i had the zapp and i loved it but it didnt lie back, i now have the Loola Up and am swaying with putting it on ebay lol! i find with a lot of the lightweight strollers that the handles are all really high and im a short 5.2. ill go on a nose and let you know what i find. my problem is i like air filled tyres and prefer the way they push hence swaying with the Loola!

Evening all

Gorgeous photos - Weezl you're such a talented photographer

My friend and her OH have just left, it was a lovely weekend and their big news is SO EXCITING. I informed her that pregnancy is dated from the LMP, and she didn't realise - so I doubled her pregnancy!!!!!

Other big news is that we finally booked a holiday and we're off to Tenerife on Wednesday! We'll be on the other side of the island from La Familia MFD, but they're thinking of hiring a car so we'll see I shall prove my nonbuilderishness yet.

OH has just managed to incinerate dinner because he didn't check the temperature control on the oven - the very thing he always mocks me for not doing.

I figured if Iwas gonna have it for 3yrs I should buy new but will go look now. I love the look of the Zia but have heard of terrible service if you have a problem!

Hello Weezl, how are you? XXX

hello Tara I'm good thanks. I thought I might cry when my brother left earlier after a weekend visit, because it's baby blues day, but my milk hasn't come in yet so I feel ok, but perhaps have some tears to look forward to tomorrow!!!

How're you? Is S getting established in a nice little routine with things now Poppie is at home? Do you guys get to go and visit much or is it too hectic with you?!

oh how exciting! Meet ups on holidays that's brilliant I bet you will get on famously

SS lovely girl I was thinking of you today, and have been thinking a bit about birth stories as I'm trying to write mine for sami's excellent thread. Then I read this today in the new internationalist, and I thought of you, labouring with Molly. Might be a bit random but I hope it's meaningful:

'Everybody needs a witness when they're going through hell-wherever and whatever that hell is-It's a form of solidarity, of verification, that the unbelievable really is happening to you...'

love weezl x

I always watch a weepy film when I feel the need to cry, brings it on and gets it over with. X

S is ok, but struggling to express and manage everything so I said that as she has enough to last until the end of the week she could consider changing to FF as I think she has been amazing expressing for over 6wks as it is. She said she felt bad as I always fed longer but I told her there was no way I could ever have managed under the circumstances she had, think she felt she'd done well then. I'm supposed to be going tomorrow but have been ill today so we'll see in the morning.

Tara, is there space between the two back seats? In mine the back ones sit alone so there is space between them and up the sides, not much, but some. I like the zia, folds small and lies flat properly. You could check ebay for a mega cheap one and if you do like it, buy a new one and re sell the old one. The good thing about getting one second hand is you know what it will be like after a few years use and abuse.

And our DD should not feel guilty about moving onto formula feeding, she has been through the mill with Poppie and right now Poppie needs a happy relaxed mummy more than breast milk.

Glam, I meant to say earlier, why did the suitcases not make it out to the front path? :cool: As in MEGA HINT
