    our dumping ground is the nursery atm as there is no permanent resident as yet, might have to find a space in the cot at some point.:o
    Ours was Alice's room until she went out of the cot. Then it became our room. I seem to be permanently trying to sort and get rid of stuff but it doesn't seem to be making much difference yet.

    I was the same as that! I think it helps with their speech if you talk about what you are doing as they are learning the names of items even if they can't say them. Even if I was doing something boring like cleaning the bathroom, I'd put Charlotte's bouncy chair in the doorway and give her a running commentary on what I was doing.
    Did you ever find yourself talking to her in the car and then realise she wasn't with you?

    Not read back yet but can I have some opinions please?

    I'm going to buy my petite star zia and I don't know whether to get red or sky blue

    I'm worried the blue would be too boyish for any subequent babies who might need to use it! I really really want the berry but it's £25 more so I'm being strong!

    ETA my footmuff is a purple graco one which may or may not fit! I guess it doesnt go too well with either really lol

    i love the berry too, not that i'm encouraging your spending........
  • Gill I wanted to get the Berry one, but it was out of stock when we got ours. I like the blue better - I would quite happily put Izzy in a blue buggy, but if that is something that would bother you then go for the red one :)

  • Poor Poppy was sick as a pig last night but thankfully she appears fine this morning. Jamie woke up too so they were both downstairs for an hour at 3am (while DH cleared the sick _pale_).

    Still woke up at their normal 7:30am though and neither want an afternoon nap!

    Hope all mummies and babies are well :)

  • Gill, not very MSE but I would probably pay for the berry....sorry! xx

    My Phil & Teds is blue and its been fine for both Poppy and Jamie but I knew that Jamie would be using it for longer as a single iyswim?

    LOL you're not helping.....you're all supposed to say "yes Gill it's very silly to spend an extra £25 just for a colour"....or "just think what you could buy for T with that instead".......I've text DH to see if he can be the voice of reason lol
