Still TTC, PPP and waiting to CCC - one down, and more than enough optimism to go around!

Right, so I can't start this thread using anything like..."Here we go ladies!"

So, will have to come up with something completely different....

How about Congratulations Kay!

Are you allowed mayo whilst pregnant? Or have I just made that up in my head?

(I take no notice of what you are and are not allowed, as long as I am happy with where whatever it is came from, i.e. I don't want food poisoning whether I am pregnant or not, so if I wouldn't have eaten it if I wasn't pregnant then I wouldn't touch it if I am pregnant IYKWIM?!)

kayzisexpecting · 08/04/2008 11:50

Yes as long as its not homemade. The mayo in jars from the supermarket is pasteurised.

YouCantTeuchThis · 08/04/2008 11:50

not homemade mayo, but jarred stuff is fine...something to do with uncooked/unpasteurised eggs methinks..

mmmmmm, new potatoes and mayo!!

I am trying to eat well...I didn't snack at all yesterday but had a couple of miniature heroes last night. Soup for lunch and chilli with rice for dinner.

I seem to ahve put on about 5lbs in the last few weeks alone...but then I have been drinking lots of wine

NatalieJane · 08/04/2008 11:55

Ahhh, told you I take no notice! LOL

Right back to the slog I suppose, I am making excuses to come back on here every now and then, something I want on eBay is due to finish in a couple of hours, so I keep checking to make sure no one has bid for it! They better not big it up, I'll cut their internet cables!!!

kayzisexpecting · 08/04/2008 12:12

I have found a double buggy I want on Ebay.

popcornprincess · 08/04/2008 12:14

send us the link K.

kayzisexpecting · 08/04/2008 12:16

Here I love it but dh says it wont fit through any doors.

NatalieJane · 08/04/2008 12:20

That pram looks OK for a twinny, but my god it is heavey!!! Have you seen the weight? And that's without kids in it as well!!!

kayzisexpecting · 08/04/2008 12:21

I know. But I love it! I want the kids to face me instead of facing out which they do instead of facing away.

MoosMa · 08/04/2008 12:21

It looks good Kay (not sure about the colour ) it does look quite wide though, does that one include the carrycot or would you have to buy it separately? [£££]

kayzisexpecting · 08/04/2008 12:22

The carrycot is separate. Its about half the price of ds's pram and thats including the carrycot.

I will be having it in blue.

MoosMa · 08/04/2008 12:23

15kgs!! I think my P&T weighs about 5 and that's heavy enough to push up hills with 2 lumpy DDs in!

NatalieJane · 08/04/2008 12:25

But what if you have a girl? I know girls can have blue, but I personally couldn't pass up the opportunity to have a pink thing!

kayzisexpecting · 08/04/2008 12:30

See I do like the P&T but I dont like the fact you cant really see the baby.

It will fit through the front door dh just went to measure it.

kayzisexpecting · 08/04/2008 12:31

Nat, you can get pink carry cots and seat so I can have 1 pink and 1 blue

YouCantTeuchThis · 08/04/2008 12:31

I refuse to discuss buggies...I am on my third for one child! It would be too easy for me to be drawn in and have one ordered before a bfp

Anyway I've been logisticising (!! )and have worked out the useless information that my last few cycles I have OV'd as follows:

CD14/28
CD19/33
CD19/33
CD14/28
CD17/31

As you were...

NatalieJane · 08/04/2008 12:33

How big is your town? I only ask because if it is anything like ours, we have trouble getting our buggy in and around the shops, but if you have a big town (with big doors!) and it will go through your front door, then go for it, if that's what you want.

I would try and get it from somewhere that accepts returns though, I think you will be surprised by how big and heavy it actually is in real life!

kayzisexpecting · 08/04/2008 12:38

We're going to go and have a look at it in Mothercare.

Can the baby go on the top of the P&T's?

NatalieJane · 08/04/2008 12:40

LOL Teuch I am the same, I start looking, and have the switch card at the ready before I know it, mind you I am the same with most things really!

It's good you can get different colours!

popcornprincess · 08/04/2008 12:42

I've seen a couple of people with this buggy in and around towna nd they seem to have no problems. Is there a website that has reviews?

kayzisexpecting · 08/04/2008 12:45

Yeah Mothercare has 2 reviews that both say its very good. I think we will definetly go to york this Saturday(despite the weather and go have a look) If we decide on the P&T we might buy it when we sell ds's pram and use it as a single pushchair.

NatalieJane · 08/04/2008 12:47

Ooooh I am glad I'm not the only one who buggy spies around town My DH says I can name almost every buggy within a 300m radius, I can't help it, and I do comment on it to DH quietly LOL

kayzisexpecting · 08/04/2008 12:51

I do it too. Especially as most people here have pink pushchairs. I am 1 of 3 people to have a boy where I work for the last 5 years and we've had a lot of Co-Op babies born!!

popcornprincess · 08/04/2008 12:52

Just found this:

Value for money 10/10
Overall value 9/10

Good Points
Easy to manoeuvre
Great colours
Not as expensive as the bugaboo

Bad Points
None. Any double stroller is not easy to lift, fold up and put away. Most people lock it up in their front porch anyway.

General Comments
I love the Firstwheels City Twin stroller. As I had read the previous review, I beg to differ about the difficulty of entering doors. I found that it exceeded my expectations of most doors. I have twins, and it is very practical light and easy to assemble. Most mistake it for a Bugaboo (which I find overrated anyway). I looked into a Bugaboo and would probably be paying 30 - 40% more than a Firstwheels for the same value. I love the adjustments of the handles, and I also love the simplicity of the design. The Bassinets are a little heavier than the original seats, but are very useful. GO get it.

popcornprincess · 08/04/2008 12:55

I'm so addicted to pushcahirs. I'm on nu,mber 5 and DD is not even 3 yet. I'm slowly getting my mum addicted too. If we go out,she will say 'ooh what buggy is that?' and I can always reel of the answer immediately.She has also been known to comment on the colour clash of the buggy and the childs clothes - I've taught her well!
