Busy day had here lol missed out on the reduced nappies

We went to get a new car seat for E but the woman in mothercare didnt want to sell us one lol, she said we shouldnt get a new one yet for E, we like the Maxi Cosi Tobi

We ended up buying E a stroller for when we go to the lakes though as the graco takes up our whole boot, we got the obaby atlas sport, cos it lays flat still I wanted something he could lay down in to nap when we are walking around in the lakes http://www.kiddicare.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/productdisplayA_542+37_10751_-1_14601_59976_10001_14601

Heading back to catch up

Bruno - I took ibuprofen for my spd when I needed it. If you've not got a tame doctor around to give her permission, then I'm sure a couple tonight won't hurt. If she is getting achey often it is probably worth going to the doctor though, as she can get a referral to phiso - a pelvic girdle (which is what I had) or a "sling" to support bump might help her to be more comfy. - Edited to add that the physio would have look at what the problem actually is and see what would help... I'm not giving medical advice at all. ~whistles innocently~

Thanks Glam. He really has taken to it well, he just loves it and I'm amazed that he's actually getting some down too. We're all loving it in this house actually!

Can anyone tell me what that mat thing was called that was reduced from Argos the other week / month? It had grass printed on it. Stupidly I didn't get one at the time and now I'm thinking I NEED one!! Or if not, can anyone suggest a wipable large mat that I can use under the highchair? We have carpet in the dining room and living room and that plus baby eating is not a good combination.

Kindof that stroller looks great. I [strike] want [/strike] need a new pushchair.

SJ - we went to a fabric shop and bought a meter of floral pvc (they sell it for that kind of thing, honest!). I was tempted to buy more and make an ironic frock with it. I don't know if that would work out more expensive than just buying a mat though - I think it was about £5 a meter.

SJ - Morrisons do them - hung up in the baby aisle if I remember correctly - but TBH I found all the wiping really tedious and most of the time the mat was still sticky.

I used a king size duvet cover which I folded into quarters and put under the antilop. It meant that I could pick things up if he dropped them but also meant that I could shake it outside for the birds when he was done and fold it a different way if it was dirty. Then every so often I stuck it in the washing machine

A friend of mine used big square table cloths which she stuck in the wash each day.

I think Susan used an oilskin tablecloth.

SJ - I bought some of that waterproof table cloth on a roll from the range to put down for painting/messy play etc then it just folds up small out of the way - I think it was £2 ish. Love your new Fb pics he looks like hes loving his food

Sarah_Joanne

Thanks very much ladies. I actually have loads of bedding that doesn't fit our bed after upsizing so I might just do that.

Evening all..

SJ, we have some of these though I think they were from Asda/Tesco (definitely not online). Love the FB pics

:eek: and _pale_ at your cut finger, Bruno!

:hello: Glam Can you not txt OH's bunch? Or tell him to tell them, then it's his bluntness to blame if he doesn't say it tactfully?

We've been shoe shopping this afternoon. Rhys is a whopping 2F We have crawlers as Clarks don't do even cruisers in a size 2. Not quite sure what we're going to do when he's actually walking... Clarks smallest walkers are a size 3 and I'm not convinced he's going to have grown that big by the time he's walking! :cool:

I intend to use it for both babies too, i still think £41 is a lot of money. especially when rent is due soon
