    No I live up near the hospital and work in the town centre. OH wanted me to look at nurseries on the opposite side of town and then get back and in time for work. not quite sure he know's how long getting me and a baby ready in a morning takes lol :eek:
    or getting across town - nightmare!
    Hope you can find a CM then, I don't know anyone round that side.

    Sami - I would take the delivery times out of the equation as if Ed has been fine in his crib up until now, a few more days won't make any difference. So it's preference of design v practicality of a waterproof mattress in which case I would go for practicality. But I haven't seen them.

    yeah i looked at that, rang a couple of numbers which took you to childrens information service and they said, theres an error on the website and every childminder says they 0 vacancies, so she's sending me the ones which will take babies and have vacancies. alot only take from 3 or 5 onwards because the older they are the more they can have i assume.

    Yes they are only allowed to have one under one. So if they have a baby under one of their own, they can't have another.

    Fab website then. Not.

    he'd be fine, he has a normal single at mum's and been in that for nearly a year. Its just that we have too much crap that we've just been shoving in any available space for ages and not got round to sorting and we want to move Chris into the other room because it's bigger and a single will fit much better etc.
    We're just totally lazy naughty parents :o:p

    right I'm off to get the super cheap one, hope I can fit it in the car :undecided might be calling Glam to come help :rotfl:

    oh and Chris saw the orthoptist today and was discharged :T he has better than average eyes :D
