    Yay for winning the sling but please (and please take this in the helpful way it's intended but I'm carp with words :o ) would you have a read of this http://www.slingguide.co.uk/frontcarries.php
    Sorry if I sound like I'm telling you what to do it's just it's not really reccommended to carry front facing out. I hope I've not offended you :o

    No, I didn't know that! :o Thanks for the link. TBH it would never have been a position to carry him in for long periods of time...but I also wanted one for something ultra-quick for just popping to the shop or something. :)
    top 2013 wins: iPad, £50 dental care, £50 sportswear, £50 Nectar GC, £300 B&Q GC; jewellery, Bumbo, 12xPringles, 2xDiesel EDT, £25 Morrisons, £50 Loch Fyne

    Hello all :D

    Am going soon to get Dylans new car seat .... and as strange a question as this sounds, should I take him with me ????

    Hi MM. Are you having the carseat fitted and will they need to adjust it or anything with Dylan in it?

    Morning Maz,

    Zebras are here. Sugar said they were 3 for 2 so she would like one if anyone manages to get them.
    Did your 2 sleep ok last night?

    Thanks, yep Henry slept all night in his own bed again :j and William went down after last feed at 11pm till 4am when he had a quick feed and then back to the land of slumber....

    Been out this morning shopping but only for a few bits so went on train to treat Henry... blinking weather, they said it would rain all day today and now its really nice, if I had known we could have gone out for the day...

    Yay Edgar...William keeps trying to sit up but then keeps falling over, he gets the hump if you lay him down... he is currently sucking the life out of his fingers.....
    Mum to 2 lovely boys who keep me busy.

    Boo yes I'm coming Wednesday and I'd love to try a wrap of some kind if that's ok? :A

    I was thinking of bringing A in the Joey but not sure I want to sit and hold him while we eat. Might just do that though as my pram is too big!

    ooooooooooooo I'll hold him :D
    I'll have my Joey as well :)

    Yeah I took J with me cos they adjusted all the straps so they fitted him perfectly then they fitted it in the car and I popped him in,

    Yay Hallway done....and shamed dh into (half) doing the kitchen, so will finish that later, probably while I am cooking dinner. I don't know how I thought I was going to get round all of upstairs too:cool: Loads of filing and chucking of paperwork to do later, at least that is a sitting down drinking tea job x

    MM - Idon't think you NEED to take Dylan, but you might want to so you can see how comfy he looks in the seats.

    Forgot to say earlier, we paid £50 for one of those zebras:eek: It was an impulse buy from Argos a couple of days before christmas. We were in there buying the boys their TV's and spotted them at the side.We had never seen them before, so bought one for Kai as his 'main' pressie....what a flaming waste of money AT THE TIME...he loves it now as he can walk over to it, climb on it and bounce it himself......but when we bought it he couldn't even stay on it so we had to try and hold him on it while bouncing it, it was a nightmare and it just got stuck in the corner of the room until about 2wks ago:D I really wish I had waited now though:(

    MM, we tried a few in Mothercare (they had a car seat that you could sit the seats on) and a few were not suitable because he fell to one side. We ended up getting one with side impact protection as they were deeper. Then ordered it online.

    Thanks Boo :)
    I'm looking for shantung and trying to decide between lilac, deep red, black and deep green for a 1950s style dress with elbow length sleeves and a giant skirt. I love the lilac colour but think it might be too much for a big dress IYSWIM? I'll look at your recommendations, but have found a super cheap ebay seller so we'll see ;)

    Aless the gym balls are great for core muscles.

    Right, next four tasks in no particular order:

    dry and dress
    eat something and make tea
    put the suitcase OH left for the cleaning fairies away
    put on Molly's laundry
