    Glam- am on the iPod ATM so can't see the pics too well but it's the angle of the seat that looks all wrong! If your not happy with the peeps at mc then do you still have the reciept? If so take it back along with that and complain, personaly am quite angry for you cos I know just how much training we do in our store so this kinda thing shouldn't happen.

    I cleared out my wardrobe a couple of weeks ago and put it all in order, OH's face was a picture when we counted 20 pairs of jeans :eek::rotfl:

    My jeans drawer was holding 27 pairs. :o I'm now down to my favorite 12.

    I filled a bin bag and a half for the clothes bank, freed up a wardrobe and a drawer for V's stuff, put my boots in the loft and brought down half my summer shoes. I have a ridiculous amount of shoes. :o

    I find that hard to believe. :rotfl:

    Hugs Caz. :T For Charlie coming home. I hope he's back to his normal self soon.

    Agutka :eek: How scarey! I've only ever lost one of mine. J, when he was playing in the garden, and he sneaked through a gap in the hedge on his toddler trike, to run away with the bin men!

    Peeing - my lovely DD peed on my foot yesterday as she stood at the edge of the bath naked, waiting for it to be ready. :(

    It's finally happened. I lost Joseph. It was just like you hear people describe it, he was there one second and then he was gone. Puff into thin air. I should say before anyone worries that he only stayed lost for 5 mins or so, but I was on the verge of a breakdown. Sainsbury's carpark, security guard says we'll call the police. He could be under a car or been taken. I was so lucky there was a man standing outside, bless him, who actually saw my darling son running back inside the shop (thought he was with someone else), so the search area was easier. We were about to get all the staff to search the shop when I saw the monkey happy as larry darting in and out of the checkouts. Of course when he saw me he thought it was a great game and ran faster.
    I'm offloading this on you guys, because I can't really tell my friends and family, they'll just blame me and I don't need that right now.
    Thanks for listening.

    Agutka, bigs hugs, last year Henry let himself and the dog out the front door and went to the park across the road:eek: at 8pm one night and was gone for 15 mins :eek: so it happens to us all at some point...

    My next dilemma re car seats is what to do when she hit 4yo/weight limit on her current seat which to choose as I'm not keen on the cushion like booster seats.

    Jam IIRC from when I bought Katies current seat (the same one) it's to so with force being exerted on the seat belt buckle during a crash if it's touching anything there is a risk of the belt being forced to unclip IYKWIM. Assistant in MC called it 'buckle crunch' or something similar.

    Jam - buckles are awkward at the best of times but basically they can sit along side the seat but not on top of the plastic, would def get a pro to take a look.

    On that note if your not sure the person knows what their talking about ask to see their training certificate, and it shouldn't be older than 3 years, and should be from one of the major suppliers like britax or maxi cosi or a local council.

    lovely pic! Ed got that romper for Easter, matching babies :)

    just in case, i'll post the link again Local Car Seats Help and Advice
    that link is always in the 2nd post too :D

    MDW we've got a seat that goes to 11yrs for Chris, the britax evolva, I got it now he doesn't sleep as often in the car and he can get in and out himself which is easier when faffing with getting Ed in (plus now Ed is in C's old 9mth+ seat)
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
