Thread II.......Oh dear

I think I would try the long ones! Worst is they don't fit and you swap them. But wasn't there a Hoo haa about handles falling off because people didn't swap the retaining screws for the long ones?

OuchFriggingBludger · 12/07/2011 19:48

oh god...clearly IGNORE ME!

guildford knows best!Grin

Guildfordnanny · 12/07/2011 20:08

Gosh I don't but I would start with the longest first lol If they don't fit then swap! I can't remember what I used where and the instructions don't give sizes!

aswellasyou · 12/07/2011 20:13

Done it! Smile I used the long ones and they fitted perfectly. I can't wait to try it out! My Mum should be here soon to stay for the night so I'll try it in her boot if she hasn't got it full of stuff. I've told her to prepare to tell me off-I feel like a naughty child!Grin

Guildfordnanny · 12/07/2011 20:23

Well done for making the only DIY pushchair I have seen without instructions! It took me long enough with them! I put the basket on upside down Blush Did you arrange for your mum to stay before or after you bought the Contours Wink???

OuchFriggingBludger · 12/07/2011 20:26
Grin im so glad its up i hope it fits!!
aswellasyou · 12/07/2011 20:31

She just stays as and when she feels like it! I don't mind too much but I tell her to go home when she's irritating me.Wink It doesn't seem too big when compared to the Powertwin.

I just can't decide what color Bumbleride Flite to get...

Ruby is good as it's been reduced by $50, is a unisex color for future selling power and my black and white footmuff would be fine.

Lava is great as it's black and grey so won't show the dirt so much plus footmuff would be fine...It has $10 off.

Vita is pink and grey so only half the baby population could buy it...It's full price but DD has never had a pinky buggy before, it's not chavvy pink...Footmuff wouldn't match.

What should i buy???

suzie38 · 12/07/2011 21:55

And on that Alibaba site there's quite a few sellers in the Far East, and they state the minimum buy...One buggy you have to buy a minimum of 1000!!! They only cost up to $17 each...What a bargain!!! You could use a new one every day Wink Smile

Guildfordnanny · 12/07/2011 22:01

Lol I don't quite know what to make of Alibaba...I used it to hunt for a Taga seat but it all seemed incredibly dodgy....and hubby laughed at the thought of using them...I don't know how you can tie the people up to reputable companies...I get the feeling some people use other companies plucked randomly to give an address and number. One for the Orbits is a fabrication company!!

aswellasyou · 12/07/2011 22:07

My Mum has only just arrived-I think she's been on a secret date.Hmm And when I said I was going out to try the pushchair in the boot, she told me it was full so I'll have to do it another day. I want to do it now!!! I also wanted to push it around the car park a bit for fun.Blush

aswellasyou · 12/07/2011 22:15

That alibabaa is so weird.ConfusedHmm

OuchFriggingBludger · 12/07/2011 22:18

awhhh,poor aswellas....have a little push about tomorrow instead,then you can put you DDin it too.

when i was packing it up DD started yelling
"nooooooo,thats my buggy,NOOO!!!I WANT TO SEEEEE ARLOOOOO!!!!"

she never usually cares,so it must be cool,she's okay though,i showed her the mima,she was verrr impressed Grin

suzie38 · 12/07/2011 22:22

Robyn gets impressed with some of the pushchairs/toys i show her on eBay...She loved the Little Tikes Grand Maison and she loves it now it's here...I wonder if she realises it's the same one???

aswellasyou · 12/07/2011 22:26

Oh Skye!Sad I hope the babies appreciate it as much! I'm going to make Saoirse come round asap tomorrow so we can go for a pointless walk or I'll make it into a shopping trolley and go to the supermarket. Grin How are you getting the Mima to you? You didn't agree to the expensive neighbour did you?!

saoirse86 · 12/07/2011 22:31

Surely anyone who has a spare 4 hours to take their neigbours pushchair to hampshire has got be a weirdo! Please don't say that's what's happening frigg! Confused

Aswell I am not getting up early to play with the pushchair, you'll have to wait! And as if you thought mum's boot would be emtpy enough for it. Shock

OuchFriggingBludger · 12/07/2011 22:36

oh god you've got me all freaked out now!!!

i agreed,but for much less money!!

shit.im going to have to make sure the house is full of back-up friends,arent i!!

aswellasyou · 12/07/2011 22:46

Frigg, you'll have to come and tell us you're still alive after delivery tomorrow!Grin
Saoirse, you should be in bed so you can come over early. By 'early', I mean before 1pm like you usually turn up at.

OuchFriggingBludger · 12/07/2011 22:48

it's thusday aswellas...but i'll be online....i'll tell you when he arrives,and if i dont come back within 10 mins CALL THE POLICE!!

Grin
HoneyNorwegianRidgebackdragon · 12/07/2011 22:54

I sold my Pliko as cash on collection and two huuuuuge no english speaking slovakians turned up to collect.......all I had to protect me was a thick as pigshit Labrador Grin

aswellasyou · 12/07/2011 22:55

GrinOk. I've even got your address on the box for the Contours so I'll send the police straight away! Watch out for him wanting the toilet-he might steal your hand towel!!!

aswellasyou · 12/07/2011 22:57

Honey!Shock I wouldn't know what to think. Why would two massive Slovakians want a Pliko?HmmGrin

HoneyNorwegianRidgebackdragon · 12/07/2011 23:16

They worked for the Lady that bought it! My dh hd to put up with me wittering for ages that I must have sold my Pliko to the Godmother of the Slovakian Mafia Grin, I'm glad my prams leave in good condition I didn't want a horses head in my bed! Shock

Guildfordnanny · 12/07/2011 23:27

Sorry but I am laughing my head off at this thread. It's mad lololol!! I hope you are ok tomorrow Frigg - Do you want to check in every 30 mins until they have safely gone so we know you are ok?
