    congratulations MOTM!!!!

    Hope your OH is better soon Bruno

    MFD if your around i have been looking into your car seat for Charlie and all the reviews seem really good but i have read about kids sliding themselves down the seat? have you had this problem and do you think it would only happen with skinnier kids? i cannot find anywhere to test the seat out so would have to buy blind in the hope that the lack of straps would keep him in/safe/happier. i have spoke to the nursery today who are also going to look into the seat for me but would love your advice :D

    As for recent events on here you are all a fab lot and have been there when people have their ups and downs, i have had so much support and help from so many of you thats its kept me going! Everyone has differnt parenting styles and what works for one might not for another or even someone may not agree with that method. I love this site as there is always a few methods given out and you go with what suits you! If we were all the same and had exactly the same parenting styles we would be very boring and out kids would be all the same!
    i Dont think anyone should be leaving as i think everyones input and advice is valuble, even after 5 kids i ask your opinions!!!
    What's for you won't go past you

    I've not even taken it out of the packaging yet and as OH is currently doing the Jekyll and Hyde thing again, he won't be getting it any time soon. :rotfl:May put away for dare I say it Christmas...

    I noticed that on you FB. Hope he bucks his ideas up for you soon.

    Well done Alex!! :T

    Bruno sounds like your OH is having a rough time still but hope she is better when you check on her. Also hope you don't get too drenched in the park

    I need to find some food, I am starving!

    MOTM Congratulations :T That's really lovely news, I would have been very interested in an announcement on here. I hope the girls take the news well - i'm sure they will.

    Well done to commando crawling Alex. :T

    Lovely to see you popping in Glam.

    Thanks Sami I'm just looking at Emma Noble now - I didn't know she had an autistic child.


    The local radio got hold of 'them' and they've said that they can't comment at the moment as their is a refund dispute ongoing. Ongoing like they've not even bothered to reply to me yet!

    I'm not sure if I need to be looking at the legal route? How long should I give it for them to reply to me?

    There is so going to be a facebook page once this is sorted out. :p (thanks to whoever gave us that idea!)

    Not sure about how long to give it really 3, however if you do decide to go down that route (or even of you don't actually), lots of solicitors do free 30 minute advice slots. There's no rule to say you couldn't go to more than one solicitor though ;)

    I'm not sure how long really 3 but I reckon 48hrs is plenty of time for a business to respond to you, longer is just taking the P IMO

    not sure if it has already been said but is there an autistic society or similar charity you could contact too?
