morning all

basl i think i have got my hands full but think it will calm down once we have all the initial tots group stuff done.

I am also going to apply for a small bar job it will literally be a few hours every week but thought it might be nice to get out of the house and have a few pennies in my pocket.

I want a custom hood for my stokke anyone know where i could get one?

right better get off to preschool then off to the friday tots group for the first time, also got to go to the po.

Dont forget girls free listing this weekend on ebay !!

Divatheshopaholic · 07/05/2010 09:14

Sal, thats great idea to go out and do couple of hours. I have been looking for something to do for years. Even Tesco check out job is like gold dust here.
Just received email from Boden about Boden local party
Anyone been one before?

Morning all!

just had flyer they are opening white co. shop in t/wells...oooh v.tempting lol

all good here luka screamed place down didn't want daddy to go to work wasn't impressed at nursery either but bumped iinto mum from nursery about half an hour later and said luka was fine. Always the way!

just got some ironing to do as always. bought some flat sheets which have been washed and need a good pressing. oh the joys!!

can't wait for pics of volo maxy!

basl i didn't mean that your ds was HUGE hope you didn't take it wrong way im sorry just couldn't believe that nipper looked small if anything. I am still interested in nipper liner btw if you could do me pics when it arrives please?

basl · 07/05/2010 10:34

Nic of course not it was all the pics i did and all the response made me think poor daniel it was like something at the circus. No my stupid fault.
Nic the liner not arrived. It is the same apples as your blanket and on back hoopla retro circles in green turq black white. I will send you pics.

nicolamumof3 · 07/05/2010 11:28

great thanks basl.

i think i want apples and stars on reverse tho..but can't afford a bn atm particularly when i barely use nipper. must get that quest listed again but can't quite bear to!!

5inthebed · 07/05/2010 11:36

Quest in transit, although it says with possible delay and also says changed courier

Basl, just keep the Nipper. For what you want to use it for, it will do.

Sal, try Chunckle Munkle for hood. Or maybe Snunkie?

nicolamumof3 · 07/05/2010 13:15

diva been meaning to ask how ds is getting on with toilet training?

just back from nursery run then walked up to my friends to drop in card for her and to p.o and superdrug getting more bits and pieces for hols.

came home and lovely purple shorts from next are here..they are gorgeous for luka! Now i want/need the yellow and green!!!

maxy has volo arrived?
5in who did you use for courier?

5inthebed · 07/05/2010 13:18

Quest has arrived. Looks ok. Hole in hood tiny. Back wheel clicks though, so need to look at that. Needs a wash as well. But other than that, its great. Will fit into the boot quite nicely and leave loads of room.

5inthebed · 07/05/2010 13:19

Nicola, used P4D/DHL. DHL delivered it, not my usual bloke , so no eye candy for me today. Woman delivery person said theyve changed the way they deliver now, so different depot deals with it.

nicolamumof3 · 07/05/2010 13:28

oh thats a shame about driver 5in?

may be brakes sticking a bit? a good clean bit of oil should sort it? at least covers can all go in machine so nice and clean for the little man. Gorgeous fabrics for summer!

5inthebed · 07/05/2010 13:34

Yes, think its just hte brakes. Will WD40 it later. The fabric is lovely, nice and bright.

carrielou2007 · 07/05/2010 13:44

Nice having new buggy 5inthebed

I went back to local baby shop today drop off lots of clothes (they sell them for you) and to get the nipper but it had sold, not that I really wanted the fixed wheel but for such a cheap price thought it was worth a go.

My YM bag has arrived and it is totaly totally gorgous but it is pink same style as my lovely new green one so going ot be greedy and keep both to keep swapping over. I like that I can carry this over my shoulder and they look for like a handbag than a pink changing bag for ds.

Hang on Gordon Brown update on...

maxybrown · 07/05/2010 19:08

Hello all - well I've had a day i can tell you!! Spent the day with my friend and her charges for fostering! I feel so sorry for her, they have really thrown her in at the deep end. Enjoyed myself though.

Anyway, DH picks us up and in fine mood but tired and so I thought oh gawd, will be million and one stupid questions about the volo when we get home.

I get home to see it sitting in next doors porch (through the window) DH says dying for the loo so I encourage him to run off to that while I dash next door, grab box, shove it behind settee - lol. Then he comes down and goes outside so I shoved it under our bed........still in box aaaaarrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!! I cannot possibly look at it properly with him tut tutting over my shoulder - I mean that in the nicest way mind, he is lovely

maxybrown · 07/05/2010 19:09

Carrie t shirt came - lovely thank you!! James very pleased! Glad I went for 3/4 - tis same width as Boden 2/3 but about 2cm longer so perfect

BexieID · 07/05/2010 19:34

maxy, all DP said regarding the Skate was 'I wish you'd read the instructions', when we were trying to fold it down on monday, lol. I've still not worked out how to fold the seat bit up on the chassis yet

nicolamumof3 · 07/05/2010 20:59

evening all where is everyone?

bex can you not download instructions from m&p?

5inthebed · 07/05/2010 22:23

Evening everyone.

Love your style Maxy, thats something I would do.

I've just gotten in from shopping! Would have done it earlier, had some woman not smashed into the side of my car . Totally admitted it was her fault to police, so hopefully insurance will be fine.

BexieID · 07/05/2010 22:35

oh dear 5in! Didn't someone go into you a couple of months back?

nicola, lady printed off instructions for me, lol

5inthebed · 07/05/2010 22:43

Yes , I am so unlucky! Maybe I should just give up driving and get the bus again.

BexieID · 07/05/2010 23:57

Don't do that. You can't help other peoples numptyness!

nicolamumof3 · 08/05/2010 08:34

oh no 5in..as long as you are ok tho?

morning all.

daddy toddler group this morning so i am having couple hours shopping to myself...bliss!!

then we are away tonight to wedding reception. Decided i'd be more comfortable in black trousers then dress i've bought

5inthebed · 08/05/2010 09:34

We are all fine thanks Nicola. Although I hurt my ankle falling downa hole in the road, that hurts more lol.

Was meant to be goin to the SN toy library today, but it's a 45+ minute bus journey, don't think I can be bothered.

Boys currently tidying their bedroom, although they're arguing as well.

I've been up with the larks, done 2 hours worth of ironing and have a load in washer and load in dryer already.

carrielou2007 · 08/05/2010 09:42

Morning all.

5inthebed how horible for you all even though you are all unhurt it is the 'what if's' along with all the hassle it causes you

Very gloomy looking here, we were going to meet my friend in Bristol today and go shopping but not sure if I can be bothered, may just go to huge indoor play barn insted.

Done my ironing this morning, chilly so didn't open the window and the steam has given my fringe a bit of a kink!!

Lost a stone and two pounds, loss is slowing down now though I know that's how it should be, I'm just impatient to feel like 'me' again. Need to lose another stone to get back to where I was but would like to be another stone less.

basl · 08/05/2010 10:07

5in that's such a shame about the car. Don't you give up not your fault .
Nicola hope you have a great night with your dh and sure you will look amazing.

Carrie good for you with the weight loss!!!
Sal thankyou so so much for that little gift you sent me. That really made me smile this morning. You are most welcome.

nicolamumof3 · 08/05/2010 13:32

Ah thanks basl i would be happier in trousers but can't find any that are right. so dress it is.

been shopping this morning as dh took boys to dads toddler group. he's just gone for haircut and luka is packing his case for nanny's!
