Andrew is progressing up to his 3-6m clothing for his first birthday next week (but he's hardly an average baby!)

I can't believe Andrew is one next week! :eek:

I got a 2nd hand Petite Star Zia that I bought on Ebay yesterday, instead of our Hauck travel system which has been a nightmare. I'm loving how easy it is to steer but the only trouble I've had is that when she's in it (reclined) I can't put anything in the shopping basket and the pushchair feels too light to hang bags on handles, so I had to carry heavy shopping and try to push in a straight line at the same time! Does anybody have any shopping carrying tips for me?

The shopping basket is my only moan on the Zia - but I think it's more sturdy than it looks/feels and it can handle a couple of carrier bags on the handles.

Keely I love you new avvy. (Is it new or am I just not very observant?)

We're still in size 4 nappies at 18 months old. My friends lo doesn't look any different in size to V, but is in size 6 - her mum says she has a fat bum. :rotfl: I tried 4+ a couple of weeks back but the sticky tabs were too overlapping iykwim.

Tell me about it :eek: Where has that year gone? This time last year, I was sitting awkwardly thanks to a steroid jab in my bum

Just to join in the nappy convo - A is only just going up to 3-6m clothing, and he's been in size 3 nappies for a couple of weeks.

Yeah it's new

Elliot's in size 5 nappies at almost 2 years Currently loving huggies nappies, they fit his shape really well.

Whoever was asking about the Zia...during our treks around various airports, my rather heavy weekender bag lived on the handles of it (with Finn sitting in the seat) and it never tipped. It's pretty sturdy and weight-balanced for such a lightweight pram!!! The shopping basket IS crap, but I bought a great buggy basket thing off eBay (cow print ) that holds so much more and is great.

eta: I see it was you, Muso. The bag attaches onto the back so you can't use it when fully reclined, but you can recline it a bit. Your Zia may feel sturdier as H gains weight/age .

Heres a pic of Elliot testing his lovely towel from bizziebaby

On the subject of kids being starkers outside, i don't see a problem with it. You go to Spain and most of the kids their are running around in the nuddy, and half of them try and get in on your pics and no-one screams "perv, weirdo, p@edo" it's the media here, and people are easily led!

Keira wore one of my sisters bikinis in the paddling pool in my mums garden and decided the straps were itchy, so she went naked, I have pics of it, I'd not put the nekky ones on fb, but I don't see a problem with them being naked.

Keira has got a dusting of freckles over her cheeks like I get :rotfl: well cute, I do put SPF 50 on her chops but she tans dead quickly, doubt she'd ever burn, which is weird as I always thought she was a pasty milkbottle that would, but clearly she has taken after her dads skin (or maybe mine its only my nose that ever burns)

It honestly doesn't cross my mind about pervs and p@edos - in the nakedness sense etc, they are everywhere anyways, the media have people thinking there is one eyein your kid up with binnoculars :rotfl: There was just as many around back before Daily Wail made it into a pandemic and if you ask me, probably less pervs roaming the street these days because sadly, the internet will provide them with their jollys.

Evening all, not caught up properly but did spy some gorge pix . Hope everyone is well xx

Well day 2 of me staying at home whilst our patio is being done, it's almost finished, they are just coming back tomorrow to do the pointing as started peeping it down today. Well pleased with it and our dog is already loving stretching out on it . Can't wait to take T out there to play in his ball pit thing.

We are thinking T is close to crawling which I'm excited and scared about lol!!

I might hate you just a little bit.

(Does that mean you have to send all your bits/accessories you've already had back?)

SORRY I thought of you when i was on the phone to them lol, they said they will pick up the red items and replace them when they drop everything off. I usually get a text to say my order has been despatched but ive not had anything so who knows???

Is £80 mega cheap for a second hand Phil and Ted's with toddler seat? There's one on my local net mums and I am so tempted.

I would say it was cheap if its a sport but about right if its the older style. i did like the P&T but honestly prefer the Jane Powertwin

BM how did the interview go???

Erin is in 12-18 month clothes and she is 18 months and nowhere near big enough for the next size, she is a little chub but is usually in the size below her age group and always has been.

Cant believe Andrew is 1 next week!!!! did your documentary get aired yet?

Gym - she could have stayed in size 2 pampers for a while longer as they come up big than the nature care ones we normally as they were cutting into her thighs

Aless -yeay for Finns second tooth.

Kindof - can you see or feel Elliot's 2 nd tooth? Tahlie has a 3rd trying to come up top I think cos it feels hard but I can't get to it to see!

I cant see the tooth yet but his gum is raised and really red, so I think its coming

SS - I get that of OH as well, and I say to him many time, lets switch roles for a week then we'll see

Evening all..

I did start to catch up, but there were too many pages, and I want to go have a bath instead (I don't have a posh phone like some people to enable me to multi task MSE and bathtime ). I did get this far though

I was. I did more household jobs in the week after Alice was born than I did in two months before she was born. OH used to take time off from work to drive me to my midwife appointments which were 4-5 minutes walk away depending on how long it took to cross the road. He was even washing my hair for me. I am very grateful for the internet because it meant I could buy almost everything we needed for Alice online.

I'm not completely organised - I'm still short of five Christmas presents. I have got birthday presents for my brothers though. Last time it was their 21st birthday. I got OH to make some biscuits and then he made them birthday cards. He used felt tip pen to draw a picture of the biscuits he had made on the front - I was very embarrassed but fortunately they were both too polite to comment or complain.

This made me :rotfl:. I don't know why (other than I've not even THOUGHT of Christmas presents yet... I will start making lists soon and I thought I was early organised!

And i'm crossing my fingers for you too.

I've had a busy busy day today. Came home to a sleepy sleepy girl so she went to bed nice and early (but not before I got some lovely cuddles, and some cheeky time!). We were up at 5:30, and she didn't nap very well aparently, so not surprising she was tired. I'm hoping for a relative lie in, but that may be wishful thinking. As long as it is after 6am I don't mind too much!

I hope everyone else is ok!
