@candytuft63

Dear Kirstie, are you a Mnetter ?

Yes, since 2008 I think - I am obsessed by finding the right pram, no-one has got it completely right yet, but I think that Mamas & Papas 8 in 1 or whatever it's called is nearly there. Sadly I have no-one who needs a pram now but my sister's having a baby in the Summer so I will be able the scout the market, which has moved on since my little one was born.

Thank you for answering my question Kirstie. I hope you carry on doing the craft programmes!

MrsCobbit · 28/03/2012 13:29

Thanks Kirstie, "a hard choose" indeed - made a little easier by the fact that DS3 is now 5 Grin

iseenodust · 28/03/2012 13:30

Just to say love the programmes.

Is there any county of the UK you've not covered house hunting that you would like to see?

KirstieAllsopp · 28/03/2012 13:31

@CupcakesAndBunting

Hello Kirstie.

I am making it my life's work to stalk you around the internet asking you where you got your lovely yellow shirt dress with the dark blue polka dots. I am guessing that you didn't see my Tweets about it, yes that's definitely it. Wink What price would you be willing to let it go for? Are there any of my own dresses that you'd like to dress-swap?

Tucker by Gaby Basora, she's a New York designer but they do sell her dresses at various UK boutiques and online It's called The Dress by Tucker and I have masses of them in different patterns, they are great for work where always have a microphone and pack under our clothes. I also where a lot of S. Sung Audrey Dresses. hope that helps.

@LineRunner

I want you to know that I am still waiting in for my furniture, and have been from 7am.

Should have gone to @BandQ!! x

It's from Homebase!

Hi Kirstie, Can I ask you about your thoughts on propery in Wokingham? We have a house there and love the area but are currently renting it out as we are overseas.

MarthasHarbour · 28/03/2012 13:35

she snubbed me!

what am i going to wear now that KA has not given me valuable fashion advice?

MerryMarigold · 28/03/2012 13:36

oooh, cupcakes, it was worth changing your name!

@RachelMumsnet

Thanks so much for joining us this afternoon Kirstie - and how exciting to hear you're a mumsnetter - do come back to scout for new buggies as our spanking new reviews area will be up and running soon. Thanks to everyone for joining the webchat.

My pleasure, it's been great fun, lots of really interesting questions, I wish I had more time. I was worried, sometimes you look on Mumsnet and the threads can be a bit scary, but as I am always honest about my views I therefore have to engage and accept crtitiscism. Hope to be invited back, Thank you very much - Now I'm off to the Ideal Home Show for a Jubilee craft talk in the B&Q How To Theatre - No peace for the wicked!

MarthasHarbour · 28/03/2012 14:07

SardineQueen · 28/03/2012 14:31

Kirstie is a pram hum?

Who knew Shock

BobblyGussets · 28/03/2012 16:13

Oh well.

Did anyone else notice all the B&Q plugs? Hmm. Bit shameless really.

LineRunner · 28/03/2012 16:33

I went with Homebase because it was the best value. (Still waiting in for it to actually be delivered - but I have made about 50 meals in the meantime. Been quite relaxing in an odd way.) Grin

MerryMarigold · 28/03/2012 17:12

Bobby, I think she must have been getting a sum per mention!!

LineRunner · 28/03/2012 17:15

I also wrote 3,000 words of a project report. Just saying. I'm not all maple, meals and MN.

Auntiestablishment · 28/03/2012 19:13

Took me ages to work out was BandQ was - I thought it was a band.

coolascucumber · 28/03/2012 19:34

Too much with the Band Q. And she didn't answer my question about Phil's dodgy coat. It's got a velvet collar ffs!

Goawaybob · 28/03/2012 19:54

I saw Phil on the beach last year - he's got great legs!
