    good morning,

    I hope you're all well.

    Sorry to just come on with a selfish favour :o

    But I wondered if anyone knows or has links about which makes of double buggies will fit in the boot of a 1.0 litre corsa club?


    Thanks loads in advance for any tips!

    Morning all, good to hear from you Beenie and Weezl....

    Dont even talk to me about painting...we have some lovely artwork from Henry on our cream walls!! Must take a couple of days off I think to decorate while boys in nursery.

    Question: What 'cream' do you use for midgey / gnat bites....William's spot have kinda progressed and look a bit like bites (need to check dog to eliminate flea bites :eek: but shouldnt be as upto date on all that sort of thing). My friend gave me some Benadryl Skin allergy cream and that has made them look less angry but not sure if its ok.. going to check with Chemist at lunchtime but wondered about yoru experiences?

    Morning. Not a great night here, Alfie woke up twice for feeds at 3am and 5am. He's been waking up for 1 feed again lately but 2 was hard. I really have to bow down to you ladies who are up regularly in the night, I honestly don't know how you do it.

    Lovely to see you Beenie :) Did you go to Michael McIntyre yet? We have stand by tickets for this Thursday

    (((Hugs))) Mel, Caz, Tia and Sugar

    Did I mention Alfie has managed to get himself up on all fours a couple of times? :eek: Don't think he's going to be crawling for a while yet but interesting to see him getting up like that.

    Got some cupcakes to make today and want to sort out the dining room as have someone coming here for a tasting tomorrow so want it nice and neat. Then going to mum's for dinner. Wonder what my grandparents will make of Alfie feeding himself and opssibly gagging on it?!
  • Morning :j.

    Had the best lie in we've had for ages here and didn't get up until gone 8am which was amazing!

    I have a student midwife popping round this morning to chat about doing some babysitting for us so fingers crossed she is lovely. Nothing else planned although I'll probably take Henry out for a wander later.

    Lovely to see both Beenie and Weezl on here this morning. I hope you are both well. Beenie- Amber is so beautiful in that picture. Weezl- I have no idea on double buggies but would love to hear about how your boys are doing.

    Maz- ouch for your boys injuries. Not sure on the gnat bites really, I just use a bit of calamine or sudocreme if I get any.

    Maz, Sudocrem's good for bites as well, isn't it? Molly isn't showing them, although I'm covered - seems she got the "unattractive to biting insects" gene from Daddy and I remain sole mosquito target :angry:

    I use cortisone cream on mine, but wouldn't on a baby.

    Hello :) My toddler has gone from hating baths to now loving them? I'm not complaining, but I don't know why he's suddently started loving them again! Yesterday he tried to climb into the bath (while i was running it) with his clothes still on lol. I put our names down for swimming again with surestart, I really hope we get a place soon now he seems to love water :)

    I'm currently counting down to the weekend now, can't wait to go away for the week. A week away from here and my lovely neighbours will be like heaven! :) I think Elliot will love it too this year. It is very MSE too as the caravan we're stopping in, is a friends so she's letting us have it for nothing this year :D I was feeling so down thinking we couldn't afford to go anywhere this year aswell. Someone is looking down and feeling sorry for me lol.

    Is the meet still going ahead? I'm still looking forward to that too.

    In Amber news, she's close to crawling i think, she's been getting on all fours and rocking, she just needs to figure out what to do with her legs! But she is very mobile anyway because she has some impressive manouveurs (sp?) while rolling that means she can get herself through any shaped gap :rotfl:.

    William is the same, he gets really upset with himself when he gets on all fours cos he doesnt know what to do next.... then he plops onto the floor and gets really annoyed unless he's on the laminate floor in the extension as he seems to be able to push himself backwards on that..right under Henrys table and chairs yesterday:rotfl::rotfl:

    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.

    Thanks, the shop is kinda far away, I am going to ring them again today, do you know if I ordered it online to be delievered to my house will they still fit it if I take it in? and if it doesnt fit the car (which I think it will) will they still do a refund?

    Weezl- I have no idea on double buggies but would love to hear about how your boys are doing.

    Hi gisi :)

    we are all well thank you, fergie's speaking is coming along much better at the moment so I am really relieved. HVs said 'if he doesn't have 6 words other than mummy and daddy by 18 months we'll look to refer you' but now he has 10 words excluding daddy, so I think they'll probably be happy enough :)

    Kessie is good too, still colic-like but not fully colicky for a couple of hours daily.

    Weaning was suggested as a method of helping him, but I'd rather wait if we can.

    How are you?
