To bake or not to bake, that is the question...

Right, I should really go home now as I have stopped working and am just chatting to you guys!!!. Have a good evening everyone, might not be on too much tomorrow (I realised I said that today) as I do actually have loads of work to do!

Kay, you should have put a warning on that for Natalie

look at this and this

Nice pushchair Natalie. I'm impressed idn't think it would be possible for £150. I was wondering if it would be possible for £300 or if I was going to have to spend the best part of £500 . I'm not buying a double buggy Natalie so dont't worry (probably just jinxed myself to have twins now ).

Sorry started typing that and DH rang so didn't finish it for ages!! LOL

Oh god, the double buggies are back in the conversation.... I need saving, from you lot!!!

The four wheeled one got a good review, but she hasn't actually used it day to day yet... can't see it being that bad though!

I think the only other place is twoleftfeet, but unless you know someone who can get there to pick it up BB, I wouldn't bother. (Or if you fancy going to Bedford to pick it up yourself!)

Yes LL I am looking for one. I've found one I really really like.

Oreder? I mean order

YAY!!!!!
I feel all excited today and all I did was oreder some PG tests!!!

Kay will you be looking for a double buggy? I have a travel system already and dont know what to do baring in mind dd1 will be about 20 months when new lo is born (if all goes to plan that is, fingers crossed and everything else).

Oooh I really like that one,

Oh, they do a three wheeled system, but it has a car seat base instead of a carry cot, thought it would be good, but the seat doesn't turn round £150

My name is lardylumps I am 34 (if you tell anyone I will kill you) and I will be ttc my dc2 in 21 days when I finish my packet of pills...

Largeginandtonic 7 children wow you are an inspiration to all.... Lots of spring babies on the way...

Got one here for BB - is £20 more but you get the carry cot as well! Nice colour as well

LL Add yourself to here, I think it is more or less up to date... -ish

OK, have found this, don't worry they do different colours

I don't know too much about Chicco TBH, but I am passing on my avertion to Graco to you!! Obviously, th car seat you like would have be tried in the car, they are deffo not universal, and you are better going somewhere like Mothercare to see if it fits (even you have no intention of buying from Mothercare!) Make sure they fit it though.

My, well DH's neice, has a little boy, and she leaves his harness loose, like a buggy harness, the car seat is fitted correctly, but if they ever had an accident, the car seat is no good because he isn't strapped in properly. She won't listen to me, she says, "but he looks so uncomfortable strapped in so tightly", I don't think they are uncomfortable at all, and I think even if he was, better him being a little bit uncomfortable than dead. Anyway, that was my way of saying, don't leave the harness too lose!!

On with buggy search...!

hello everyone just been catching up with the posts. I am a bit confused as to when everyone is TTC, can someone elighten me . I am going to be ttc after i have finished the packed of pills i am on now. So in about 4 weeks time then.... he he he ha ha ha. Cant wait..... Need some energy first though,.

New preferably, Have seen a few nice graco's not adverse to them..dont like quinny's tho...

must dash see you all tomo..sort of x

Oooo have you gone??? Have a good night xxx

One more question BB, do want new or used?

Will be hard to find anything not Graco, for £160 with a car seat included. The decent (IMO decent equals safe) car seats are £100 upwards alone.

Rioght im off in a mo too

i will check in when poss tomo and expect buggy suggestions!! lol

Dunno how much ill be able to get on tomo cos dunno where boss is... but will defo be on at lunch

see y'all later x

Ok ok i have answered the list so suggestions please:

Do you need/want a travel system?
Yes/yes -saves cash on separate car seat
Do you do lots of town walking, country walking (off road), or bit's of both?
Some off road mainly town, maybe light accross grass, nothing heavy duty!
Do you use any public transport?
would be using busses v frequently/Daily
Do you have a big boot, or small boot?
DP will have average boot (rover)
Do you want it to last up to 3 years or will you buy a smaller stroller when baby is older? Doesnt have to last cld buy cheap stroller
Are you bothered about the weight of it?
has to be light enouogh to manourve on and off busses
Are you and DP similar heights?
yes
Do you want practical, or cool?!
Practical but not horrifically ugly
Do you need a big shopping basket?
yes please although not essential
Do you want matching footmuffs, changing bags etc.? it would be a plus
Budget? not more than £160 unless its spectacular or gorgeous
Would you prefer a bar handle or two single handles? (Never admit to a shop that you plan to put shopping bags on the two handles.....!!) not fussed
Would you rather it be in one piece, or are seperates better? separate pieces - separate carseat, etc
Does it need to stand alone when folded? yes please

Geordie, well there are several clamp on ones I know, Graco do one as do Chicco, but I assume there are probably more.

Not remotely though about dinner yet. Might make risotto, haven't had it for ages and I have some mushrooms to use up.
