Happy birthday Rhys!! :bdaycake:

Well i'm this >. close to getting a hammer onto the Buzz. I finally managed to get the inner tube back in, after first testing for holes, there doesn't appear to be any... But i can't inflate the flucking thing now, my bike pump seems to be letting more air out than it's pumping in thanks to the stupid shape of the Buzz valve.

What a fricking faff :mad: Does the Oyster have these stupid tyres?

Has anyone used an icandy apple btw?

EXPLAIN - free how come?

She has a son with special needs and once he was over 3 and not potty trained he was elligible for help... She gets something like 6 per day for him, but seeing as he's a nightmare to change (it takes 2 people when he's at school) it doesn't get done quite that often, hence the abundance!

No Beenie, it has big old fashioned rubber tyres

Oh and PP... I would still make OH do the 'faff' with the pie for tea

Morning all, hope all babies mummies and daddies are well

Just popped in to ask a question

Someone bought one of those 'reworked' petite star zia's from nurseryvalue (I thought it was 3? but might have imagined that)

Would you recommend it?
Was it in pretty good condition when it arrived?
Do you you get any sort of warranty on them?
Do they come with a raincover?

Thanks
Sadie

I didn't get a reworked one, I got the new one on offer with the cosytoes/bag/raincover for £99.99. (Looking at the package deal now though, it looks like it's swapped the raincover for a parasol for summer).

I've just had a look on the site, and the reworked ones have some customer reviews, all saying brilliant/can't tell it's not brand new etc, but the only downside in the reviews was that it didn't come with the raincover. The raincover on the site costs £23.44 :mad: which I don't think it's worth!

We were only allowed 3 a day! :mad:
I've still got a few bags in the shed - but they're huge! I think they're adult size xs.

I fear i may pop a vein in my head.

I'm gonna drive round to Morrisons and check my car tyres... I'm taking the Buzz wheels with me. And if they don't inflate with that, i will get the hammer out.

Millie's_Mum

Thanks for that 3, I'm beginning to think it might be better to buy a new one and just try and get a good deal on that, it worries me slightly that they have enough returns to have a website which sells them on again!

Have you tried to freecycle them? Things like that pop up on ours occasionally and get collected quick enough...

My friend gets actual pampers in size 6... But then her boy is only a dot... slightly taller than Aimee but very skinny... He'd probably get something different if he was bigger...

Never thought of things in that way... Good point...

:eek: It didn't flipping work. The air pump at Morrisons didn't even fit.

I refuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse to buy a Quinny pump :mad:

cazscoob

Beenie do you have a halfords or baby close by as they may be able to help you out! i cant see how a quinny pump would be any different from any other pump? either that or what about a tin of that stuff you put in your car tyre when it goes flat? it repairs the hole and blows the tyre up!

i nees to get these black bags out as i think i will notice a difference to the house! i ahve started the ironing as im determind to have downstairs finished tonight! any tips on cleaning a leather seatee?? i have used baby wipes but it still looks dirty?

How brave are you? Put out an ad on Freecycle saying can you bring your pram over to use their pump (and maybe offer a packet of biscuits by way of thank you)?
