MSE Parents Club Part 12

Squishy

Morning all,

hope you're all fine Been up for a while, and getting a chance to catch up and post while bubs is having a nap. We had a restless night here, with a lot of tears this morning - I think we're teething as she wouldn't let me put bonjela on her top gums Poor baba!

Plans for today include a trip to the shop, and some tidying up around the house. I made a silly mistake yesterday which Elena profited from though: I was told that the debenhams sale was online, and I had a voucher which needed to be used in the next couple of weeks. So I went and ordered her a dress, shoes and socks, and proceeded to checkout where I must have misread some instructions and ended up charging it all to my credit card So, as we went into town in the afternoon anyway, she lucked out and got another outfit from the shop with the voucher Was good though - got a jeans/tshirt combo with 40% off, and a baseball cap with 60% off!

Morning all *yawn*

I think we had our first nightmare last night. At 12.30am Benjamin was really screaming and crying and throwing himself at me for a cuddle...and then went back down within (literally) seconds of me reassuring him that I was there.

I on the other hand, couldn't resettle myself at all and after about 20 mins of tossing and turning I got up and pottered around for five minutes or so. Then managed to drop off but Benjamin woke me again at 2.30am and the whole process repeated itself.

I used to find it easy to resettle myself after settling Benjamin but I have really struggled over the past week or so.

Quick question for the parents... I have a little one on the way and we need a new car as mine is breaking down alot and OH's is an ancient and very small wreck! I'm worried about boot space for prams/changing bags and all the other carp you carry around with kids!

I'm looking at the Kia Cee'd at the moment as its cheap with a very long warranty which is ideal for us. Comparable boot sizes would be a Fiat Stilo, Ford Focus etc.

Anyone have any of these cars and manage to fit in a pram with loads of other kids stuff? i just want to make sure before i buy it.

Many thanks parents

Hiya Bufger - haven't got a Focus or a Stilo, I have a Civic...but I am not sure what you mean about loads of other kids stuff? I have a buggy in the car and take a changing bag with me (usually on the passenger seat or in the footwell underneath the baby seat if I have others in the car) but I don't tend to carry any other stuff around as a rule.

Holidays are slightly different - do you intend on going away a lot?


Congratulations on your impending motherhood

:hello: Hello all. Had a quick skim back through a few pages, hugs all round as they seem to be needed in quite a few places.

Weezl had a quick look at your website too and it looks great. You can tell you have put an awful lot of work into it.

I have MIL staying at the moment so won't be on much this week.

Glam saw you were in hospital but didn't see what for, hope you are ok

Sister's wedding thing was great and Alfie was an angel all day even though it was like baby pass the parcel. He's a right tart, not bothered in the slightest who he's with even if he's never met them before lol!

Hi bufger, do you know what pram you're getting / got? i used to have a fiesta(i think the boot on one of these is same as a focus?) and fit a loola in there which is a little bulky, i couldnt fit much else in though. maybe look up a pic of the pram you're after when its folded, some of them can fold down quite compact.

Hi Bufger,

Congratulations on your pregnancy. My hubby has a Focus and the boot is a decent size. Our pram fits in easily leaving plenty of room for luggage/swings etc if we are going away for a couple of days. Saying that, when they are young, you will have a lot more stuff as we don't need to take swing/bouncy chair etc. I have a Megane, and it's big enough for the pram, but you can't fit much else in the boot once it's in, so the Focus is definitely more roomy.

Oh and just for info I had just one quote returned from shiply about taking cupcakes from Leeds to Tara - £180 :eek:
