Afternoon leddeez
Am sat with a cuppa and some homemade coffee cake.
It's a bit strong so I'll be buzzing in a minute.

farrahplus3 · 20/08/2009 16:11

my boy is 19months so hope i can get some use out of it as never knew how nice cam is to push, just need to clear out the rest to pay for it lol

carrielou2007 · 20/08/2009 16:36

Ooh, just replied on your ad but you are here

I had to wait an hour with a bursting bladder for my scan and it was very rushed. I asked about the sex saying I think it's a girl and she said yes I think you are right and turned to speak to me to ask if I wanted any photos. Then she said oh that looks like a boy and finished. I said well, is it a boy then and she said well yes, it looked like it. So now I am thinking about having a private scan as I was pretty much pushed out the door - grr!!!

buggylovinmummy · 20/08/2009 17:29

5in yes it is the BJCM raincover

buggylovinmummy · 20/08/2009 17:32

I had that at my scan carrielou, first they said they thought it was a girl, then a boy so i paid for a private gender scan. It was £75 but well worth it, with the one i had they guarenteed to find out the sex no matter how many scans it took, but they could see straight away on the first one with me.

5inthebed · 20/08/2009 17:40

Oh dear Carrie. If you really want to be sure, get a private one. Was everything ok other than that?

FlyMeToDunoon · 20/08/2009 18:07

Am quite on your behalf Carrielou.
Not very nice being treated as if you are on a conveyor belt.

carrielou2007 · 20/08/2009 18:32

I was really cross, there were two people before me, one took 40 mins, the next 20 mins and I went in at 3pm and my pics are timed at 3.06pm!! I even played the 'it's horrible running late, I remember when I used to run NHS clinics' card but nothing!!

Nearest place to me is 60 miles away but for me I do want to know so going to try to book for tomorrow or saturday.

She didn't actually tell me that everything was ok until I asked when she had her hand on my back literally pushing me out of the door!!!

FlyMeToDunoon · 20/08/2009 18:41

Did you get a report with the measurements and everything?
Does that have anything relevant on it?

horsemadgal · 20/08/2009 18:43

Aww carrielou how disappointing.
Ours aren't allowed to tell the sex, think they are scared of being sued if wrong!!

AvadaKedavra · 20/08/2009 18:44

I am in lust again, played with a Babystyle Oyster today, twas fabby, review here

someone hide my credit card please!!!

carrielou2007 · 20/08/2009 18:47

There is a report in my notes stating everything present etc and head, leg and something else measurement all just saying 20+5 (i.e. viability so far). Still looking for somewhere, I couldn't give a wotnot about boy or girl (just a healthy one will do me!!) but would like to know whether to get rid of stuff or not !!

FlyMeToDunoon · 20/08/2009 18:54

I would rather not join 'love that pram' right now thanks!

How about dowsing Carrielou?

AvadaKedavra · 20/08/2009 19:02

ok wasn't touting, jsut linking to save me typing it again fmtd.

mustsleep · 20/08/2009 19:04

Hi everyone well it's chucked it down here today, but had to take ds to docs as he is covered head to toe in a rash - but it's just a viral rash so all fine

I am sooooo stupid dyed my hair last sept for some strange reason to dark brown and no where will dye it back to my natural colour for me a year later so I decided to bleach it today lol and then dye it my natural colour....ooooppps the bottom looks fine and is actually the righ shade but the roots are sonic orange

I NEEED dh to get home and then get his arse to asda for me so I redye the roots a darker colour lol

horsemadgal · 20/08/2009 19:30

That looks really nice Avada.
Think FMTD would just get the sign in page though, she won't be able to see review unless a member.

FlyMeToDunoon · 20/08/2009 19:44

Yes I did.
lol
I did look at the site when SGK [I think] linked to it but I am not madly keen to join another forum [lazy cow]

5inthebed · 20/08/2009 19:52

AK, I saw the Oyster online a few weeks ago, I really want one, ticks all my boxes for a rear facing pram! No 2nd hand ones yet and don't want to pay all that money for one.

Carrie, I'd bill the NHS fr your private scan. How rude of them to treat you like that.

FlyMeToDunoon · 20/08/2009 20:00

Just googled it and yes it looks good.
Quite similar to First wheels and to a lesser extent the Infinity.
Does it just come in black and pearl?

5inthebed · 20/08/2009 20:37

Black with green or black with pink. Not keen on the pearl.

My dad is marvelous. He is going to sort the hood rods out and also the bent part of the hood. He works in some mechanical/metal business and is ging to make me some new ones . Will save me a few quid. Now, I had to cut the hood to get the broken plastic bit out, so how do I fix it again? Fabric glue or do I sew it?

BexieID · 20/08/2009 21:47

Hiya, had a sore tummy the last couple of days. Think it was the going out of date tuna sarnies I got at work on tuesday!

Today we got our new car (well not new new, iykwim). 2 years younger than the last one with half leather interior, loads of gizmos inc a glasses holder, lol.

LibrasBiscuitsOfFortune · 20/08/2009 21:53

Sorry to interupt but I heard a rumour someone might be selling a black and white buggysnuggle on here. If so I am interested.

Thank you all for your advice re:BJCM few weeks ago, love it (but think DS is a little more slumped than the Mac XLR).

For those who might remember I got a false positive preg test last month, well this month I got a positive positive pregnancy test.

Hope all well.

5inthebed · 20/08/2009 21:56

Hope you're ok now Bexie. Your new car sounds lovely. What make is it?

Not sure who is selling the snuggle Libra. Congratulations on your BFP! My ds was a little slumped in his BJCM, but I just reclined it a little bit and he was fine. How old is your DS?

FlyMeToDunoon · 20/08/2009 22:06

Congrats Libra!
Anyone help with these questions on my thread about homemade liners?

reallywoundup · 20/08/2009 22:17
