    Hi MFD How's the holiday?

    There is an Xplory in green, with all the bits, sitting on ebay at £100, 3 days to go, collection only, just round the corner from me. I told OH it was fate but he just shook his head at me. :(

    Buy it, buy it, buy it and then bribe him with sexual favours

    Is CP fabulous, MFD?

    I also use the carseat on the pushchair sometimes. I find it useful when just popping into a shop or baby clinic since H is now too heavy to carry even the shortest of distances in his carseat.

    I loved our travel system and used the car seat and buggy combo quite a lot :o
    When S was first born we lived in a first floor flat, and I felt safer carrying him up and down the stairs while already strapped into the car seat. And when we moved into our house we lost the luxury of driveway parking and sometimes have to park a 5-10 minute walk away from home, and it made sense to get him in the car seat ready. We also have only a 3 door car, now he is older and has a forward facing fixed seat its a real struggle to get him in sometimes and I do miss the ease of aiming the seat in the back! I did use it for quick trips round town and to the supermarket as well, but if we were going to be out for longer I always took him out and put him in his buggy.

    Tell him you will make another beautiful babba to make the most of it ;)

    CP is lovely thanks GISI. DSS is super excited because he got to build a den and hold a hawk today. Am shattered after all the fresh air and exercise lol.

    Hopefully all will sleep well tonight.

    I want rain every friday and saturday evening!!! It makes it so lovely and quiet outside...instead of groups of drunkards sitting outside the pub trying to out-shout each other till nearly midnight!!!!

    Caz...I did get your post earlier about carseat/booster seats, thanks:)

    I have just sent dh to the chinese for chicken chow mein, I am ravenous as I have only had a tiny chicken ceaser salad at lunch time and a few shortbread biccies since then....He has been out on his motorbike with ds1 since about 7pm!!!

    Grr, I did a Tesco online photo order and went to pick it up but they said it wasnt in yet, but checked my account when I got home and it said they were ready for pick up 2 days ago, and OH told me I'm stupid for being annoyed that they arent picking up the phone at this time of night! If it says on their website they man the phones til midnight tonight then I am surely not stupid for trying to ring them now, it is them that are stupid for not picking up? Dunno whats got up his backside tonight. Facking eejit
