I now have my beautiful mandarin luna, with all matching accessories!! AND i won a premaxx sling on ebay today, still in the box, used twice!! Got it for a bargain £20 inc p&p!! Just hope it suits us both to use!!

Off for Pizza Hut lunch with DH, DC's, my parents and sisters... I'm looking forward to filling myself with pizza!!!

Thanks for the new thread tink

We're just back from Purley Way shopping. Mothercare World was v disappointing. For starters the shop was a mess with stock left all over the floor. Limited range of buggies and when I went ot look for some maternity trousers, it was so messy and disorganised! Not inclined to go back I'm afraid!

I've still not seen anything that I like as much as the I'coo Targo but I can't seem to find anyone that stocks it or anyone that already has one. I've emailed their customer services and will have a look for some reviews in a minute.
LBOT - I think you were considering this one too. Do you know of anyone who has one or have you seen one?

Glask - v exciting that you've got your luna!

Diege - Not long to wait for MW now! It does seem to drag sometimes when waiting for appointments!

Hope everyone's having a good Sunday!

ooh good luck for sweep TINKS - at least you will find out what it feels like . You never know, tonight might be the night?
SES, our mc world is the same - an absolute tip with no-one around to help you when you need it. I really try to avoid the place if poss', which is easy as it's in the most inaccesible part of the region . Hope you get some luck with your pram research .

Evening,

We've just taken the side off DS1's cot. It is a proper little bed now. I feel a bit sad that he is growing up so quickly. We took him up to see it and he didn't want to come back downstairs.

I keep looking at the icoo targo on the website and the more I look, the more I like it!

Right I'd best be off and get tea. I was going to do pork chops with new potatoes and green beans but DH says he wants roast potatoes. He's suggested I can roast the new potatoes with their skins on... We'll see!

Hi Ses!

Dispappointing about trip to mothercare world. I thought that was the place to go and if we were closer I would have gone there myself. The Targo looks lovely though so I hope you can find somewhere it is stocked.

Astarte · 18/01/2009 18:41

Tink I think you asked if sweep would be painful. I would say at 40+4 it's unlikely to be.
Obviously we're not talking pleasant, I mean it's still m/w hand up your foof, but it shouldn't be too bad if you're nearly ready to labour spontaneously anyway.
Best thing about it though is at least you'll know what's happening to your cervix.
Have they spoken about an induction date Tink?
Have sex Tink!!

Ses good luck with the buggy search

I think I'll have to contact the m/w tomorrow as the haven't said when they'll be delivering my HB box and it's usually brought around at 37 weeks, which will be Tuesday

Pool should arrive tomorrow

I'm also very emotional Diege re: no.4 and coping, ready to burst into tears at the slightest bit of mess and chaos. I have told Dh not to look at me in case it's the wrong way

kayzr · 18/01/2009 20:15

DS1 is in his bed. We can't hear him running around so we think he has stayed in there. Please keep your fingers crossed for us.

moosma · 18/01/2009 22:53

Blimey you lot still type fast don't you! It's nice to see you all again, man that was a long MN break I took! Hopefully it shouldn't take me long to graduate, we've Goffed on 6 of the past 7 days (keeping up to Nat's standards!) and I've never had problems before, so keep your fingers crossed for me!

Quite a few babies already and some getting pretty close, this was certainly a lucky wagon!

moosma · 18/01/2009 22:56

Astarte, what's with the name change? I liked sorky! [stamps foot]

Kayz, good luck with the bed, it sounds like he's settled in already though so you don't need it!

Diege, how was the sickness this time? Please tell me it gets better each time?!

Tink, IME S&S does hurt if you're not ready but not if you are IYSWIM? I'd have thought that with all the niggles you've had you'll be ready to go!

kayzr · 18/01/2009 23:07

It is good to have you back Moos!!

GYoIsReallyHavingABaby · 19/01/2009 07:51

Morning All

Hope everyone had a good w/e.

TInk- good luck for the sweep

Woken up with really bad back ache today so down working MNing working quite early. But discovered that portland babies is on the tv! so enjoying some of that!

Hope the backache is a temporary thing
