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

sorry :rotfl:

Gill I don't think the blue is boyish but I would go for the red because it'll hide stains better, being a bit darker, purple may go with the red as it looks like a blueish red IYKWIM

Ladybird, did you order some of the cous cous? I got some 'de identified' *cough* moribobs *cough* lemon and coriander from them last week, it was BBE June 2010 smells a bit artifical when you open the back but nice once made up, Edgar had a bit too, I think it needs a spot butter/oil adding though
I got one of these for hubby to try http://www.approvedfood.co.uk/PASTA_AND_NOODLES/Hotbox_Self_Heating_Ravioli_Stuffed_with_Vegetables_300g He said it was nice and he'd have it again and it really was nice and warm! they only have a kettle at his work so it was a nice change from his usual hot options of pot noodle or cous cous or luke warm soup in a flask

Sami - that's a good point about stains as I'm far too lazy to maintain and wash things lol hmmmm the berry one would hide stains well too wouldn't it?

I actually think it would be good to have a different colour one to my graco anyway so that I feel like I have a new pram....clutching at straws here!

Ps - Gill just think with £25 you could buy a fabulous funky footmuff don't go wasting it for a colour! :A or I wonder how much the cool cow print bag was that Aless has

PPS. do you think OH could heat a tim of soup/beans or a tupperware of similar with my one of THESE?

Gill I'd go with the red too. And have just answered your pm. Fairies will also check to see what else they have.

:rotfl:Going on my own past experience of compromising on my first choice I would always think 'should have bought the berry' when I used it...but maybe thats just me!

ETA: actually I do have the zia in red! I forget about it as it lives at my Mums and both have used it

Thanks WM, I've just replied

Sami - I don't see why not, as long as it was only things that are safe to eat hot or cold incase it didn't 'cook' them properly iyswim.

Just clearing my cookies to go through nectar and order the red one I only have £80 in amazon vouchers so it would be 'real money' I was spending to go above that so ordering the red

Mazcabs

Just had to leave work and pick up William as he had two bad nappies and was sick...she said he didnt eat much either and has been very quiet.... must just be there cos I've got him home and he is motoring around the floor squealing to himself !!!

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'm another who'd get the berry, I really wish I had instead of the black/white I got.

Would your purple muff (snigger) go with the berry?


Hope everyone is ok. Hugs, :mad:'s and :T where appropriate.

Glam In case you didn't get my text. Have you tried shoesforkids.co.uk. They do Clarks and others cheaper. You can search by size now he's been measured. They have quite a few Clarks little ones in stock, but it's dependant on if they have your size in the style you like.


I've come for a moan, V is asleep so there is nobody else for me to rant at.
Bl))dy stooopid ebay people.
My stuff that ended last week, one lady in Hungary sent me loads of messages asking about postage, more details etc etc, and finally won four items. She's now had her ebay account suspended. I looked at her feedback and all of them say promised payment which never arrived. Why bother bidding. :mad: Now i'll have to relist.

And, another stooopid woman wanting to return something. It's size 12-18 months old, as was stated in the listing. She wants to return it because it's too small for her 18 month old who's 'larger than average'. And that's my fault? :mad:

Yes Gill £25 can get you this. Which is what we have on Alex Red Babyjogger. Not that i'm advocating spending real money or anything.:D
