Aww that sounds so cute Carrie, Clever wee chap no easy you know blowing raspberries whilst rolling over.
Thankyou maxy i think he is gorgeous too. I think if you saw him in real life you would see a difference. Sad really he has never been a baby for long. He sits with us at the dinner table now as he hates the high chair. Learning all the time with Daniel that he is super independant and just wants to be the same as olivia. He sits better actually than his sister and he is not on a booster chair. They are away to play planet with dad so i am going to do some ebay stuff. Hate that but i have so much stuff to go.

Nic good luck at the doctors. Hope he is ok

basl · 05/05/2010 09:53

That sounded so slang scottish "no easy you know" I meant to say it is not easy.

Divatheshopaholic · 05/05/2010 10:55

Hi all,
Basl, Daniel is cutey. I love them when they are up to 2.5 years, after that they seem to turn into monsters, well mine are anyway I love them to bits, but they wants and needs seems never stops, and wears me out. My ex-neighbor once told me it never stopped with their only daughter at age 30.
Bexie, got pm, you need to clear your inbox.
Boden baby stuff is gorgeous, i could have another baby
Carrie, i love Minimode, they do lovely bodenique stuff, i just got to watch big appliques as some seem rather hard backed
I actually will go and check if they got any campervan tshirt in 2-3 size. They sizing are quite generrious arent they?
Maxy, i thinking of going Didsbury on Friday, will you be able to meet up at Cheadle JL. While i was leaving JL last time, i saw soft play place ont he other side of aroundabout.

Carrie, what happened to MB? Did you fix the lock? I asked my friend, she said pair of flier should make it work, then may be apply plenty of WD40.

Might be seeing my Mum on Friday as she hasn't seen James all week and will be having withdrawel!! That is not spelt right but my brain is not working sorry! can do next week though? Don't know that area at all Diva besides JL and Lakeland up the road so not sure where you mean! Sure I can work it out though

We need to sort out coming over to your too if Geek has recovered from her marathon drinking session I haven't forgotten!!

I find Mini Mode small Diva - well tops anyway, carrie had the 2/3 - you could have had that one as I kept 3/4 as wanted it to be roomy anyway!

nicolamumof3 · 05/05/2010 11:48

i find mini mode quite big sizing too? but then again randomly some 3/4 tee shirts are quite small and fit luka now so who knows same old same old with sizes.

dh off today so he's taken luka to docs and tate's gone they are doing recycling too..they love doing anything with daddy. so i've just done some washing and ironing.

not much planned now this afternoon. will see how luka is it was his swimming lesson today too and dh was going to take him

carrielou2007 · 05/05/2010 11:50

Pliers - fabbi, will have a bash at that later, thanks diva . I was going to say did you want the 2-3 top if I posted boh to Maxy if you meet up but took it back this morning.

There was kerfuffle as I took it back with my receipt and assistant started kicking off 'but I can only give you three pounds not four' (it was two for 7 pounds) and I said 'yes that's right' and she ignored me saying 'I can't gve you four pounds only three pounds' so again I said 'that's right'.

Really funny as one of the other assistants came over at all the noise and said 'don't you know who this is it's C she does know' as I used to be the manager about 12 years ago.

One of my ladies in the cash office used to tell me off that I should do something with my education so I went back to studying, retrained as an audiologist then got my own back by employing her as one of my receptionists!!!

DS now is over 16lbs!!!!

I find the Boots tops small but everything else really generous sizes.

GeekOfTheWeek · 05/05/2010 11:56

Hi all,

Only just feeling normal now after monster hangover of doom

maxy & Diva, I am free next week, pretty much any day.

Miserable and dull here today, no pegging out

basl · 05/05/2010 11:57

I am just about to list a pair of mini mode dungarees that have been worn once and in 18/24. They just fit daniel but not much room to grow but he has the same size in Jeans and they are perfect. I think the jeans sit under tummy a bit so seem longer. A bit like me petite jeans always too long as they fall under my tummy too.

maxybrown · 05/05/2010 11:59

what a kerfuffle!

I had coat from there for James and it was huge, lasted him 2 summers, but I think the tops are smaller generally - but yes, same old same old!! Tried the yellow shorts on James this morning and ft him fine Nic.

