Hardly a question to ask a load of women, but blades, moulded or screw in studs on football boots?

I believe it depends on the surface being played on?

btw for those who have lost a Sophie to ensure mk2 doesn't get lost we bought her a 'lead' from boots :cool:

re: Bizziebaby. I've had good value from them - pure luck I think. I am not allowed to sell anything on, but have passed the playmat to my nephew and the buggy onto a lovely little girl I know who is hoping to be a builder when she grows up

However, I got 'chased' (and not very politely) for my responses to the questionaires several times, when I had infact filled them in and replied immediately upon recieving the intial request and comments form. I had to explain this twice and re-send my comments, with initial emails for both the items I tested! I think that the office is bit overwhelmed at times. For that reason, we decided not to sign up again this year.

Also I saw what could be a nice gift idea to make yourself in costco t'other day
Choc chip cookies in a jar, the recipe was on the tag I thought you could maybe add a few cutters or a wooden spoon/rolling pin

I wrote a lengthy essay about how displeased I am with my sofa and its too many characters for ebay so I had to condense it down :eek:

Can I make any improvements here (using not very many characters, I have 102 left )

"Once the drivers left this morning I unwrapped the sofa & found:
Sofa seat cushions, both faulty - one has dark threads & loops visible by seams, other has a frayed fabric thread visible by seams.
Beige back cushions 2 faulty, 1 in transit - one sent back with driver, didn't match! Two have dark brown threads around zip and one also has a pull in the fabric. One is OK!
Brown back cushions 3 faulty - one has hole of 3cm not stitched around the zip, zip is also black; every other zip on the suite is beige, it doesn't match. One has holes where has been stitched, unstitched and restitched, other has rip by zip.
It is all very poor quality, more like factory seconds than new.
These faulty parts obviously need to be replaced, and I dont think it is unfair of me to request also a partial refund to compensate me for the stress and time I have had to take off work to wait in for this delivery."

ABC is not on this week cos of half term, I'd love to come and look at your lovely kitchen though,

It would have to be Wednesday morning (the monster in law is having the little one on Thursday so Me and Millie can go to the pictures) and I will have both girls with me?

Weds morning is fine by me. I won't have the floor done by then as I'm only getting the tiles tomorrow but the rest should be finished!

Both your lovely girsl are of course more than welcome.

Glad you told me about ABC. I'd have been upset at getting out of the house that early for nothing!

Millie's Mum and someone else who posted... was it Delain? you may want to rephrase your posts to say something like "anyone with a child/boy/girl of age xyrs may find something interesting on the Fairy FB group, if you don't know what the fairy group is, there is a link to join on the first page of the thread" you can never be too careful these days:cool:

I don't want to restart the whole discussion but my post was 'phrased' carefully and within the rules as they have been pointed out to us.

ETA SJ fine, wednesday morning it is (not too early!) I'm glad you mentioned it too, would have been awful if you'd made the effort!

emlou - just asking, but are you wanting the faulty parts changed, the whole thing removed and replaced, or throwing in the towel and want ll your money back if you return the sofa? decide then make your request very clear

Very impressive ladies. They are for Erin run in. The ground is very muddy and all the kids who did really well were wearing them. As a few hundred kids have already run on the course it's like a mud bath in places. She fell when she ran a couple of weeks ago but bless her still managed to catch up and do well. So they are I suppose for soft ground because if it hasn't been raining and the ground is hard she will wear trainers.
