[nicolamumof3wisemen]

Volo sold and paid for woohoo....what now, hang out for cheap quest or try a silver cross pop?! i had two before and didn't like

Happy New Year everybody!
Lol Nicola. I did wonder but felt a little unsure otherwise I would have texted back.
I managed to consume red wine, white wine and then get to the champagne at midnight before crawling to bed. DD1 stayed up this year too.
Lovely sunny crisp start to the year here.

Happy New Year All!!! Shouldn't we be in a new thread now?

Basl that's so good to hear - not about the black eye falling downstairs and trapping fingers though

We are just chiiling today, lovely, not even dressed

Jan I know what you mean, New Year does nothing for us either!!

Happy new year everyone!!

Basl hope you are ok??

Not so much as a twinge here - grr! Lovely and sunny here though very cold.

Last Doctor Who with David Tennant later (sob).

I haven't watched last weeks yet as Tom insisted on the xmas Teletubbies DVD on! Must remember to record it on iplayer so i can sit and do ironing watching it!

Hi
Had a nice day - we went to wagamama for lunch - Luka was so funny with the chopsticks. Then I popped into monsoon sale and it was really quiet - bought a lovely dress for me - yes a purchase for me and then two things for Luka - couldn't see anything for Frida - so didn't tell her I bought anything for ds . Just made some flapjacks with the kids and dd is watching monsters inc with ds and dp is doing some long over dues things around the place (hanging pictures etc)
Never understood the lure of David Tennant...now if it was Johnny Depp that would be a different matter

Evening all!

We had a lovely day at my parents had roast dinner yummy!

now off to bed. im still after a pretty pushchair for the car. i really want a quest none on ebay i want. im still gutted missed bargain kiddicare ones

I thought you were getting rid of the car Nic?

yes we might be, all hangs on terry's job tbh. We are both v.keen to get rid its such a money pit.

anyone had a pulse? thought i could try whilst on sale...so much cheaper than i can find a maclaren anywhere?

Only a bit cheaper than Butchers stripe with discount code? I must admit never used one but they always look comparible to the pop when I have seen them around town. Maclarens just always look so sturdy!

It's snowing here! Just getting ready to take DS out in it

i've always fancied to try the rio pulse tho!! don't know why not keen on the wheels tho don't look v.sturdy. Will pop into m&p and have an inspection in a bit!!

its fffrreeezing here, light dusting of snow thats all its bright sunshine we have panto this afternoon with all boys that should be interesting.

Yes that's what I think about them, wheels look a bit cheap and flimsy, but if you can go in and have a look at them then ideal!!

It's looking really pretty here atm. My friend who lies i Plymouth is up in Aberdeenshire and it looks fabulous there!

right i best go do my hair and make up and get out of here. need to get tom measured for school shoes (yuck) and try and find a 2010 calender then home to make lunch spaghetti bolognese too cold for sandwiches today!!

so glad i checked pulse out! yuck fabrics and harness really flimsy looking quest much nicer...but wonder what pulse + like?

got the spaghetti on smells yum mmmmmh!

Oh well at least you got to look at it. I love a spag bol, but my 2 boys hate it well james hates most things so he doesn't really count

We walked to Morrisons and got soaked by loads of snow then bit of rain then loads more snow!! Home in my jim jam bottoms with fire on and DH did us sausage and scrambled egg

Happy new year everyone

Went to my sisters NYE and then my mams yesterday. Although quite nearly never went past the doors as there was 10 inches of snow on the ground yesterday ! Built a snowman with ds1 while Dh went to the pub with my stepdad.

Nicola there is a mac apples quest on the boards for £70 delivered, looks in good condition.

Nicola just wanted to jump in about the pulse. I bought one and for the money it is fine. It seems sturdy enough to me, but there is something about the push of it that doesn't quite feel right. The wheels don't seem smooth enough IYSWIM. It's fine on pavements, but you really notice it on smooth surfaces like shopping centres which is what I bought it for as I use a 3 wheeler the rest of the time.

I have never had a maclaren though so can't compare it to that.

Sorry to just jump in. I lurk in the shed but never really comment.

Meant to add the pulse plus is the same, but the fabrics have a different feel, and it has a veiwing window and a sort of pillow on the seat which the pulse doesn't have. The wheels seem to be the same on both models.

Hi girls

Happy New Year!

Still not bought anything else, can't say I will be this year as I really need to get rid of debts so will be piss poor this year - gah!

Hope you are all well

5in i think its my quest thats on the boards. or my 'old' one i should say...shall i buy it back?!!

thats tutu thats good to know about the pulse. i like nice fabrics and always like m&ps fabrics so was really disappointed by the pulse.

hiya dis hows you? Glad your still loving xlr. off to hunt out a quest on ebay...AGAIN!

But it back Nicola

I want a new purchase....

Woohoo, my bargain Zia has sold on ebay

well done pebbles!

i want something new. think i will give in and order butchers stripe maclaren.

I am sticking to clothes I have decided as really don't need anything else but it is very painful as keep finding myself searching for something on ebay in pram section grrrr.

Evening all
Maxy and Nicola - you have funds

Maxy - think Luka is too big for that lovely pawprint footmuff ...will try it on the mb in the next few days as it sits differently on that iyswim.

Only got one day left before back to work and dp has to go to work as he has to take a few days off next week to look after the kids. Might take them to a little puppet show in a theatre near us as a treat
