This site carries all the info on house sales prices and also shows the owners info as the same on the land registry.

Unless it was a repossession in which case third party sites don't have details of the most recent sale.

Krystal :mad: Now i'm liking the look of the Oyster but they're even more expensive than a Quinny (based on a quick look on ebay).

I notice none of these fancy parent facing, reclining pushchairs fold small-ish though.

I like the Oyster's shopping basket but i fear the folded size might be a problem.... But that's a problem for most.

Omg i'm starting to see why most of you have a pushchair addiction.

Hi csh! How's work??

I am thinking that most of these "young 'uns, will have no idea what Weezl is going on about.

It folds quite small and square if it's forward facing... Shopping basket is crap compared to something with a classic chassis though... Better than most though I suppose...

This 26 year old doesn't... Does that make me a young 'un or just sheltered?

Beenie - If you like the Quinny Buzz, go for it. I do think it's best to go into a shop and have a play about with prams before ordering though. We gave it serious consideration when buying a pram and I see loads about up here and think they look smart. Not fussy, and not weird either. It's really easy to fold as it's pneumatic. I think it only folds with the seat attached when outward facing which is the same as the Loola. To be honest, the Loola is so easy to unclip that I don't think I would fold it all together anyway as it makes it pretty heavy. It takes seconds to unclip and fold the Loola Up and get it into my car. The Buzz folds kind of flat I think and could take up quite a bit of room in your boot as you have a small car. If I were you, I would go to a shop and play with it, then ask to try it in your boot because it might not fit!
Remember, what suits one person might not suit another, so just because people here don't like it, doesn't mean it wouldn't be right for you as everyone's needs/wants are different.

Am I TMIing if I say that I am usually nekkid or boxered when working at home or otherwise lounging? We have slatted slanted blinds, and if someone knocks on the door I put on my dressing-gown and have no additional shame.

Hmmm, It may affect the way I read your posts now.

Its free, you just have to register.
Very adictive finding out what your friends and neighbours have paid for their houses if you are very nosy!!!

I've found the house on there, and the sale from last year, but can't find any other details about the buyer.

It's a pita. Mum lives in a lovely, huge, old 5 bed terrace. But because they're so big, most that have sold over the years have gone to landlords. I think only Mum and one other house have the owners living in them now. Then the landlords put huge families in and don't give a toss!
The family from hell next door now, have apparently been evicted from council and housing association properties so they won't touch them, so they have to go into private renting unfortunaltely for my Mum! :mad:

Fitz, thanks I think i didn't realise that there's other pushchairs that are as compact and have most of the same features.... I've seen a few i like the sound of

Quinny Buzz
Babystyle Oyster
Graco Symbio (is this new out? Doesn't appear to have reached 2nd hand market yet).

I want parent facing, shopping basket, light to push... etc all the usual. Love the in built sun shade on the Oyster... Not many of those on ebay either.

On a random note, does anyone else have a child that likes to use boob as a stress ball :eek:

Yes - she used to paw/claw it like a cat when she was feeding.

Now, if she gets in the bath with me, she likes to poke/pull the ninckles to see if they go beep like daddys nose does.
