Guys, if you were to get an umberealla fold (for minimal use) from marshall ward, which would you get?

I'm getting a 3 wheeler for all my waling, and a cheaper stroller for taking to my mums and buses,

which would you get (neutral of girly)

TIA x

maxybrown · 11/01/2010 12:34

I'd go neutral Dis as easier to sell. What 3 wheeler you got?

maxybrown · 11/01/2010 12:38

oh fab carrielou, what a fantatsic surprise!

carrielou2007 · 11/01/2010 12:45

dd started playgroup but only could go for one day last week (going again in a min) so that will pay for the first term then covers all what I paid for yesterday

pebbles79 · 11/01/2010 12:53

Bexie are you about? Are you still looking for a balance bike for Tom as they've got them for £15 in the Home Bargains shop in Clydebank!

maxybrown · 11/01/2010 13:33

agh, DS just fell down the stairs he hit every step I think I was right nxt to him too, but it happened so quickly was nothing I could do feel awful now.

nicolamumof3 · 11/01/2010 13:34

dis i'd get maclaren quest.

5inthebed · 11/01/2010 14:18

What a lovely surprise Carrie. At least you can buy some more accessories now

Might be able to buy myself a new pram the end of the month

lillypie · 11/01/2010 14:20

Oh maxy is he ok? It's soo scary when the do that!

carrielou2007 · 11/01/2010 14:21

Maxy that is why it is called an accident nothing you could do so scary but nothing you can do. How are you both??

Anyone know cheapest way to send a zapp?? Have got the 8 pound DHL but I remember some comapny you take the parcel in to be collected (hoping zapp small enough to be allowed) in some newagents, anyone heard of any??

janx · 11/01/2010 14:21

Afternoon ladies - how are you all doing? I just bought a coat for dd in gaps sale and a jumper for ds
No parcel from maxy
Sorry james had a fall - is he ok?

maxybrown · 11/01/2010 14:29

He seems better now thank you, he went completely white. I was shaking, I felt like I pushed him I didn't though honestly. I couldn't eat my lunch properly but he did and has perked up now. He already has a big bruise on his back from climbing last night and falling, it's right across the back of his ribs, looks terrible boys.....

Oh no Jan hopefully come soon....the big parcel was SP I think so will prob take bit longer. Esp with bloomin weather.

What sort of coats did they have in Gap Jan? I wanted to go and look, and try and get socks in next size up for james. Hoping to go out this week though, sooooooooooooo fed up. our paths here are terrible. Not even seen my Mum so going round the bend now!

carrielou2007 · 11/01/2010 14:37

Of course it's not your fault!! I collected dd from CM once and she was sat on the fifth or sixth stair would not come down, I lunged to grab her arm, she moved and tumbled down and my CM's ironing board was at the bottom - cue cut lip and lots of blood and tears from both of us!! I thought it was my fault but it was just an accident

Told dd's dad about my windfall and that it would pay for her first half term playgroup fees (288) thinking hint - hint, he said 'that's good then'. Grrrrrrr!!!

janx · 11/01/2010 15:05

I only looked at the girls coats tbh as Luka has 2 coats and an all in one. I got a nice girls one - navy with a inner detachable fleece and a nice furry hood. She really feels the cold - luka would go barefoot in the snow if he could - he loves it. I looked for some socks too as I love gap socks, but ran out of time - might go back tomorrow. Even though it is my money I felt like I might have to sneak my purchases past dp - daft

janx · 11/01/2010 15:07

My manager just sneaked up while I was posting that ......had to talk to her and pretend this was work

nicolamumof3 · 11/01/2010 15:35

lol janx

poor ds and you maxy hope you are both ok?

our council must win the award for gritting all paths and roads cleared round here and we had heavy snow last few days v.impressed.

maxybrown · 11/01/2010 15:40

lol Jan.

Yes we are thank you, I just feel bad, even though I couldn't have done anything.

Well, went out to PO. NIGHTMARE. No grit whatsoever, so took ages, even with Nipper. Got halfway, with all parcels....left purse at home so had to go back got all the way there and realised I had left my 2 letters I had to post at home, what a fool. Not going back again now, it is really awful out there. Fee like a prisoner here atm!

nicolamumof3 · 11/01/2010 15:46

oh maxy sounds awful really does sending you hugs xxx

maxybrown · 11/01/2010 15:50

Thank you, sniff. Just feeling sorry for myself. It gets to you seing no one at all though doesn't it? Have just realised also that I forgot sugar too. i don't have it but DH does and he is at parents evening tonight - waaaaaaahhhhhh. DS asleep at least!

nicolamumof3 · 11/01/2010 16:16

oh i do know what its like i hated being stuck in last week i only did one day it was awful been out every day since even sat in blizzard! did you see sledging pics on my profile?

maxybrown · 11/01/2010 16:52

Atm it is horrible out, but I am not scared of going out in any weather, we have all the gear! lol. It is just the not going out out or seeing anyone. Apart from DS/DH I haven't seen anyone else since Christmas. Everything got cancelled, even my job whilst weather bad, so it just gets to you I guess. My motivation is TERRIBLE atm, struggling a little if I'm honest. When weather improves a bit, I might speak to DH about me and James going to see my friends in Devon for a few days, that would be nice. My best friend down there only works 2 days a week and another friend is due her baby beg of feb so would be nice. It is just car seat issue

Not seen pics no...on FB?

nicolamumof3 · 11/01/2010 18:28

no on here maxy if you click on my name it takes you into my profile on there.

Maxy it is v.v.lonely when you are stuck home this is why i hate holidays everyone is busy theres no groups or nursery to break the monotomy. Shame we are not all closer more hugs and chocolate your way hunnie xx

Disenchanted3 · 11/01/2010 18:54

Arghhh, that woman still hasn't accepted or delined my offer, grrrr.

Am returning the XLR to marshallward. I called them and told them that the apron zip was stiff and thatI had to return my first XLR to them because the zip broke and I'm not happy, so they are collecting it Friday.

So need to get a 3 wheeler quick! Bloody ebayers!

sal1309 · 11/01/2010 19:34

evening all hope your all well

maxy big hugs its not nice being stuck in all the time, im lucky as dd's preschool has been open and its only a 5 min walk away.

im absolutly shattered today only had about 2 hrs sleep last night. fell on the snow this morning didnt hurt myself but nearly did the splits so my bones are now killing me.

janx · 11/01/2010 19:47

Got the parcel maxy - lovely as always - thanks. Not good being stuck on your own all day - sounds like a plan going to devon. Could you set up a meet up in your area on mn. I met one of my best friends through a local thread....she is now in Australia for 2 years where it is 41 degrees!!
Shame your not in London
