    SIL has rang Wigan Supercentre - its a no there.
    But Skelmersdale Asda (10 miles away) which is a normal supermarket have them, 6 boxes per customer allowed. So we are off there tonight as she is car less due to working OH.

    So maz if your local is a Supercentre i'd go for the Living Store.

    God this is confusing.........

    Mmm now I am confused... might try the normal Asda first as they are 24hrs and then pop to the other one tomorrow if I get a chance,... I stocked up on Pampers AFit ones when Tesco had the BOGOF offer but its the Baby Dry ones I need and I dont think they do these in Mega boxes....but still have Boots 2 for £14 on Economy packs..... Can you tell I know where all the latest deals are :rotfl::rotfl:

    Just got back from Asda Trafford Park (superstore)

    They have the huggies nappies for £5.50
    The Pampers nappies for £6
    The Hauck buggy for £12.50
    The Graco highchair for £20
    The lindam babygate for £15 (was it already that price?)

    I tried T in the highchair but he looked quite reclined in it and was quite a long way from the tray (as some of you said) so I'm going to stick with the antilop

    Against all advice I bought the hauck pushchair - I figured for £12.50 I couldnt go too far wrong! (i'll update after DH puts it together tho!) I'd walked down coz the car's having some work done on it (after I scratched it pulling onto the drive while pregnant :o) and had to walk all the way back (half hour walk!!) with the big box across the handlebars of the pram, supporting with one arm! I'm wrecked now lol

  • Does it help if I say this is the store I went to?


    Edit - Maz it was green ones that I bought. I figured at that price he would have to walk like a cowboy for a while!!!

    Redstar - Freddie looks soooo cute in his bouncer. Amelie is a little sweetie too - she looks like you from your fb pics I think.

    I'm debating what to do about a bouncer for T. I know he'd love it coz he loves it when we bounce him on our knees and pushes down with his legs to kick off but both of our downstairs doors have a slight step so I don't think a door bouncer would work, altho I could maybe have one upstairs coz there's more rooms and that's generally where I need to do housework and tidying.

    I've also thought about a jumperoo or hop n pop. I'm put off the hop n pop as T is tall so I think he'd grow out of it quickly. Can anyone who's used them share there experiences please?

    Jumperoos are fab. Got mine for a bargain at £30 secondhand from netmums. And I am hoping that I will be able to sell it on for that (or more) when Alex has grown out of it. It has three different hight setting, so you move it up as they grow.

    Have no experience of door bouncers sorry, but they are obviously more portable and take up less room.

    ETA: Lovely photos red.

    Thank-you for your lovely comments about my 'babies'.
    Gill, sorry, I've only used the bouncer, I don't have any experience aside from that... I kind of think Amelie looks more like Dan, though I've been told that she looks like me - I guess it's quite hard to see yourself in your own children.
