The carry cot will face me. The forward facing seat was a necessary sacrifice to get a push chair that I can run off road with and is light enough for me to get on and off trains and up and down 3 floors of flats!

oh i suppose you can be let off then:rolleyes:

Are you sure? Wouldn't want to be doing the wrong thing now:p

Speaking of running - how are you getting on with it? Still running in the dark?:rotfl:

The carrycot facing you then it facing away then it's older is quite good - as they get older they get more interested in things around them. I think it looks rather funky, had a look at some changing bags earlier (was thinking of gift for pal) and they were lovely but about £200! things have changed since I was at pregnant - knowing me I would have felt compelled to buy one!

I would have been too re DFW, and the temptation is still there a little...

I didn't have a changing bag just a really nice ruck sack that fitted on the prams handles.

Morning,

Finally relocated boots parent club vouchers so will be going to pick up my free changing bag with a pack of newborn pampers. Plan is to use disposables for a couple weeks or so until the frequency of changes reduces (I am NOT washing up to 12 nappies a day:eek: the flat would look like a chinese laundry!) then go to reusables so the newborn ones will be handy.

Hubbles wants to get the bag that goes with the pram but we'll see what this freebie looks like before spending anything;) :A

Phew, got through a LOOOOOOt of material on the study front although weekend hasn't been as productive as it could have been...

Hubbles is pushing on with transforming the spare tip into a room fit for a prince(ss), we've ordered a sofabed so Mum and Dad have somewhere to sleep when they visit (so far we've taken blow-up mattresses and given them our bed but I won't be comfortable with that at Xmas) and a small computer desk to move the PC to the sitting room. Went through Quidco so hopefully about £2.50 will track and pay out:A (Argos doesn't have a good track record but worth taking a punt. If it tracks its better in our pockets, if it doesn't, we aren't any worse offf than we would have been without Quidco)

I'm in the process of packing up the clothes I won't be wearing between now and going back to work to get a bit of additional cupboard space for Hubbles' work suits in our room and then Bean will have a wee bit of cupboard space in the baby room.

Looking forward to getting exam out of the way so I can really concentrate on baby things instead of feeling guilty about not spending every spare second with my nose in tax legislation...
