Bloody phone sorry for the Echos

Think you'll struggle to find a pressure fit one. We couldn't get one for ds' bedroom doorway and that's smaller than normal doorways.

wotulookinat · 07/11/2008 10:58

Blackbird, the ones that I have on my lounge doorways can be adjusted so they go really narrow. We bought those ones originally for our flat where the doorways were really narrow. They are Lindam ones.

ToThrottleABlackBird · 07/11/2008 16:10

Wot, are they not screw fit though?
I bought a Lindam pressure fix one but it doesnt fit the bottom of the stairs.

wotulookinat · 07/11/2008 16:33

Yes they are screw fit. Wouldn't it have been helpful if I had read your post properly!!!
We never managed to find one for the top of our stairs. The only one that might have done the job is one of those roller blind type but they are mega-expensive so we didn't bother.
You could ask for advice on one of the forums here, in the products bit?

Phoenix · 07/11/2008 19:28

Lindam pressure fit ones don't fit on any of our doorways or bottom of stairs . We've got Lindam screw on one that's on Lewis' doorway and fits the bottom of our stairs too. They go really small

ToThrottleABlackBird · 07/11/2008 19:54

We cant hve screw in ones because the wall just crumbles

Think we will just have to stick to the travel gate and the faffing of tking it on and off all the time.

How is everyone? Seems to be getting really quiet again on here.

Phoenix · 09/11/2008 09:03

Have a good time Pizza . You'll have to use one of them ramp things for the kids where you just put the ball on the top and let it roll down

Friendlypizzaeater · 09/11/2008 09:27

Not advertising here but we've a photographer coming in on Wednesday from 12 to 6 (so dad/siblings could be there) to do photos in the party room, on a white background (like the ventura ones), he will take about 40 photos (in 15 mins), you view the pics on a cd (in colour and black and white) and you can buy the cd copyright free for £45. They are from a studio in Elsecar, we've just had a photoshoot there and we're really pleased with the photos. I uploaded them all to Snapfish and had prints made of them for 5p each ! I had one enlarged to frame cost £1.20. Brilliant pressies for nan, aunts etc

If U R interested let me know and I'll book a slot

Phoenix · 09/11/2008 10:38

Is it the one at Elsecar Heritage Centre. We went to EHC the day before that studio opened and we were having a nose through the window and he called us in and had a chat with us about it and it did sound good. We keep saying we'll go get some pics done but we can't afford it yet

wotulookinat · 09/11/2008 15:09

Not for us, I'm afraid - I'm not keen on photos.

ToThrottleABlackBird · 09/11/2008 17:43

I'd love to get them done but we just cannot afford it.

Phoenix · 09/11/2008 18:01

Oh yeah apart from the lack of money it's the lack of liking my photo taken

Oooo Ds has just got out of the bath so running around naked and just as i was typing that he took his potty into the middle of the room and did a wee in it

ToThrottleABlackBird · 09/11/2008 18:05

Yay!! Well done little Phoenix!

Phoenix · 09/11/2008 18:27

It's probably a one off. He just won't go nappy free at all I don't even bother asking him now, just put a nappy on him. I know he'll get there eventually but it frustrates me cos i know he can do it.

I could really eat a kebab and cheesy chips tonight (fat cow ) but dh won't go for one. Can't get it delivered either cos no money I need to try to persuade him

wotulookinat · 09/11/2008 18:34

Mmm yummy!

ToThrottleABlackBird · 09/11/2008 18:36

I had a Kebab last night

hiccymapops · 10/11/2008 17:05

Hiya everyone

Hope everyone's okay.

How's your little ones Blackbird? And you?

wotulookinat · 10/11/2008 19:15

Hi Hiccy How are you ? How long have you got left?

hiccymapops · 10/11/2008 21:18

Hiya Wot I'm tired and swollen and tired and swollen I've got 4 weeks as of yesterday left. How's you?

wotulookinat · 10/11/2008 21:25

Cor it really has flown by! We're all fine.
Are you still up to going to CM? I was thinking about going Friday morning.

hiccymapops · 10/11/2008 21:30

The health visitor is coming on Friday, or i would've. I'm off to Funworld in the morning if you fancy coming? Ben had a bad morning there last week (some little b**r gave him a nosebleed! ) So i want to take him back and try and make sure he has a nicer time. If the little toerag's there again, i'll get him in the tunnel!

wotulookinat · 10/11/2008 21:37

Ooooh that reminds me - I didn't tell you all! We took Dennis to hospital last week with a suspected broken nose He ran into Jon's shin and his nose kind of exploded blood everywhere The hospital said it might be broken, but was very bruised. It's now a kind of mustard yellow colour.
What happened to Ben's nose?
I've never been to Funworld and wouldn't mind giving it a go, but Dennis is at the childminders tomorrow
