    Thank you for monitor suggestions...I will look about and see If I can get any good deals on the ones mentioned:) I did see the BT100 on Amazon, through a seperate seller for £29.99, so am keeping that in mind for now while I check for anything cheaper!

    K slept fine in the boys room, he woke up shouting me at 6.50, which isn't bad at all. His shouting did wake the boys but they are usually up by 7am anyway so no big deal. L said he went over to K and whispered to him to Shhh and go back to sleep:rotfl: They are now all breakfasted and just need some clothes on.

    Spent yesterday playing at configuring two car seats and a booster seat in the car:p I 'think' I have them in the best places now....time will tell.

    No probs.

    The main difference from then would be that they now don't advise the plain calamine lotion as it dries the skin and makes it more itchy....

    I defintely found the Clarytin liquid good...or if they haven't got that one there is Piriton liquid but can make them very drowsy;)

    Morning!! Sorry I never made it back last night after attempting to catch up!! Thank you for the tooth answers, just had another feel this morning and no change since yesterday, lol!

    Beenie, bit late now but I agree with the others that you shouldnt have to buy either pram now. So what pram have you currently got, the buzz? How are you getting on with it? Did you see I bought the maxicosi mura in the end and am very pleased with it, got it off freeads, quite a heavy pram but great for when im going on my longer walks and LOVE that it faces me.

    On Thursday me and 2 mummy friends went to a cafe on Gold Hill in Shaftesbury (does anyone remember it, its the cobbled hill on the old Hovis ads). Well I had got a lift up with my friend so I only took the Zapp as it fits in her boot easier. Well what a laugh it was trying to get those little wheels over the cobbles, in the end some chap came and lifted it the last bit but even he was a bit odd, as if I shouldnt have attempted it. Well you dont know till you try do you!! Actually bit of a crap day all in all as one of the ladies working in the cafe seemed particularly offish with us as too we had 3 buggys with us, well hello we didnt have an awful lot of choice!! Aside from that grr-ness, T ate his lunch well in there sat in their high chair so pleased with that!! :)

    We are off to visit MIL & FIL this morning, weather not so nice here today.

    Think i might get up in a second and watch a film :)

    You must be the only new mum in the world who has insomnia not caused by the baby!!

    Well busy morning tidying the house then dropping off A at mum's at 1pm as we are going to see Elton John tonight!!! :j Soooooooooooo excited!!

    You guys (Beenie lol) are funny with your pram obsessions! Any of you know of a cheap nice parent facing strollery type? I like the asda baby event cheapy one but I would prefer PF really. Won't be buying anything else though unless it's a bargain!

    FBB i sold the Buzz lol, kinda wish i didn't now though cos i did like it really. So i'm using a Graco Mosaic atm with car seat on (i'm not keen on it in pushchair mode).

    So i'm after a Joolz atm cos i'm lusting over a purple one on ebay :drool: :D:o Worst thing i found about the Buzz was dismantling it all to go in the car but the Joolz is worse for that so i'm a bit of a moron really :rotfl:

    Have told the other Joolz seller i'll think about it (and retracted my offer) and i've not replied to the Apple seller yet. :o

    The faires have arrived, thank you very much :)

    Im a bit low today, I am not well, and E is snotty, OH wants to go out to "play" with his friend, but I told him I wasnt happy with that and why cant all 6 of us go out, and his friend was up for that, but Nooooooooooooooo OH wants to just go out with his friend, he says all 6 of us can do something tomorrow.

    I am !!!!!!! sick of sitting in the house, and its crap having to deal with whingy E when I dont feel 100%

    So I am tempted to get the bus to where I used to live cos my friend is up from London and she's invited us to the pub for lunch today, or text my mam and ask what she is doing today, only problem with the pub lunch thing is that Ive only just managed to get E to sleep (he was fighting it even though he is wrecked) so dont want to disturb him by getting him into the pram, and putting some pants on him, cos my god he is whingy times a million if he gets disturbed in his sleep

    So *sigh* looks like another boring day in the house
