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.

he climbed/ fell out yesterday and bust his lip:o

Natalie, have you tried the childcare finder for CMs. http://childcarefinder.direct.gov.uk/childcarefinder/

Sorry if i'm stating the obvious.

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

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

hmm, ikea cot works out £3 more than mothercare one
Ikea one is nicer IMO
I could go get ikea one now, MC one would be a few days delivery
ikea mattress isn't waterproof

HELP!

Can you get a waterproof sheet? Or undersheet?

I don't know why people's stupidity is always surprising to me. There are only so many meetings I can sit through without piping up and handing someone their backside, and today's knocked another off that number. :mad:

Still, it is acknowledged that I am excellent at my job and that is enough for now. Swimming with a friend this evening, I have the horrible feeling that despite having a baby three months after me, she is already in better shape than I am and will look better in her swimsuit.
