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.

Nicola, the seat should come off the Micralite. You need an allan key to do it, there should be one on the frame somewhere.

Basl, my Daniel is an escape artist as well!

nicolamumof3 · 07/04/2010 18:14

i think my micralite must be a really old one! wll upload pic later of where it is unattached and i can't see it coming off? its clean now anyway.

its black btw!

oh basl sending you huge glass of medicinal wine not your fault at all. i suppose you will need a bolt on top door? Glad he was ok hope you are ok now?

5inthebed · 07/04/2010 18:31

Unscrew the two bottom corners of the seat, and you need to unscrew the handlebars so that the bar that holds the head of the seat unit comes out (iirc)

I'm so stressed today and blew my diet by stuffing my face . Will get back on board tomorrow as need to lose another stone at least by the end of May.

nicolamumof3 · 07/04/2010 19:00

i still can't see how it will come off that bar at top. but not to worry is now clean and for sale if anyone wants it!!

5inthebed · 07/04/2010 19:23

I'm so tempted! IIRC you have to totally unscrew the hndlebar bit. Did you get the raincover with it as well? Have you given it a proper test drive?

nicolamumof3 · 07/04/2010 21:44

no. no r/c. its sold now. i will hopefully get luka in it before i send have to wait for it to dry fully so not sending til friday anyway.

i still fancy a superlite. but must sell the volo or something first!!

horsemadgal · 08/04/2010 10:27

Morning all.

ladylush · 08/04/2010 10:30

Anyone know what I should use on my bugaboo frog as it's squeaking a bit? Don't want to use furniture polish or wd40 if I'm supposed to use a specific product (got second hand so no manual).

horsemadgal · 08/04/2010 10:58

Silicone spray hunny.
Your WD40 should be fine I'd have thought.

GeekOfTheWeek · 08/04/2010 11:21

Morning all,

Computer was broken yesterday , had to take it to be fixed.

Off to collect the bee today. Am very excited!

Horsemadgal, do you have horses? I am horse mad too. Considering buying another when I go back to work in sept

nicolamumof3 · 08/04/2010 11:54

morning all! well micralite is bone dry now. because of glorious sun we have this morning. Woke with migraine but just done 2hrs straight housework. Been rewarded with my boden summer preview order arriving

need to go through boys clothes and get new pic trail up tho. lunch time then trip to p.o and park I think.

horsemadgal · 08/04/2010 12:09

Hope migraine gone now Nicola.

Geek, no horses right now. Last one went when I was pregnant with DS1. I couldn't commit enough time to them now with working and kids as I don't have my own land. Maybe one day again.

FlyMeToDunoon · 08/04/2010 13:05

I hope basl is ok.

ladylush · 08/04/2010 15:57

Thanks horsemadgal

GeekOfTheWeek · 08/04/2010 17:48

5inthebed · 08/04/2010 18:24

Afternoon ladies. We went to Wet N Wild today, were only there about an hour when DH ended up slicin his hands open on something on the kids' slide! Relly bad, skin off and it looked like a scene out of a horror flick. Ended up coming home and he is now not able to a single thing

5inthebed · 08/04/2010 18:25

slicing. My G key is sticking

FlyMeToDunoon · 08/04/2010 18:58

Nasty 5in. did he go to A&E?

GeekOfTheWeek · 08/04/2010 19:14

5in, is your dh okay?

nicolamumof3 · 08/04/2010 19:33

omg is he ok 5in? did you report it? poor man imagine if it had been one of the kids!!

all ok here had a lovely day. the micralite footrest keeps folding in not sure if broken or just needs looking at..not that i know what im doing!!

5inthebed · 08/04/2010 21:04

He ended up going to the walk in centre, he has lost the skin off both his index fingers, so heavily bandaged up and he has to go back Sunday to see if they are healing. Terrified he is going to need skin grafts if it doesnt as there is about in inch long strip missing off both. He was seen by the first aider when we were there, and it went down into the accident book.
Nicola, you miht need to tighten the break cable on it, it shouldn't keep collapsing like that.

maxybrown · 08/04/2010 21:25

Evening everyone

Well, I thought it was going to be May before I caught up on everything!!!

Had a fabby time, lots of beach walks and fossil searching and crabbing.......though we were the ONLY ones on Cromer pier to NOT catch a single crab

We got there and unzipped the awning that came with the van........it is one that is permenantly attached to side of van in it's own little zip up bag........anyway, it was sopping wet and bit yakky and it was really windy and i am very short so hope you can picture it all.........anyway after what felt like 6 hours of flying off with the awning, we decide it is naff and bits missing (essential bits) and so DH just cuts it off with a knife and says we'll chuck it.

Do that dry off a bit and then find all the essential parts in the van ......after we have shredded it ah well!

All this talk of babies too..........even DH and I had conversations about another whilst away but we didn't reach a conclusion. If we were we would need to be quick as I really need to be bringing money in soonish and so timing would be quite good when James goes to school. I just don't know.....James is soooooo lovely and easy, I got terrible headaches when pregnant for first few months and that panicks me a bit. Will keep you all posted anyway though don't hold your breath

Basl, big apologies but I forgot to post that top befire I went away so will get it off to you tomorrow - I am rubbish, sorry!

5in, will PP you very soon, have money in wrong bank need to know exact amount I owe you too. Don't know wether to keep it I used it once when away. James loves it but not sure if I just find it annoying

nicolamumof3 · 08/04/2010 21:25

good grief that is bloody terrible...are they investigating it?

i have refunded micralite buyer i just don't know what im looking at have emailed ebay seller..nothing back tho yet.

nicolamumof3 · 08/04/2010 21:27

oh my lovely maxy you are home!! have missed you sooooooo much...do i sound like a mad stalker??!

maxybrown · 08/04/2010 21:36