Carrie do I owe you postage yet?

nicolamumof3 · 05/05/2010 12:01

ooh im hoping purple ones are ok then

carrielou2007 · 05/05/2010 12:05

Not yet, po is on the way to playgroup or rather just after as nice day so will walk to the next one but don't worry it will be on it's way to you today

maxybrown · 05/05/2010 12:10

Oops sorry didn't mean to sound impatient - just didn't want you to think I had forgotten postage

I bet so Nicola - James' are 18/24. Will they be coming today? I am hoping volo might come today, meant to be tomorrow but don't think anythings ever come on the actual day it says. It does say out for delivery but with date still being tomorrow - we shall see

basl · 05/05/2010 12:11

Oh Carrie i would love someone to say about me "Don't you know who she is" really i would or me to say "Do you know who i am" Love it! Shame you decided to further your career as we could of all benefited from you working in there and the manager!!
16lbs then your ds is doing well.

maxybrown · 05/05/2010 12:13

cross posts there!! James is very long in the body so always needs good sized dungarees, then mega turn ups in the leg He has a romper on that has just come from the states - got here in couple of days too, amazing!! It is a shorty one and grey here but it is soooooo cute I couldn't resist hehehe.

maxybrown · 05/05/2010 12:14

Ha ha ha Basl - I think next time you are having a kerfuffle anywhere - you should just say "Do you know who I am?!!" just for the fun og it

basl · 05/05/2010 12:21

I think i will maxy, kind of like that famous film Taxi with Robert Dinero "You talkin to me" I will have a little practice in the mirror.
Oh Fancy something coming from the States. I used to do that all the time for Olivia. I was on first name terms with some of those lovley ebay sellers. I would have bundles sent from all over and always caused a stir at toddlers when i told them were her clothes came from. They thought i was a nutter then and still do i suspect.

maxybrown · 05/05/2010 12:23

It's good to be a nutter ..........only a true nutter would say that.

I tend to look for rompers and bodysuits as they do them in much bigger sizes over there!! I will try and take a pic of James.......

basl · 05/05/2010 12:24

It was a bit like you girls with stars. I bought the most stunning litte designer range with cherries on and i became obsessed with buying matching things with cherries. Even the start rite shoes had cherries on. Ohh they were the days

5inthebed · 05/05/2010 12:33

Diva and Nicola, parcels came today, thanks v much. Diva, can't remember buying all those tshirts from you! Did you sneak a freebie in there?

Also got my nipper liner, its lurvely. Still undecided about selling, might sell and get a micralite? Actually I think I will sell and get a micralite. Will take pictures of liner for you Nicola

Bexie, that strawberry outfit is gorgeous, wish I had a girl to dress

We went to toddlers this morning, and did gardening in the veg patch they have there. DS3 was sittin in the soil trying to help, he is really mucky!

maxybrown · 05/05/2010 12:42

Ooh we are starting growing our own things, have carrots on the go and DH in the middle of sorting out potatoes right best have lunch and off we go.

Divatheshopaholic · 05/05/2010 13:16

Yippee, im excited.
5in, Great you got parcel. Im glad you happy with them
Carrie, i would love 2-3 top, shall i pp you asap, then you can send it to Maxy, save you time.
Basl, i love cherries and strawberries. My dd is always dressed in bold/bright colors, its very young girls seem to dressed in greys,blacks, earthy washed out colors

basl · 05/05/2010 13:59

ooohh my nipper has just arrived. I really like it but no pump . I know the wheels are difficult to fill with air due to non wiggly inner tube thingy so i ordered the pump to go. My standard one does not fit. I was sweating trying to adjust the back seat strap. In tips on how to get it tighter. Does everynipper have the large shopping bit at the back?. I have ordered the basket but that has not arrived.
I love the colour and really hope the liner will go. Little shorter in the handle than i am used to but guess what i fits out my front door. Yeahhhhh. Mind you that is with not air in the tyres . It's a dinky little think compared to the elite but i think it will be just fine for what i need. Really like the colour.

sal1309 · 05/05/2010 14:10
