    I was properly horrified. It was covered in sick and dirt too, bleugh.

    I thought as they had been conscientious enough to keep the box that it might have been looked after, guess not!

    It has cleaned up wonderfully though.

    I can't believe they.didnt clean it :mad: especially because they knew a BABY would be sitting in it. Some people are so lazy!!

    Morning all, good nights for everyone? Not sure if George is going through the infamous 4 month sleep regression or what but he was up at 10.30, crying which isn't like him in the night, then rustling and generally unsettled for ages, up at 4 and just as I was getting back to sleep after that one he did a huge poop so had to change him. And we've been up since 6. Shattered doesn't even come close. Got work to do today too :(

    Oh and eugh at the mucky jumperoo! Thats so lazy of the seller!

    :eek: at the jumperoo Poo !!

    Lindam stair gates - err we have 3 on the go as we have Dylan the dog during the week aswell as scott. They at fine we have the pressure metal bar type and also used extensions so we could divide up the hall way .

    Playpens - been using one for quite a while as alternative to bunging in jumperoo or highchair, we bought a secondhand mothercare playpen http://www.mothercare.com/Mothercare-Play-Pen-And-Room-Divider/229418,default,pd.html (oos sorry)
    which can be used as a room divider if you buy a seperate pack. It's out of stock but of you got one secondhand (with the kit to turn it in to a room divider as well !) that would do fine. We do not have a room divider kit but might have try to get one. The Cushion is nicely padded, we used it outside with the elc foam mats this summer. He has a supply of toys like the soft cubes etc and he is happy and safe but I do not leave him in for too long, you can bend it to the shape you need we have it as a rectangle. We paid either £35-40 secondhand .

    Mine's very similar to that Ro, but a Babydan instead of Mothercare. Managed to get it for £30 on a local Facebook group :) Not built it yet though as I need to Dettol it, I have a feeling it was stored in the shed as the box was damp. Normally I keep them, but that's gone straight in the recycling.

    We're going through a phase of 4am wakeups then feeding the rest of the night, seems to have been going on forever. I made sure he had 3 lots of puree yesterday and lots of playtime...still up at 4!

    I have a feeling though that once it's built, it'll take up my entire living room..means I'll not be able to put my exercise video on or my eldest use his kinect. Stupid small house! :(

    Morning

    Katiechoc - hugs for feeling so tired, Noah went through the sleep regression but it only lasted a couple of days. :o

    Aimless - hugs for stupid small house!! ;)

    Noah is asleep still but I have woken up with another headache :mad: just took some tablets so hopefully it will ease off before everyone gets up.

    I feel your pain - I think one of those playpens is probably bigger than our front room!

    Well after getting me up at 6 George has now been asleep for 2 hours! But atleast its given me chance to get some of my work done.

    I'm officially addicted to Ebay, my watchlist is nothing but pushchairs! Fingers crossed for me later on please ladies!
