    Oh! In that case sure - I can recommend some nice hotels, although a lot of places jack up prices for summer.

    Lastminute.com has 4* rooms for £49 though...

    I think you probably should refund the postage because it was your mistake not hers. Not sure about return - I would offer to refund and hope she returns it without asking.

    Leila sounds adorable - should I start being worried that Molly is very verbal but with only a couple of identifiable meaning-sounds?
    I think Leila is probably more advanced than average. Molly sounds about similar to what Alice was at that age.

    It's in the Mamas and Papas factory shop here in Stoke. They also had a Luna down to £75 but it was the 'Orchid' one which is a purpelly pink. If it had been a green one I would have snapped it up LOL.

    What's up with the Oyster? You were so excited about getting one.
    Ooh, I love that colour Luna... Shame it doesn't rear face though...

    It's a number of things that start off as little niggles that eventually become just bloody irritating eventually...

    If you have it forward facing then you can't get to the side of the hood to unzip the sunshades... The funny suspension on the front wheels means sometimes when you go down a kerb you end up nearly tipping the pushchair because the wheels fold under themselves... The brakes jamming with sand on holiday seriously p!ssed me off because we spent 2 weeks not able to use it because they didn't work, and we had to wait for the shop to replace them... I just had to get the raincover replaced because D dared to use the velcro straps to hold it down and it completely came apart along both seams... The snack tray doesn't stay clipped in so a big kick from Caitlyn and it flies out... And the hood doesn't hang down neatly which is a really stupid reason but it bugs me so much...

    I think it has some good features but they're just not enough to stop me getting annoyed with the crappy parts... I just wish the maclaren rear faced because I do love it... Just like to see my baby...

    Still, in a few months I'll be pushing a double.... :eek:
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    :rotfl: But surely she was a girl. (As is/was your/her mums.)
