Oh i am nervous about that. Maxy thinking about you and dh and little james hope you are all well and having a fab time. Still trying to put more pics on but taking for ever.
Nic big squeezy hug from me. nah nah nah nah nah told you so. [sorry guess who has been on the red wine tonigh] Geek i blame you with tempting me earlier. How bad is this 6.30pm Daniel ready for bed and olivia arrives home from having a fab time at grandads and i say lets nip over to the co-op for milk . In the co-op i buy milk, crisps, choc, Bottle of red wine. Leave the co-op and who do we bump into but Olivias nursery teacher. Teachers asks if she is having a late night because nursery finished for a fortnight and Olivia prompty told her no mum needed some wine then Olivia aske Mrs Willson who's hand she was holding? Is that your dad so i well and truly deserve my glass/bottle of wine. Dh on tripple time so not home till late.

Evening everyone, Hope you all had a great Easter. We went to Edinburgh on the train today and it was not too bad. Kids a bit crankey so we didn't stay long but they enjoyed their Eastern Buffet and had a look in John Lewis at pushchairs. I had to pull a fast one on my mum. Olivia wanted to go on the escalator and daniel and i went on the lift and i told mum to meet me on the 3rd floor at the toys but i stayed on to the 4th and had a quick look at some pushchairs. Mum sussed me out so appeared behind me and i just about jumped out my skin. What on earth are you looking at pushchairs for blah de blah. I promptly shoved Olivia in the nipper and asked if she was comfy and she started on about not sending the blue one back so we left.
I really do like the nipper however i have been looking at those Jane Dakar and it is just heavie than the nipper about the same width but shorter in length and bigger seat for big boy daniel.Now never so easy i like the black one on ebay but not sure at all about the inside of the hood. Why is it so difficult it would be perfect.
Well done on the pottytraining in your house nic.

We went to Ikea today. I am metally exhausted . Ikea does that. Especially with the children. I do love Ikea though. The food is fab!
I had salmon for lunch and brought home biscuits, cheese, salami and more biscuits.
It was busy.

I saw an MPX in Mimi the other day, it is goreous. Why do you always get nicer prams for girls than boys? The afternoon tea one was lovely as well.

I love love love Ikea. I get excited about going, probably more than gettin a pram. I have Ikea in every room of my house.

We could all Wii together and get fit!
Tell me if making XT liners is at all a viable way to earn some pennies. Is it too limited? Would they fit other Macs?
I went to Ikea partly to get fabric but had reached the stage of mindless indecision when we got to fabric and didn't buy any.

Um eh yes of course I do. Idiot [me] I have sold both but could make patterns of each before they go. If I think of all the pushchairs I have had and could have patterns of....... Grrrrrr
Surely a universal one is the way to go though? Non?

You could have a few options Dunoon. I could lways send you my nipper liner once I get my Snunkie one as well

nicolamumof3 · 05/04/2010 21:59

personally i don't think the nipper liner covers enough so i prefer a universal. i like it to come more round the sides. I think if you listed as liner for triumph/quest etc individually they'd go well. What do you think you'd sell for? prime liner season starting now!

I have my usual dread of dealing with three DDs all day on my own with no school or nursery. However [touch wood] it usually goes quickly and is only for 4 days.
I can make liners and strap pads. Would you consider that a set or would it need a head cushion too?
Maybe a look at another liner would be good and I will send you an example of one I make Nicola. When I make another

Flyme, i think the ikea fabric is stunning. I did not get a chance to look due to running around after daniel in ikea but really lovley collection. The liner i have from you fits the bjcm so universal is a good idea. I would lookl into foam one or little bit of wadding in some to give different options. I def think you could make this talent of yours to good use. I went to bed earlier as i am having that very low feeling i always get at the same time every month. Def conected to hormones and it's awfull really makes you feel like screaming. Sure the thought of me buying another pushchair doesn't help.

Horsemadgal sent you email thankyou so much.
Yes nic i really do struggle with the size of the elite in my house for as much as i love it. I keep looking at it and think oh nooo but then when it comes to go out in it i am usually cursing the thing. Fine when i am out but the whole storage etc pita.
I would love to see a pic of the liner on the nipper as i also think those liners they come with are teensy. Can the pic have that hansome little man in just to not completly rule the nipper out of the list.
