18th September to 3rd October this year.

I have a reservation for the first Sunday and am looking forward to raising many beers (by which I probably mean three, because I am an appalling lightweight and can't drink a lot any more).

thanks, i thought it was then. had a customer the other day who wanted to go but kept telling me it was the end of october. we dont have access to internet in work so i was like 'my friend lives there, i'll ask her'....then totally forgot to lol!

Where would i buy one of them?

Our current one came with the pram.

Lily is asleep on my lap and i dont want to move her, she's being a PITA recently. She's not happy doing anything and if we are doing something she wants our full attention :rotfl:

universal are sold on ebay and mothercare shops. think some boots do them as well
or a local pram shop. my nearest does loads of accessories....and has a very nice blue pushchair in the window that Kian really needs :rotfl:

First step towards potty training - managed to find some pants in 18-24 months... only 5 pairs though. I realise that is not going to be anywhere near enough to start with. Anyone with bigger kids, how many do you recommend? I'm thinking we will get through more than 5 in a day!

Just keep buying another pack until you stop running out.

Our local baby shop has a huge sale on. I got excited until i saw that a pink bumbo with no tray is reduced to £28.50 :eek:

Lilys one with a tray was £29.99 in Mothercare!

I keep meaning to find and bookmark this and haven't up to now. Thank you :A

My baby girl is hilarious, she's all about the beads today.

Edit: Jillie if someone's looking to come now they're unlikely to find accommodation that isn't prohibitively expensive, and all the table reservations are sold out. They'd need a midweek trip for sure, at the weekends you have to be on site by 10am to get into any of the tents. If you need any more information/insider tips shout up.

So yet again we lose someone from the thread for whatever reasons. I know nothing of the 'doubts' re MOTM's circumstances or any discussions re that fact. I take everyone on here as equals with differing values, opinions and circumstances.

Maybe this was what Tara was on about?

I even went back over the 80 pages when I was on holiday to find out what had been going on as there was no summary despite a request....

I'm sure someone posted a summary as I haven't kept up lately and when I searched my name it came up in a summary...

Here it is (albeit not very detailed):

Un-f'n-likely It's absolute chaos hotel-wise, friends of mine are staying on a campsite because there is no room here with the three already staying and there are no hotels. Tell your numpty customer to book for next year right about now and start thinking about table reservations in March or April.

That is interesting EA. Apparently Mary Tudor had a phantom pregnancy that lasted the whole nine months.

I thought that turned out to be cancer?
