SJ- my mum suggested using a duvet cover under the highchair, but I picked up a plastic sheet in the 99p shop and use that when I remember!

Kindof- was there a particular reason you wanted a new car seat or just fancied a change? H has just gone into his new one today and I must admit I do like only have to clip him in, not clip the seat into the car every time too.

We're hoping to pick up on of these tomorrow








£15 in Lidl

GISI, we have one from the range which is very similar, was £17.99 but a pine frame with just green and blue boxes. Goes with the other furniture a bit better!!

KOA, they are meant to be kept in rear facing car seats until they are around 9 months old as its much safer for them. "They" actually say to keep them rear facing until their head is taller than the back of the seat. Could you look into one of the seats that fits both rear and forward facing so you get a bit more of your moneys-worth?

SS - I love it:D like glam said I couldn't think of a good comeback at the time so I just stared at her and then walked off......Hopefully she felt stupid enough to realise it was not a great conversation starter;)

When I went to Mothercare she said 'they' say 9 months because in order to sit forward facing they have to be able to sit up properly using their back to support them and not just using their tummy muscles.
Kindof - I got the Britax First Class Plus which is great and had it turned around a month or 2 back.

OMG forgot to say......I was in Asda yesterday and some woman was stood next to me as we were getting cakes, she turned to me and rudely said "I take it 4th time was lucky eh?" I was in total shock, how rude to say that to someone....

That is so rude! Not as bad at all but reminded me that today when I was in the queue in a shop the old lady in front turned round to see Alfie sleeping in his pushchair and said "Oh, they're lovely when they're sleeping aren't they" to which I replied, "Yes, and he is also lovely when he's awake" :D

That's the car seat we've got too Glam!

Hugs Caz, I don't really know what else to say but we are here when you want to chat x x

Mel- how unspeakably rude :mad:. I don't think I would have known what to say either, except maybe asking her if she was for real.

So DH has a habit of taking photos of really !!!!!! things all the time, including every time we go over the Forth road bridge he takes pictures of the rail bridge. I usually put on the wipers or buzz the windows up and down to make it hard from him, and it's a runnign joke that the pics are totally boring, and pointless. It's not like we're going to put pictures of the bridge in an album or anything! So anyway this time I encouraged him to take some on the way up, then on the way back I encouraged him to take some of the "view" some of the way down, then I took some of the bridge on the way back too, with the intention of putting them all on fb and tagging him in them when we got back. I did this today so if anyone has seen the album from Scotland, and was thinking "what a loser with all these !!!!!! pictures", this will hopefully explain it!!

Sorry if you've read all that and not seen the album as it's 2 minutes of your life you'll never get back lol

Ah, it was ds3 that was poorly...he is starting to get better but appears to also have a sore throat:( I have had no voice all day, well I managed a croaky shouting match with dh earlier!! Which has made my throat worse:(

Dh isn't poorly, but he will be divorced if he carries on the way he is lately.

Mel - I would have replied 'No- Ive been lucky all 4 of my children are healthy!!! daft bint!

SJ your post reminded me of my MIL who said ' bet you cant wait for her to go to nursery and get some peace!!!!!' I was so mad I just replied' No actually I am dreading her going as I love having her at home with me' What makes it worse is that I never thought I would have any more children after a 14 yr age gap and Lo will be my last so I am treasuring every single moment I have with her!

On the subject of people saying inconsiderate things, I took H to my grandparents yesterday. He was whinging a bit before lunch, which is quite unlike him but he was hungry as it was lunch time. My grandad told me that he was probably crying because he was upset that I had left him all day the day before while I was at work :mad:. Yeah, thanks for that. That's a really helpful thing to say:p!

SJ- thanks for your photo explanation . I'm off to have a look.
