    Right, i need to blame some of you for something :p

    I have never been a prams person. Now after seeing all of the ones you have linked, i want an Icandy and/or a Joolz.

    And i cant, because if we have another baby we will need a double pram! *wails*
    you coulds get an icandy apple or peach, both can be turned into a double :p:D with the addition of the pip to turn the apple into the pear or the peach turns in to the peach blossom IIRC
    If you get your close gap I don't recommend the P&T but if you have a larger gap you MUST get one :D

    Caz - how did the powertwin work out? have you still got it? I really liked the look of it but I prob won't be able to wangle any new prams next time - boo hiss :(

    Congrats Piggers!! its_a_girl.gif

    I know expressing is a private thing but it is only really the same as drinking out of the same cup as someone else! As long as you clean it I can't see the problem.

    I had a cup split on my medela - I wonder if that has more to do with it?

    Benjamin naps in his cot when we are at home. He naps in a travel cot in the spare room at the CM's (now known as 'Benjamin's room' LOL)

    It has never been a problem putting him down in the day and him knowing it is naptime.

    I assume E has lots of different clues to let him know it is nighttime kindof (bath, bottle, sleepsuit, story or whatever) so they just get the idea that it is for a short sleep.

    Cool thanks :) I have been leaving E in his sleepsuits all day :o lol so I might start putting him in clothes again lol

    E is in a ratty mood today lol, and he's disovered a new game, lets throw the toy across the room and let mammy pick it up when I start crying and repeat*rolls eyes* lol

    :hello: again ... susan i had to go the boss came over to me so cut off before i got in trouble ...

    always the people without cars are meeting about 11am at new street station where most people get in and those with cars are going straight there as theres a car park ...

    jillie glad the christening went well ..

    lovely pics jm ..

    ermmm tired now ... been work and gym and now just waiting for dinner to cook x

    hi sm, thanks for the info but - as I thought - uncle's funeral is to be on Thursday. Oh well, the next meet.

    :mad: Just had an exasperating phone call with my brother - as he and his missus might have to travel separately to funeral / airport on consecutive days (they are on holiday from Friday) that's justification for not coming to funeral as it's a lot of travelling. Or at least that's what it sounded like to me! !!!!!!?! :mad: Rant over and back to the housework...

    I actually emailed her saying that I had a steriliser so there were no hygiene problems but she then admitted she didn't have it! It wasn't a problem as I knew mine would fit BUT the unmentioned lack of tubing is a big problem :mad::mad:

    I just did a search on ebay and that was cheapest - I'll check that one out now

    ETA it's £5.10 inc delivery so a bit cheaper and will come much quicker. I feel she should give me a partial refund to cover this as she specifically stated ALL accessories except funnel.

    yes deffo ask for a refund, you should gt it too as she basically lied in the listing (can't think of the proper fancy words for that right now :p)

    The powertwin is fantastic, it is very light to push and even Les will push it as he likes it! I cannot have the hood on the front as Charlie sees it as a game to remove it and hit people with it but its a small price to pay! the brake on the handle is great for going downhill as we have a huge hill on the school run and it helps to slow it down and saves your arms.

    Im peeed off with Kiddicare, my Stokke was to arrive today and now they are saying it will be the 16th before it is dispatched:mad::mad::mad: they are also having problems finding my order as the order number includes the Stokke but as the accessories have been delivered under that number they cannot work it out?
