Morning everyone.

I've got a killer headache this morning. DS3 won't go down for a nap either so I've took some strong painkillers and hoping for the best.

nicolamumof3 · 06/05/2010 11:02

oh no its horrible that when you've got lo's there you have my every sympathy.

i've been busy bee. House clean and tidied so going out before they can trash it again! off to park then to friends for a cuppa.

really lovely day here today so making most of it.

photographed quest outside thats all shiny and ready to go. got hood rod for p&t and its all cleaned up ready to photo this afternoon.

basl · 06/05/2010 11:04

Hi Flyme that sounds such a nice area. I am pleased for you and hope you will be happy. St Johns is the name of Olivia's new school.

Nic i had a night of kicking in the back too after my work so very tired.

5in hate having a headache hope it has gone now for you.

Well came in last night to find all the tryes on the nipper flat. Something not right. The all bubbled up like egg shape after walk. Then Olivia sat in it and she is huge I am wondering if have made a huge mistake. I love the colour and how light but i think because i ordered the liner i went against my gut instinct and i don't think the seat is tall enough. Daniel looks fine now but what is he going to look like when he is 3 in it. It is so funny as i have seen pics of older children and it looked fine. Even when reclined Daniel head poking at the top and not a lot of room. Arrrrrgghhhhh i have bloody well done it again. I wish i had ignored the hood and got the classic as it had huge seat and fitted the door. Oh well nothing new really.
Sorry to be so moany today.

nicolamumof3 · 06/05/2010 11:11

basl...breathe

how far off the hood is he when its down? he must have masses of room?

as luka still does and will see him through til he's out of pushchairs.

Tate still fits in it he's in 3-4 trousers 4-5 tops. the hood just about skims his head. How old is olivia? she's older than tate isn't she so i wouldn't let it bother you too much. Do some pics for us i will tell you v.honestly don't worry you know me!! im off out now but back early afternoon x

basl · 06/05/2010 11:15

Oh Bless you nicola, i am feeling all sick again over bloody pushchairs. It is prob one of my least fav past times. When it goes wrong that is. Honestly i do need to get a grip. Thanyou my dear and i will show you some pics. Yes Olivia is 5 in July but she had huge amounts of room in the baby jogger and does in the elite. xxx

horsemadgal · 06/05/2010 11:20

Is it the shape of the back of seat basl? Just my DS1 had head room in Nipper at 4 but his head came way over back of seat and wasn't comfy as seat top that funny shape. But then he was 4 haaa!

nicolamumof3 · 06/05/2010 11:21

lol HMG! yes i don't worry so much about a 4yo's head over the back rest a 3yo maybe. right def off out now!!

FlyMeToDunoon · 06/05/2010 11:36

Basl you must have a puncture. Can DH fix that or have you got a friendly bike shop that can look at the tyres for you? You can just take the wheels along.
It's great to have other people being positive about where we are moving to. The rent is extortionate but we are paying for area and an extra room.
Done a recycling trip and put the DDs savings bank coins into coinstar- £8.51! Watered plants and hung a washing out. And Relax.

basl · 06/05/2010 11:38

Well here are the pics. Am i going loopy but i think he will not last till three in this. www.picturetrail.com/marieturner5@btinternet.
In the pushchair part.
He looks comfy sitting up but squished lying down and he is 20mth now. Lets have a vote please. HMG if the dakar had fitted out my door it would have been so perfect.

carrielou2007 · 06/05/2010 11:46

Morning (just)

Nicola how is Luka today is he better at all??

5inthebed sending you analgesic vibes for your head

Flymetodunoon huge scary thing you are doing sounds like a lovely area to move to, you will slot right in with all the other yummy mummies.

Basl which buggy is it there are lots of photos in there!! I would be straight on the ohone about those tyres??

Dry so far but meant to have heavy rain and thunder later so going to be naughty and drive dd to playgroup then to town to catch up with some friends whilst ds has his long afternoon sleep. Going to try him in the seat of the bug today that I leave in the car rather than he carrycot.

FlyMeToDunoon · 06/05/2010 11:47

Ok basl I'm sorry but I think you are right and it's too small for him.
Have you looked at other jane 3 wheelers? They all have nice big seats. Powertrack and Slalom.

FlyMeToDunoon · 06/05/2010 11:48

Carrielou
Right off to collect from nursery.

horsemadgal · 06/05/2010 12:22

basl you'll just need to get a BOB! One on eBay right now!
That's the only thing I didn't like about the Nipper, that shaped seat back. Oh and the faff of a fold!

basl · 06/05/2010 12:40

Hmg they do look good i have to admit. I have called plo and because they advised there has been few people mention about the wheels and i have only had it since yesteday they are going to allow a return. Phewwwww. What a pita i am. So the hunt is on and all the explanations ready for when my H asks where it has gone . Still now i have a brand new liner coming for a nipper and cuddle fleece blanket with apple on. Oopsy wonder if they will sell?

Divatheshopaholic · 06/05/2010 13:57

Afternoon all,
Been to towwn and got ds feet measured and got pair of geox for 35.
HMG, do you think it will be bidding war on Bob on ebay. I think, i will sit back and watch

OP posts:
basl · 06/05/2010 14:00

Hi Diva, I really like the geox trainers. Do you still have your bob?

Divatheshopaholic · 06/05/2010 14:18

Yep, still got Bob, nobody wnats it, there is one exact the same on ebay starting at 75, so i believe everyone watching it, and will ended up for more, so im going to wait and see what happens to that one.
Im Geox addict, He got 3 pairs in size 6, but now size 7.

OP posts:
horsemadgal · 06/05/2010 14:23

Hey Diva
Not sure re eBay BOB, not many people know about them so could be bargain. But if just 2 people want it then could go sky high.

maxybrown · 06/05/2010 15:54

Hi all, back from my day of product testing, had fabby day very very quite though, think a lot pf people didn't show up.

Basl - he looks huge in it. TBH James was looking big in Nipper - to me anyway, I think we all have diff ideas asto what looks ok but James has very long body so maybe that was it? Also you have been spoilt by size of Elite, James looks small again in it

5in hope you're feeling better - will email you!

No post for me today so no t shirt, STILL no volo or other things I am waiting for, bloomin post grrrrr.

nicolamumof3 · 06/05/2010 15:59

basl im looking for pic now of luka at that age in nipper!! he didn't look like that im sure? luka is average size height wise.
