3 yours are the new wheels, these are the old ones . Check out the listing, she says RRP £560 'this cost us over £600 when we bought it'. Aye, in 1988! Its a very old pram and not in the good way lol

That looks like the pram my mum had for my sister. She's 22 now!

I have a big pram that is more modern than that one, sat in my shed!! I should do something with it really. It's "only" 7 years old lol. But i only used it for 5 months! It's a Mothercare "riga" i can't find any mention of it online though.

EDIT - OH!!! That's cos it's a Cosatto not a mothercare. Mine's a limited edition too. Dammit, i've been looking for it for yonks!! Doh! I'll prob get a fiver for it

Thanks all - he went down almost instantly for a nap (should've done, he's been awake since 5!!) and so did I. Last night wasn't helped a bit by DH totally flipping out when Finn woke at 11pm (so it's not like it was even late? We had been in bed 20 minutes!) and then throwing a massive tantrum (DH, not Finn!!) when I stuck my ground on not giving in to the binky. He's just in a foul mood because he has to work Sunday, something he does less than once a year. Anyway, I've just gotten up (again) and need to sort breakfast before Finn wakes up any minute now - I'm starrrrving.

GISI, have fun!!

3, your story of picking up the Stokke made me laugh. Hopefully she had other reasons too

csh, you said something to me on the previous page but now I've totally forgotten. I think it was about sleep. Thanks for whatever it was

Susan, I watched that episode of History Cold Case you were talking about...very cool (if not a little sad to see all those children's bodies), but not sure how it makes me feel about the Huntarian Museum now!

Need to get Finn's passport app off today but I've just realised DH hasn't signed the form, grrrrrr. (he's signing since he's the British one)

The isle of wight has wifi like anywhere else I'd imagine! If there's costa there's wi-fi

Its not that far from here, and I think they need the interweb to organise some of the 'after dark' car park activities a certain group get up to! :o

I know they have Wi-Fi, I'm only kidding. Not sure they'll have ever seen an iPod Touch though .

I am so glad you like your Apple, Beenie. I feel I can go off and enjoy my holiday now I know it has arrived :rotfl:. Your pram saga is like a soap opera! Bet you've got a knew one by the time I get back.

Lol you lot are so funny taking the mickey out of those ebay listings, I must admit Im a lil shocked by some of the things people list! Am addicted to ebay at the mo and spend my time on my ipod via the ebay app trying to figure out what I need next (usually thanks to you guys on here) so atm am watching amber teething necklaces, leggings, swim seats and wet suits, not to mention random prams and toys lol.

Aless and Always sorry you both had rubbish nights again x

gisi - enjoy the IOW hope the weather stays good for you x

Had a lovely day in Portsmouth yesterday, the weather was fab and couldnt have asked for any more perfect. Tahlie was so good too and loved watching us eat the most mahoosive ice creams we've ever seen (OH got very messy and looked like a 3yr old eating his lol), she was licking her lips! Bought her a few bits at Gunwharf Quays and OH got some after shave and yet again I came away with nada! Finnished up our visit with a lovely walk along the sea front

Didn't get to meet EA in the end but will def be going back as its only an hour 15 min drive so we can meet another time and maybe some of you other south coast ladies can come too

Right need to get T dressed she's currently rolling around on her mat naked and watching TV. She loves being naked but she's been there for nearly an hour now.

Beenie - get it on ebay I had a grandmother in at work last year trying to get hers repaired cos she loved it, but cassatto dont do the parts anymore. So there maybe someone like her out there that would love to replace there old one. Oh and big yeay for finally getting your apple I love the idea of being able to swap from 3 to 4 wheels am gonna have to take a proper look at them next time Im near M&P.

I thought that was a modern style. The pram we've been loaned has wheels like this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SILVER-CROSS-Navy-Vintage-COACHBUILT-hardbodied-PRAM-/390201682152?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Baby_BabyTravel_Pushchairs_GL&hash=item5ad9d528e8
We have five steps going up from our path to the pavement though so I can't see us being able to use it next time.

I was glad they decided to bury him at the end. The Huntarian isn't all illegally/immorally obtained human bodies though is it?

No it's not at all - most I believe are fine, it was just a bit...icky...to know that some of the stuff we saw may have been obtained by illicit means. Oh well, I suppose if you think about it, all museums are like that! I mean look at the stuff in the British Museum that was stolen from all over the Empire...

Yes the Zia, she has now decided is very, very nice :rotfl::rotfl:

Have a lovely time GISI and Lady.

Mel sending you more hugs. So sorry yesterday was so crap for you. Your OH may be even worse than mine in needing a kick up the backside, we can get them both with Searchies pitchfork

Csh, do you really think MFD indulged in too much :beer: last night? Can't see it myself

3, nice pram! But don't let Beenie see it.

Lost count of the amount of times I got up to see to Alex last night, every time i got down to him he had turned sideways in the cot. He either doesn't like it or is waking himself whilst kicking the sides of the cot. Straighten him out, put dummy in, repeat a zillion times..............
