nicolamumof3 · 09/03/2010 09:51

cloudy here today and cold.

I need to try and clean the carpet off my iron today

oooh more shopping maxy..what you after?

i thought i may go into tunbridge wells this afternoon to look in cath kidston at bedding.

nicolamumof3 · 09/03/2010 09:53

um true to size i'd say if buying brand new.. tate has no.4 top which is 4/5 and its quite big sleeves v.long. so he'd prob still fit in 3/4.

And yes no interest in volo so i may well have to keep or stick back on ebay..

maxybrown · 09/03/2010 09:55

and the iron off the carpet

Ooh nothing, just mooching and still have Next credit to use. Mum needs to get my Dad stuff for work etc.

OK thanks, so I'm guessing 2/3 be ok for James then?

OP posts:
nicolamumof3 · 09/03/2010 10:00

yeah i would have though so. i would prob be inclined to get 3/4 for luka now but you should be ok for james.

i can't get iron off carpet thats had it thinking of getting remnant or offcut as wanted to replace anyway as its blue!! disgusting and we redecorated creams/chocolate last year.

maxybrown · 09/03/2010 10:09

ok hun thanks. good luck with your iron.

hi all,
dd is home today. she had temps last night, kept her in. she is so excited being off school.
nicola, why you decided to sell volo anyway?
i tried to use butchers stripe yesterday, ds said BIG BUGGY, lol
looks like no from him, but im hoping it will get used in the summer. he was really big in it. i mmean his shoulders barely fit. or is it me and him getting used to the huge space.

5inthebed · 09/03/2010 11:26

Can't wait to get my nipper now. The foot plate is a bit scratched though. Anyone have any idea how much it would be to get a new one, or is there no point?

Gutte as just seen Norma selling her BJCE. I would have snapped that up!

5inthebed · 09/03/2010 11:26

gutted

nicolamumof3 · 09/03/2010 12:36

oh shame 5in.

i really wouldn't both about footplate they very very easily scuff mine has and it doesn't really bother me particularly as its my outdoorsy buggy.

I can't believe your ds3 is coming up to 18m 5in

oh and i cleaned my iron with a vileda non stick scourer!! thats saved me £20.

diva i don't need two small buggies just always wanted volo in that colour.

luka is very comfy in quest but agree much more room in a three wheeler seat.

5inthebed · 09/03/2010 12:45

Well I'm now swapping my BJCM for Normas BJCE Anyone want to buy a red nopper . Sooooooooooooooooooo excited.

I know he isn't a baby anymore, very much a toddler. He has amazing tantrums, throws himself on the floor and everything. Terrible twos at 15 months, the little horror.

How did you manage to iron the carpet?

5inthebed · 09/03/2010 12:45

Nipper not nopper. Whats up with my typing today!

basl · 09/03/2010 14:04

oh 5in that is just brill. You know that the elite will be immaculate from Norma. I bet you can't wait for it to arrive. What a perfect swap.

BexieID · 09/03/2010 14:07

I'm having a buggy nightmare! The Callisto I bought from pram board arrived at my parents with a broken rear right wheel. Am so gutted! Now I don't have a buggy to use at mums and can't see Callisto being fixed in time. I need to phone Mamas and Papas and ask how much fixing it would cost. No idea how i'll get it to a shop unless they pick up?

nicolamumof3 · 09/03/2010 14:10

oh no bexie. was it damaged in transit? you should be able to claim if so? m&p will charge a fortune i bet.

5in fabby swap...how much was red nipper? you will easy sell on ebay they go well.

i dropped my iron on the carpet yesterday afternoon as you do.

my volo has arrived...but with the next door neighbours..now anyone interested? will be putting pics up before ebay. Just can't afford to keept it have rest of toms school trip and what with doing out boys bedroom.

BexieID · 09/03/2010 14:21

It went in box undamaged and came out damaged, iykwim. Have sent lady I bought it from pix inc the box. If it had been dropped by DHL they could maybe have unsquashed the box? The Zia I bought when they first came out, arrived at the lady who bought it from me with a broken handle. She claimed as she booked it and got money back, hope I do. Maybe not be enough to fix though. Could cry as mum says it's lovely!

And I still need to get Toms b/day pressie!

basl · 09/03/2010 14:43

What a shame bexie. Sure there must be insurance on that. How on earth could the front wheel break?? Have you had time to phone and find out. I would have been in tears as well.
Nic i burnt my carpet years ago with iron and i coloured it in with colouring pens and shoe dye. Worked a treat but insurance again i think.

nicolamumof3 · 09/03/2010 14:46

lol basl!!
bexie hope you manage to claim ok x

carrielou2007 · 09/03/2010 15:04

Afternoon all.

Posted your blanket theotherme

I would be in tears too Bexie, what a pain in the whotsit . I had a buggy repaired at m and p, I did not have the receipt but the serial number on the frame showed it was less than a year old they charged me 35 pounds but it was only the handle you use to help fold the buggy. My m and p is a 50 mile round trip though they said if I had my receipt they would send a courier and a box to my house to collect it

Bought a custom hood for the bug today for the summer as can't find a breezy in the colour I like, some carseat adaptors (have given in for nursery run) and a yummy mummy change bag (another one)

Nicola I'm trying to resist your apples snuggle think it would look lovely on the cam but then would have to sell george pig footmuff

nicolamumof3 · 09/03/2010 15:38

oooh it is very lovely carrielou!! but i have to face facts its on nipper which i use maybe 2/3 times a month and luka won't go in it at all...tate has tho!

volo's here lovely colours for summer don't you think?!

carrielou2007 · 09/03/2010 15:42

Gorgous for summer, would get filthy v easily though, my volo in pink and silver did. My scrummy hot pink and black one didn't though one of my cheapest but a real favourite.

nicolamumof3 · 09/03/2010 15:46
