    I have OHs roll of bubble wrap and shrink wrap and just used that its well packed an i have warned her it may take a while to get into it PMSL! My B&Q have a place at the front of their shop that has boxes of all shapes and sizes? the courier i use is ezdelivery they also take paypal and if you book before 12 they pick up the same day! i always use 48 hour delivery and it is always there the next day :D

    If i have worked money out correct i can pay the dep this week, would have to save hard for spending and petrol but we have 6 weeks so i think we can do it! My thinking also is that as it is a cottage i could proably get an asda order sent there for us arriving which would save trailing shops for food and more time to have fun :D

    Beenie, if it helps, I bought the Mura without trying it first and I love it. If I could have tried it first I would have done though I think. Mind u, I always think prams are nice to push but its not till Ive been pushing them into town or something that I seem to notice the bad points (like not easy to get up pavements etc).

    Yay! And I will totally love the Joolz :D hehe.

    Until i have to get it into my Clio boot. On a regular basis. Taking it apart.

    But all the prams i like need taking apart lol so i am choosing looks over convenience :A
  • For all you North West ladies we stopped here on the way back and it was lovely. The food was fresh and homemade and the staff were lovely. It is only 14 miles from Wigan so would be worth a run up if you were looking for somewhere different.

    It wasn't at all fancy, just a nice family pub.



    FBB - he will have more teeth before you know it!! I just give Benjamin a toothbrush to chew on and if he lets me I give them a quick scrub (but TBH I don't push it ATM - I worry that I will hurt him if he has new teeth coming through).

    Or you could buy heavy duty cling and wrap it up loads in that or I suppose you could cover it in black bags then wrap in cling!!

    That Icandy looks lovely, tbh if it all folded together I would be onto it myself, but have been put off by the fact that the seat has to come off before folding....I am far to lazy/impatient/impulsive to be bothered. That's the main reason I didn't go for the icandy peach blossom as my double!!

    i was exactly the same i said to the girl imagine it pouring with rain and 2 crying babiesthen having to take a bloody pram apart and get it in the car :rotfl:

    Thanks, I have amended my listing to offer courier now and said it will prob be in region of £25 to £30 as would need to be in 2 parcels (as its pram, car seat, 2 bases). Ha that kind of vaugue P&P would really bug me as a buyer. I will only have myself to blame if/when it doesnt sell!!

    Caz, blimey o riley that is loadsa dosh isnt it!! Have to admit i do think its v cool though. Gawd im so taken in by trendy looking prams!!

    Right im off to bed now, nite all xx
