All I can say right now is AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

I think I have the M&P Amelia cot too...

on another note

pregnancy descrimination in the workplace

Lippy, charley the problem is that you are doing his laundry.... Dh does his own!! I already think is unfair that I do most of the bed sheets and towels!

Lippy, it's got three balls that rotate around at the head and foot of the cot. Ours is white, but I think it also came in beach.

Hehe Lua, to have both of us doing the washing would be even more complicated!

I heard that stat on the radio this morning Uwila, didn't surprise me in the slightest tbh. Just need to do something about it

Lippy, Lua didn't say anything about him not doing your laundry as well.

Oo What a palava! I can feel another obsessive quest coming on (now I think I know what pram I'm getting

Wish I was going out for lunch today Lippy - what you having (as I'm sure you already know }

gosh you have to get your posts in quickly today!!

Dp can't figure out how to use his (simple) video player and he's had it 9 years - let alone the washing machine. He can't even set the alarm on his mobile phone fgs!

So, what pram Charley????

this one , it includes car seat so not as expensive as it might appear (a great deal less so than the Bugaboo!)

I just wish they did them in plain black - I'll get the titanium one I think.

Then I'll get one (or two) like yours later on should I ever need to go somewhere busy

Not sure it belongs in the economical category... but very nice. I like it. What color?

What car seat comes with it? Is it just a lie flat one, or does it include the sitting up, facing back variety. I just ask becau if your baby is anything like my DD, she/he will be happy lying down for about 2 weeks. No joke. She insisted on being reclined as we strolled through the shops at 2 bloody weeks old. A born shopper, I tell ya.

That's the great thing about this one - it's the only car seat on the market which is lie flat and sitty uppy, and has passed all safety tests with flying colours. It says it will last up to 18 months. Also it can face me, is excellent off road and apparently, because of the (lockable) swivel wheel had a very tight turning circle It also only weighs about 7kg

I think you can get them cheaper from other places - I'm going to shop around and I'm going for the greyish colourway. It's such a relief to have found something

Lippy's got one

Gosh - she wanted to sit up at 2 weeks . How could you tell?

That same way you tell everything at that age. She stopped crying and would. Strange child. They don't even have very good vision at the point. God knows what she was looking at. But she was happy, so we let her do it (but not for too long as it isn't advised because they haven't got muchin the way of back muscles to support themselves.

Yes, I like the Janes.

Gosh I go and do some work and the thread's gone mad with postings!!!

Charley/Mrs W - I only noticed coz my nether regions felt chilly with the air conditioning on!! 1st time i'd gone straight to my desk so only two people may have seen me...second time I went and made the drinks and did some photocopying on the other side of the office so at least eight people could have seen my not so pretty pantyhose and knickers

We got a cotbed with 3 positions for the base (no drop down sides) it worked fine for us with the 1st height for when he was newborn, the middle for once he was able to sit up (so he didn't topple out!) and the lowest level for once he was mobile. But I would say that if you have a bad back I'd go for a drop sider...putting a sleeping 1 year old into the cot on the lowest level is not easy at the best of times!

My dh also does the tissues in the pockets thing that are an absolute mare to get off the clothes again after washing...and a couple of times he's left £££'s in there - but I figure that serves him right for not emptying the pockets, he he he!

Uwila I also saw that item on the TV this morning, sadley it doesn't shock me as much as it ought to!

Nice pram by the way Charley...bit cheeky that they don't include the rain covers in the price tho...esp in England where raincovers are ever so slightly necessary !

Sorry Uwila, I misunderstood your message - didn?t mean to offend in any way, I promise?. Getting paid overtime must be nice. I?m a Shell girl. We do have an office in M/cr, but that?s coincidental. I?m home based myself.

Lipstick, I do sympathise. I could write an essay on my DH?s ?foibles?. When he takes his clothes off, they fall off him where he is standing, so you will literally see, socks inside shoes followed by jeans and a shirt on top. And some man-knickers scattered somewhere if I?m really lucky. Its like a human has disappeared and his clothes have just falled to the floor. He is good and washes my clothes as well. Its taken me about 12 years to get him to "READ THE LABEL". Bless them to bits

Falled? FALLED???

Oh god. I mean Fallen.

No offense taken, Jonah. Just thought I'd clarify for the 50 other people trying to follow the thread...

Another difference is that my company is American (where perks are few and far between) and your is European, where they are quite frankly rather abundant.

So, do you mind if I ask what you do at Shell? I'm amechanical engineer by education, and worked here as an ME for a while straight out of school. Then,I left the company for the internet boom. And returned a few years ago. I now work in Information Management (which is sort of IT, but not really).

Glad you like the Janes (pronounced Ha - ne btw) Uwila! I feel like I'm getting more for my (dp's!) money than the bugaboo Aw re dd communicating so young. Sometimes, I can't wait to get a baby of my own!

Oh No Tea!! Office colleagues can be so cruel can't they - I'm sure you brightened up their morning though . Sadly, there's always extras you have to buy with these travel systems. There are some bargains to be had on ebay though and I'm going to shop round. I hate not getting a bargain! I feel fully entitled to any dosh I find in dp's pockets, (or lying around anywhere actually!) He calls it my "squirrel" money and sometimes I can save up quite a lot

Jonahand Lua - you've got your other halves nicely trained in the washing dept. I couldn't even begin to hope for mine to the same - he'd ruin all his clothes then break the machine. He's got a complet block when it comes to domestic technology.

I agree I could never let dh do the washing - the concept of washing different colours separately is alien to him...as is apparent when I catch him trying to load the machine with whites, having not taken out all of the darks of the previous load ...although I do sometimes think he does this on purpose to make me do it rather than him!

My DH can just about manage the washing when he's asked (sorry 'nagged') to do it. Whether he'll ever get round to hanging it out is another matter.

Oh yes - ours can sit in the machine after washing for days before it would occur to him to take it out...without being prompted (sorry nagged!)
