Don't trust your dh with a brand new buggy

[princesspeahead]

I bought a lovely brand new Mclaren buggy - bright red - really nice - about 2 weeks ago.
Last weekend my dh took my dd and ds2 to a christening in London while I stayed at home with ill and feverish ds1. Slung the buggy over his shoulder (did I mention it had a very useful shoulder strap?) and off he went.
Today I said to him "can you get that buggy out of the back of your car for me?" "I haven't got a buggy in the car." "Yes, you do, you took it to London last weekend".

Anyway turns out the idiot took ds out of the buggy, put him in the car, and drove off. Leaving said buggy on the pavement.

I'd never even pushed the bloody thing!

Hope it has a nice new home, wherever it is.

yeah, maybe, how old are your kids again cdo?

I have an addition COD, I can't help it, I love them, I want more babies so I can have more buggies (that is a joke BTW). Help me........

Cod, you would hate me. I always see new/different types of buggies and look at them and think I want one of them. If money was no object I would buy a new buggie every few months (or less)

Er perhaps I should learn to spell BUGGY first!

Lol everyone, especially ernest at me buying a quinny zapp! and hoping he wouldnt notice!

I had SUCH a funny call with him.
Me: "well, I'm standing here looking at a lovely new red buggy".
Him: "so, they still had a red one then?" (I had also ranted at him that they had stopped making the red one ). "How much did that cost you?"
Me: "actually.... nothing".
Him, starting to laugh:" Where was it?"
Me, laughing but speaking very fast: "In the nanny's car....but WHY where you so convinced you left it by the side of the road?"
Him "I don't know, I went to China the next day for god's sake, I couldn't remember what I'd done with the bloody thing"
Me: "But you were so SURE"
Him, triumphant: "OK, repeat after me, 'I am sorry for calling you a moronic idiot'"
Me (practically wetting myself laughing) "I'm sorry..."
Him "for calling you a moronic idiot"
Me "(gasping with hysterical laughter) "I'm sorry...."
Him "FOR CALLING YOU A MORONIC IDIOT"
Me (practically on the floor) "I'm sorry, I can't speak... I'll call you later"

I really almost wet myself it was so funny. God. The nanny thinks I am MAD

I don't know. I get fed up, its not about how I look or what they look like in them. It hacks me off when dh has them (I have a big pram as well) as he always manages to get them covered in muck which doesn't always clean off well. In 6 years with 2 kids I have had 5 prams!!

i'd still buy another one lol!!

but very funny.

pph - sounds like a script for a very funny sitcom!

Fimbo, this is only my 4th pram/buggy in almost 7 years with 3 kids, so it isn't as though I'm profligate with them or anything!! And one of them was killed by a friend I lent it to, so not my fault....

God my dh isn't going to let me forget this. It is almost up there with him moaning about a stomach ache for ages. I spent a little while being solicitous "poor you. probably constipation. here, have some all bran and dried figs" and then eventually got bored of it and gave him a snappy lecture along the lines of "you want to know about abdominal pain, you should try labour". Dear readers, he was operated on for acute appendicitis only hours later .
Funniest bit was when the doctor said to him "right, we have to operate immediately. what have you eaten in the last 12 hours?" He was a bit confused by the "all bran and dried figs" response.

Ah but it isn't your fault AT ALL. You were acting on information recieved at the time, by him. IE DOH I left the buggy on the side of teh road Now he is the one who should be apologising again to you as he made you look like an idiot, but it was still his fault whether the buggy has been found or not.

Surely pph after however many years together you have learnt the basic fact of marriage, if it is his fault blame him, if it is your fault blame him until he admits it was his fault and if all else fails cry until he apoligises for making you cry

LOL at the appendicitis PPH - you do tell things in such a funny way . Sorry my comments about Buggies were part of a hi-jacked conversation between me and Coddy!

Very funny thread - glad you are reunited with your buggy, pph. I have the red Triumph too and I love it.

Coddy, you're a mystery to me - I love pushing my buggy, I will be really sad when ds2 doesn't need it any more. Doesn't everyone love buggies and drool over new designs? I like that Micralite a lot - never had a 3 wheeler and guess I never will
