Oooo look another one, do it do it MKG.

How many more do you need?

TillyScoutsmum · 26/06/2008 17:03

do it do it do it

Themasterandmargaritas · 26/06/2008 17:05

Never fear The Master is here.

MKG · 26/06/2008 17:08

Who is peeonthestick? How do I know someone isn't voting twice?

I don't know why everyone is so excitied it's going to be negative. Ok let me finish my drink, and wait a while and I'll do it in one hour so at 1:07 my time and 6:07 your time I'll do it.

Oh my God. My double buggy is a JUGGERNAUT! It seems a bit plastic-y after the Mountain Buggy, but it's quite light, so I suppose the plastic serves the purpose of keeping the weight down. The chassis seems sturdy, although two nuts have been broken in transit. The shop are getting replacements sent.

I think it looks extra huge because of the carrycot on it - it sticks out over the end of the chassis. It's the biggest carry cot I've ever seen on a buggy. Will definitely last 6 months! I got about 2 out of the MB one.

Only dodgy thing is the raincover, which is lame, lame, lame. Same kind of material as those plastic rain hoods that old ladies wear tied under their chin. I can foresee replacements being needed. Plus, it doesn't "fix" to anything, so will blow off in high wind. Will need to look into maybe getting two single covers to fit over the seats or something.

Otherwise it's great.

A has been moany, moany, moany all day. Dreadful. Keeps running around then falling on her bum and wailing like she's been slapped in the face, whereas normally she just gets up again. Have strapped her in her buggy in front of the telly with some toys. She's not best pleased, but at least she won't be falling over between now and the tea being ready.

Pinkjenny · 26/06/2008 17:09

Oh for the love of god woman!!! I am leaving work in twenty minutes.

No pressure though .

twelveyeargap · 26/06/2008 17:11

Ooh, x-posts will all the pee stick stuff. Do it MKG!

Themasterandmargaritas · 26/06/2008 17:12

Could you possibly do it before 7.40 my time, ie in about half and hour? I am going out then...

Pinkjenny · 26/06/2008 17:12

Right so since you said you needed 3 votes, we've had TYG, Tilly and Jam.

DO IT!!

TillyScoutsmum · 26/06/2008 17:13

6.07 ! That's a whole hour. Noooooooo

And whilst we're talking about being kept in suspense - isn't it about 3 weeks since fourlittlefeet was going reveal herself ?

PJ - Staffs meet up response very lame... Clearly no one wants to meet us

Maybe we can do it when LG&T comes to stay - then there'll be at least 3 of us

MKG · 26/06/2008 17:19

That a negative on my end.

Will wait for next week then. Of course now I would really like to know why I feel like I'm going throw up everyday.

Themasterandmargaritas · 26/06/2008 17:31

However its not over til its over. We will all wait with you til next week.

AprilMeadow · 26/06/2008 17:33

all ok everything but the mmr. will get another card come for that

TillyScoutsmum · 26/06/2008 17:38

MKG Maybe just a bit early (as you told us all before we nagged away at you )

MKG · 26/06/2008 17:43

Why all these ? It is what it is. It was too early and I knew better than to take it (although it was a faint negative (didn't put out for the clearblue digital) which mean that I think it's a negative that wants to be a positive). Well that $3.00 I'll never see again.

I may start a thread, "I had a faint negative, does that mean it wants to be positive?"

twelveyeargap · 26/06/2008 17:49

@ MKG. You have a wicked sense of humour in there.

JamInMyWellies · 26/06/2008 17:51

never mind you knew it was a bit early give it a go next week.

yes I was thinking that where is FLF she is being super secretive tis about time she revealed all.

Puppy training tonight this is the first time with the dog. Have just taken paracetamol in readiness for the barking onslaught and the throwing up in the car I have never know a dog to be car sick.

twelveyeargap · 26/06/2008 17:54

We had a dog once, that used to get car sick. That sounds really odd. I'm not an animal person at all. I can tolerate cats as well as they can tolerate me. My step-dad brought a puppy home one time. It was given away within about 6 months.

largeginandtonic · 26/06/2008 18:22

Aw MKG it aint over till the red lady comes... and Lollollol at you and the possible thread

TYG i want an actual picture of the new buggy please, carrycot complete If you would be so kind. Research purposes of course.
Plus i have not seen a recent pic of A for ages and want to see if she has bunches yet.

