    Oh and CM's new 'toy' was unveiled this morning...

    Ta Da:
    Brilliant :D

    Aless - fabby shoes. I love them! What good taste the bride has :D

    Beanie - its a hard one. I agree that if the picture has the basket in it then it is reasonable to expect you are bidding on that too - even though she didn't list it in the advert, she didn't specify that it wasn't included. I would get in touch with her and 'discuss it via email!'

    well - we have had a wonderful naptime. usually I have to sit and pat/rock LO to sleep on the couch. Today, following on from last night i put her in her slepeing bag, cuddled her in her dark room for a few minutes, lay her in the cot and settled her/patted her back for a couple of mins, then said night night and left the room. She moaned 4 times then out like a light! I'm amazed, very pleased there was no battle and seeing that there may be light at the end on my forever-disrupted-evening-rocking-baby-to-sleep tunnel!

    so off for a jaffa cake and cuppa to celebrate before a trip to see an old friend this afternoon :D

    Hello all, hope you are all having a good Friday!

    For no apparent reason my daughter slept through the night last night for the first time in a year! Will have to try and remember what was different in the bedtime routine last night and do it again tonight!

    Happy Birthday Beenie and Reece. x


    Lovely photo Glam.

    Lovely legs and shoes Aless

    Bruno how is Mrs B's morning sickness? The one and only thing that worked for me were the wrist bands for travel sickness.

    pink nico - think something was in teh air as lots of babies slept well last night :D

    Beanie - I would politely reply that as she hadn't specifically stated that it wasn't included it was reasonable for you to assume that it was included (was everything else included that you would expect?) but I wouldn't hold your breath I'm afraid.

    Bruno - have I missed some exciting news???????????? someone better fill me in on what else I've missed!

  • Yay for a full nights sleep pinknico. Full nights come and go here, although are usually more frequent than not. It has to start somewhere :D

    Beenie I'd reply as rmac said then see what she says, I know its not much use now but I avoid sellers with sketchy descriptions like hers was.

    Am I right in thinking mothercare clothes are on the small side?

    sami - I'm not sure. Annabel is just out of her cordoroy dungarees that were 9-12months (shes 15 months now) but then she seems to be a size behind in clothes in all shops right now, bar gapbaby where she is in her correct size IYKWIM.

    I know it's not entirely her fault but it is misleading. I want to send a message that basically says "just send me it cos you know eBay will side with me" :p:p :rotfl:

    How do i say that politely?!!

    Beenie i would tell her that you wouldnt have paid so much for the item without a basket and if the picture shows it them it should be included. If you do not recieve a partial refund or the basket then you will have to open a not as described dispute and leave a negative feedback.
    What's for you won't go past you
