    Aargh. Was going to buy the pushchair from bambino direct and now I have read all the reviews I'm really unsure, but they're so much cheaper than anywhere else :mad:
    I'm half tempted to try it as MBNA have always given us really good help on fraud and getting back money. Has anyone had experience with bambino direct?
    Personally, I always go for a site where I know there's a "real" shop I can get to if something goes wrong with bigger items. That way if there's a problem I can get a refund/replacement/part much more quickly and easily than if I have to faff about with sending it back.

    Ooh ff, love the pics and love that Rambo has attitude :D lol!
  • Advice appreciated please.

    I have lower backache and stomach ache. I can stand up, but get tired after a while. Trouble is, it hurts to sit down. Anyone else get this, and got any suggestions to help? Keep geting painful twinges too owowowowow

    I think I'm just generally tired, sore, and feeling sorry for myself. Feel free to tell me to get a grip :o

    Might see if I hav enough energy for a bath later, or if I'll go striaght to bed with a hotwater bottle on my back.
    If having different experiences, thoughts and ideas to you, or having an opinion that you don't understand, makes me a troll, then I am proud to be a 100% crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living Troll. :hello:

    Nah not going to tell you to get a grip, you are nearing the end of your pregnancy and it is bl00dy hard work. Everything hurts, your tired and probably feeling generally fed up and even a bit emotional. Just chill out as much as you can, have a bath and if you can't sit or stand lie down ;) and yeah the hot water bottle is probably a good idea.
