    CAFC - I would recommend one of these soothe and glow seahorses. I bought one for T as a 'moving into his big cot' present lol. If he's whingy when I put him down I turn it on and it seems to calm him and he's usually asleep by the time it finishes. He woke up needing a nappy change as we were going to bed at midnight last night so DH changed him. He normally needs a feed or to suck on mine or DH's little finger on the rare occasions that this happens but we put him into bed with 'Bubbles' and set him playing. He stopped thrashing and whinging straight away and starting patting and stroking Bubbles. He whinged when it finished playing so we set it off again and he was asleep before the second bar!

    DH is working tonight so I've had a ready meal :( T fell asleep in the car and is still asleep now so I got it in peace as well :) On my own for bath and bed duting tonight too. I think I've only bathed him 4 times since he's born :o (he has a bath every night but it;s DH's job!)

    So looks like I am going to have to go into the shop and get them to order it, do they do that?

    Husband is reading Molly a story and she is loving it. But I am feeling dreadful - as I was putting her down onto the floor earlier on she wriggled backwards and hit the ground head first :eek: she has a big red egg on the back and although she seems fine I feel awful.

    Kindof - yes they should do that, altho things have changed a little since I went on mat leave so maybe worth another phonecall just in case. Good that the other seat is 13kg tho at least you have something to fall back on, maybe you can leave it with your parents for when they have him, save you lugging the bigger one around.

    Well woman from Ebay has messaged back saying this..

    I know that the front tyres was a bit soft but that is because we had taken a bit of air out so the suspension was no so hard. I checked all tyres before I listed the pram and before you arrived and they where not punctured nor flat except the front one being a bit deflated. If the valve was broken upon collection the tyre would of been completely flat and I'm sure you would of said something before you went off. So on this occasion I will not be contributing £10 towards the inner tube as all was fine before it left the premises but we will meet you half way and refund you £5.

    I mean really its either faulty or not! The fact that she's meeting me half way says she knows its in wrong, anyhoo I suppose as I didnt say anything when I collected it Im stuck! its better than nothing tho, but am still thinking neutral feedback.

    By the way anyone know how I send my paypal details to her?

    Yeah she obviously knows! She can just do a partial refund if you paid by paypal, if not she can do it just from your email address

    Well my roast was nomnomnom. Just making stock now from this and another carcass that I had in the freezer and I'll use that and the rest of the meat to make risotto on Tuesday.

    Hugs, Mel.

    Somnium she clearly knows it was faulty but I'd take the partial refund and leave appropriate feedback.
