    Hey Bruno, you're always talking about going to the farmer's market - which one do you go to? We used to live near the Oval one, but when we moved I failed to find a new (good) one.

    Ack, I have a 10% eBay voucher that expires tomorrow - valid only in Baby category - whatever should I buy? :D:D

    would like to win a holiday, please!!

    Hi Aless,
    We go to the Wimbledon Park market, which is every Sat 9am-1pm, we go every second week or so as a rule. I think it's a pretty good one but I suppose it depends what you are looking for :) they have decent fruit and veg, meats and bakers, mainly.

    hey, Zia gurus...as we know, the shopping basket is crap. Which one of these bags do you think would work better? Do you have something else you use with your Zia?

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NET-BASKET-PETITE-STAR-ZIA-BLACK-bag-/150445762673?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Baby_BabyTravel_Pushchairs_GL&hash=item2307442871
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190399200584&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    I know the net basket will hold much less, but I'm concerned that the wedge one will hang too awkwardly (I will kick it/bang knees into it when walking) and you can't use it at any sort of recline.

    eta: Thanks Bruno, probably a bit far for us unless as a very special treat.

    There's a slightly smaller one in Clapham on Sundays if that's any better. Went there once or twice.

    Aless - I like the wedge one better.

    I've got one of these on the zia, but it doesn't hold a lot, but I like the handy bottle holder bits.

    With shopping, I tend to hang a normal shopper on the handles. The Zia seems to be able to take quite a bit of weight before it tips.

    I was shocked at my friends Zapp - she couldn't even hang a little carrier bag on it as it tipped! :eek:


    Happy Birthday SS. xxx

    How is everyone this morning?

    OH has taken V out for a walk - I suspect he just wanted to use my Stokke! :rotfl:

    L is back from her sleepover looking like she's had about 2 hours sleep - i've sent her upstairs to try and have some sleep because she's a grumpy little sod when she's tired.

    I made my tutu last night - i'm amazed at how easy it is! I wish i'd got red and white now for a football one.

    L wants me to make her a matching one now.

    ooo, thanks 3. Since it doesn't attach at the bottom, does it not hang down and be liable for knee-bumpage?
