nicola, i'm after the a single Nipper 360, must be black or red. Saw my friends double who has twins and i'm now wanting to try a single again, lol.

nicolamumof3 · 22/01/2010 21:13

do you need it desperately bexie? i have single black nipper with footmuff..but prob hang onto it over summer.

BexieID · 22/01/2010 21:19

Not desperate for one and if you're thinking of selling yours nicola after summer, that would be perfect as would mean I can keep using P&T/cdrive combo till then and save the money up. And I really want a black one, lol.

Has anyone else nearly chopped their pinky finger off folding/unfolding P&T? It was in the bit that says keep fingers away but you don't realise that when getting it in/out car! I almost had to cry out for help the other day in the Asda car park, lol.

nicolamumof3 · 22/01/2010 21:28

bexie will report back in the morning on the badger balm lol!! hows the little lady doing?

re. p&t i never folded mine if we were going in car we just took single mac! probably folded the p&t 3/4 times in the 6m i had it.

thats noted then re the nipper bexie!!

BexieID · 22/01/2010 21:45

Erins doing good. Month old today . We usually get 4-5 hours sleep at night, although DP complains that she makes so much noise whilst shes sleeping. I don't hear her as have to wear ear plugs due to DP snoring! (I do hear her crying though).

I unfold/fold P&T 4 times a day, lol.

Just give me a shout then when you want to sell Nipper.

nicolamumof3 · 22/01/2010 21:57

aaah you need zapp/maxi cosi combi. Does tom walk ok to car? hows he doing at nursery.

thisisyesterday · 22/01/2010 22:20

hello all

i am looking for something that might not exist!!!

i want a little bag type thing that will fasten to a handlebar of a pram, just to keep my purse and stuff in.
i have been the buggy buddy, but that's a bit big, and too open.

so is there anything like that but smaller and with a zipped bit big enough for purse/keys etc?

nicolamumof3 · 22/01/2010 22:26

what about a bagabottle? or you can get custom bag made?

thisisyesterday · 22/01/2010 22:32

hmm yes that might be what i need!!!

i did think about making a bag myself actually, I could do it, but y'know, it's easier if i can just buy one

thisisyesterday · 22/01/2010 22:36

ooooooh now i've looked on ebay and see people selling them in all different patterns too!!! how cool

it's a bit bigger than i was thinking of... but they're very nice!

BexieID · 22/01/2010 23:00

Wish I had a MC car seat, but will make do with Graco on P&T. Toms been walking ok, but not had a wet and/or windy day yet! He's loving nursery. Been singing songs at home, latest one sounds like Frère Jacques! Seeing as he wasn't speaking at all this time last year, it's music to my ears, lol.

I am to say that there are times I want him to be quiet and have to remind myself of when I was wishing he'd speak!

Divatheshopaholic · 22/01/2010 23:29

Im sorry, i take that muff back Dunoon you made me laugh. Pebbles have some lovely footmuffs and accessories i should said.
No mac is not sold, but i defo selling it and getting Xt or spitfire. I just gets a bit funny about buying used mac as the wheels are show so much use etc... i think.
I must looka round for any good price new

nicolamumof3 · 23/01/2010 08:34

Morning all!!

Mac wheels do wear fast the xt won't have worn down tho or anything just a bit pitted. thats how they go as they are just plastic nothing to worry about did you get pics of nonny's? Diva?

Maxy parcel just came lovely, but i think cons may be big for luka maybe he is in between sizes? will save them for summer thanks again the fleece is lovely too Tate has it in navy.

maxybrown · 23/01/2010 09:01

Oh thanks for letting me know! I think the lo's allow them more room Nic, because of their wide feet? IYSWIM? I have it in navy too, they are lovely but bit big on James really!

Right have to go. Off to town to bank with DH then food shopping, exciting eh?

nicolamumof3 · 23/01/2010 09:12

my DH working all w/end

have my friend round with her ds' tho in an hour she's another w/end widow!!

oh i got the duck egg blue cons for tate they are gorgeous for summer and bit big on him now so perfect.

just ordered him some lovely trousers out of No Added Sugar Sale

5inthebed · 23/01/2010 09:33

Sham your DH is working all weekend Nicola . My DH has to work every other weekend now, so is going to be a nightmare for me!

Want to do something exciting today, not sure what though. Sick of being in the house.

nicolamumof3 · 23/01/2010 09:59

this time of year is so boring at the w/ends i think. Unless it involves spending money or getting cold/wet/muddy v.little to do!

we are going swimming later as terry home between 3 and 5pm

pebbles79 · 23/01/2010 11:02

We're the opposite here, it's me that needs to work the weekend

Divatheshopaholic · 23/01/2010 12:29

i think L`s black xt sold on ebay anyway i definately on the look out to get xt. quite like spitfire, is spitfire slightly bigger than quest? I like air tyres, hence i have issues with Mac as they got plastic wheels

FlyMeToDunoon · 23/01/2010 12:47

Well I have spent all morning sorting, folding and putting away clean washing and then tidying generally.
I haven't used the bjcc since that last gasp of the snow and the kaiser I bought new is still in the packet. I am hoping for some cold weather to justify it all or if it does not get used by say April, will sell. TBH I hate having pushchairs hanging around. I am not very good at the sensible stuff like keeping something just in case or buying seasonal stuff ahead of time.

maxybrown · 23/01/2010 13:00

Arggh Dunoon! I shall have to try and hang onto my funds until April then lol!!

Think I have sold the quest locally, got someone coming in an hour, cash, hooray!

My Dh working all weekend now too, all be iT at home, but working non the less. Our camper is being collected tomorrow for sure, so getting her ready too. She is going to live with a Policeman!

nicolamumof3 · 23/01/2010 13:03

we've had a lovely morning my friend over and so lunched the boys all together (just need to sweep and mop up the mess now!!)

was nice to catch up and see her little baby who's gorgeous. And just have another adult to talk too! was manic tho people calling round and ringing. always the way.

Diva spitfire is on ryder frame inbetween a quest and an xt.

FlyMeToDunoon · 23/01/2010 13:16

maxy you never know. As I say I hate having them hanging around cluttering up the place.
At least I had the house to myself this morning as DP took the girls out to the shops.
I so know what you mean about talking to another adult though Nicola and babies mmmmmmm

OP posts:
maxybrown · 23/01/2010 13:18

oh god me too Nicola, adult conversation, fab! Not the baby bit though
