    Zag, these drives come up on HUKD all the time. There's a 1tb USB 3 drive for £43. Would that suit?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    We have been out looking at cars today. We may get a new one so will need to order soon if so. We looked at a ford focus, a bmax and a golf. Then we went to mothercare and looked at something called a bugaboo donkey. I folded it up and looked at how big it was then crossed the ford focus, b-max and golf off the list of cars we could get!

    I think we might need an estate. We also need another reception room in our house to keep a double buggy in.

    How long do you plan to keep the car?

    You need to think about room for collecting friends to play etc too, so room for three ( or four, its really likely they will have different chums) car seats etc not two in just a few short years by nursery, when collecting or dropping off said friend/s on which ever end of the day you do the run. ( or do parents do both runs more often nowadays with the seat thing?)

    I've just seen that chewy's buggy costs £1200. That's crazy.

    Look on facebook groups, loads of people selling off their baby stuff really cheap.

    But I bet there's a "pecking order" of who will speak to you, who will invite you round, who will be seen speaking to you, who will be seen socialising with you ..... solely based on your buggy.

    I'd be lonely.

    I'd be getting all stuff like that second hand and not from within family.

    One good thing about having a "building regs downstairs disabled friendly loo" is it's plenty big enough to take the entire clothes drier and still be able to use the loo!

    It's ludicrous. The actual one they were trying to sell us was £1,350. I only wanted to see how big they were when they folded up. Whatever we get it won't be that as (a) it wasn't second hand and (b) the chances of ever getting it through a door way appear negligible.

    My suggestion to OH was to buy two second hand mclaren things for £30 each and wire them together. She was not impressed.

    I wouldn't rush, when they are very little they could share a pram.

    Tell her - you don't need to impress her now. You're married and she's up the duff, so she's not going anywhere .... then whistle and stroll off. Once round a corner..... run like FARQ!!!
