on Monday 10th May for two weeks - which is my last week of KIT days, my first week at work and Rhys' birthday right in the middle of it! :eek: :( I'm going to ask if I can defer it until sometime later this year when I'm more settled in my job. Fingers crossed they let me! :o

    Play specialist due later and hopefully she brings the scales :)

    Hope everyone is having a good day and manages a nap later :) xx
    could you blag it a bit and say Rhys has un-movable appointments etc lay it on a bit thick :cool: I bet I'd get kicked off the jury if I get called, they prob don't take kindly to people turning up late :p

    Elle, I'm sure you can say no if you have a valid reason, and first week back at work after ML is valid. (your employer has arranged things for you to return on that date, training, re arranging staff etc)

    oooh congrats!!!
    The main difference is that the vibe is more stylish and less rugged, I think there's more chance of getting a bargain with the sport too

    The one time I was called it turned out it was my friends ex. I told them I already knew he was guilty due to him bragging about it and they replaced me.

    ooh I wonder if he's caught Ed up then, he was 18lb something last week

    I would think he's around 17-18lb now - like Jillie says he eats like a horse!