Jam good luck at puppy school, mum took all of our dogs and it was fantastic.

Oh fgs i am so hungry and the chinky is calling, i blame dh. I lifted out lovely prawns but cant be arsed. Have already made the kids chicken and peppers with onions and sweet potato covered in pesto and roasted. They had it with rice, it looked nice. They have all gobbled it and now i am out of enthusiasm.

SOH furtive posting...

MKG · 26/06/2008 18:48

LOL at the "red lady"! I'm gonna remember that one.

Lupins71 · 26/06/2008 19:05

Tanks LGT & TYG, TYG that buggy is hideous also I pretty much only do air tyres, cant stand the little ones, only my zapp gets away with them - when you were on about wheel distance and my quinny did you mean my buzz or freestyle? or are they the same, the freestyle does struggle rtound herein the tiny shops as its a "quaint" town

Will be back later to catch up, dd driving me nights so defo off to bed with her - I think she wants to live with my mother

twelveyeargap · 26/06/2008 19:44

I was talking about the Buzz. I forgot you were the Quinny Queen! The Freestyle is 69cm wide, so the double you're looking at is 7cm wider than the Freestyle. That should give you a better idea.

Incidentally you can get a buggy board specially for my neeewwww buggy. NOT that I will be needing one. Will be sleeping in separate room, preferably a separate building from DH until I get my coil put back in. Jaysis.

LG&T - Will wait until A is up tomorrow and get her to model the pram for you.

anneme · 26/06/2008 20:05

Blimey you lot - I only left two days ago and I've had about 5 pages to get through...I need a rest.
Sky - did you know Kiddicare has moved and is now a HUGE place just near the huge Tescos at Hampton - you could have a major shopping spree - watch out!
Lups - v pleased for you.

ShowOfHands · 26/06/2008 20:13

Ah all this talk of meet-ups. I might be able to do Staffs if I combine it with a visit to my Grandma's. AbbyLou and Creena are near enough too. That's a whopping 5 of us, so don't call it off just yet. KnockedUpInGosport, when are you heading to Norfolkio? You need to synchronise with PJ as I don't think she'll come alone. Probably afraid she'll either choke on the smell of patchouli or be forced at gunpoint to wear patchwork. Everybody knows I'm anti-guns, my weapon of choice is one of those sticks belonging to a morris dancer. Gives out a satisfying tinkle as you assail your opponent.

MKG, had I been able to hear you through the puschair coma I'd have voted Don't Test. Too early and a waste of $3. I'd have told you to buy a cake instead. Or whatever it is that Americans eat.

I'd love a dog. It'd be a friend for Mrs Trotter. I quite fancy an English cocker spaniel. DH might opt for being a dog handler eventually so we could have a ready-trained pooch. He's a whole week away from being let out on the streets. He'll officially be PCMrSOH, licence to patronise and eat doughnuts protect the Great British public. Aren't I doing well at keeping my anti-establishment sentiments under wraps?

Been for a smear today (spurred on by GinLady's experience). It wasn't the best fun I've had on a Thursday afternoon but a necessary evil. I do hope the non-preggo contingent have all had theirs too or I shall be stern with you.

Don't talk about injections, dd has hers soon and it makes me want to hurt the bad woman with the pointy jab stick. And I'm so pacifistic usually.

Cam, I can't call you TheMaster, it's all a bit Diary of O. How soon till I can call you 'PregnantWithThe4th'? It's going to happen, you all give each other ideas and before you know it, you're eyeing up your dh/ps with intent.

Me and TillyScout are going to form an exclusive ginger beer and anti-procreation clique.

Ooh rice pudding's cooked. It's good with gingerbread men crumbled into it, left arm first of course.

TillyScoutsmum · 26/06/2008 21:05

Yay !! We can be like the famous five and drink "lashings of ginger beer" and have a secret password...something like "don't come anywhere fecking near me unless you put something on the end of it, darling"
