Maxy did not want to mention volo as knew you've been having terrible time over blue buggy seller. Thought if I said 'volo' you would feel you had to let it go NOW and leave yourself without a buggy as too polite to say anything. Scenario me 'anytime is fine, ds can't use it yet' you 'no let me send it' me 'no no, no rush, don't leave yourself without' you 'no no problem' and being too nice about it. Unless of course you curse me everytime you trip over the blessed thing that is sat in your hall waitig for me to get my bum in gear to arrange courier?? Please let me know which is best, don't just be your polite self if you need it for a wee bit more will you tell me

maxybrown · 02/07/2010 23:32

morning my lovely ladies! what is everyone up to for the w/end?
really need to sell quest now deffo want black xt but must have new hinges

basl · 03/07/2010 08:07

Morning Nicola, how you feeling now? I have been up all night with my controlled crying mission. Daniel has discovered if he screams loud enough and shouts please mummy down stairs i give in. Well not last night. It is always around 4am but last night he screamed form 1am. I know he was well fed well watered and not too hot/cold and know it is a wee habit he has got into. I don't think he could believe it as his scream turned into sheer anger. Well he is still asleep now and i feel confident this will stop.

Lovely and sunny here this morning and Olivia going shopping with my mum and her big cousin Lauren for her Birthday presents. My mum does this with all the kids. She takes them out to toys r us with some spending money and then off for lunch. Olivia has asked if lauren can come too.She is so excited she will not stop talking about it this morning and think she is going to end up in bed with over excitement just like her mum gets. I used to be sick every Christmas and miss dinner as i would be so upset and cry because i got all worked up. Still the same to this day Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh thats what i am like when i am getting a new pushchair. Well i am still very happy with classic and bjcm combo but getting a wee shot of my sisters double nipper for power walking this week. Well walking anyway not so much power.

Have a great weekend everyone and i do recommend Carries "keep swimming keep swimming" it does wonders xxxxxx

5inthebed · 03/07/2010 08:11

Morning ladies. I've been up since half six and have scrubbed my cooker down lready . The excitement of moving is making me an insomniac.

Maxy, did you get a refund for the wheel?

nicolamumof3 · 03/07/2010 08:22

morning all again!

basl did that liner arrive yet? your dd sounds just totally adorable, hope she has a lovely day when is it her bday?

We had the same sleep probs with luka you have my symptathy.

get out in that sunshine and enjoy we are off to have breakfast outside. Can't believe we've had this warm weather now for a good few weeks good isn't it?

maxybrown · 03/07/2010 09:03

Morning all.

Ah Basl, bless her - I get soooooooooooo excited on birthdays and Christmas too I think you are right about Daniel too.

5in - no I didn't, PP said to return the whole thing to her, but wouldn't have trusted her as she basically accused me of trying anything to get money out of her and that (because I told her I had had about 30 second hand prams) it must be something I do often as whon on earth would want that many prams? dim wit. Anyway, bolke collected it and was happy and I closed PP case as no way was I sending it back as would have lost even more money.

Roasting here already - looking likely that next week we will have hosepipe ban as we are nearly all dried up in NW! Hop[e it doesn't go to standpipes though

We are off car hunting today........again.

basl · 03/07/2010 09:15

Nicola i missed post yesterday and will collect it next week so i think it will be the liner as i am not expecting anything else I should have listened to you ladies and ordered the things i liked from boden before the sale. How quick does it sell out eh?

Well we are all up now and dressed. Dh off to the gym and Olivia is dressed to go out for the day with her huge Hannah Montana shades on and holding her handbag so tight. I keep trying to tell her she is not going till 11am but she seems happy to sit like that till then Daniel on the other hand has his new george pig wellies on handy manny swimming trunks and waiting on the paddling pool to fill up. We asked him why he was crying last night and he replied." A go downstayars " bless him he knows he was at it. Still he has earned himself a day out with gran Jean on his birthday now after shopping yesterday. He was good as gold and really happy about the shops. She would never take him anywhere without me but she said she would definitely take him out for his 2nd Birthday on the 23rd. Yeeee haaaaa

Goodness i forgot how much i like to chat `

basl · 03/07/2010 09:19

Oh it's Olivia's birthday on the 4th of July which is tomorrow. So her dad will build her little office up tonight while i am out at wedding reception. She will be delighted with it.
Nicola sorry meant to say thankyou for posting the liner. It will come in very handy for the hols in Tenerife.

basl · 03/07/2010 09:28

Don't know about this thread being dead but it has been taken over by a very excitable person called basl!!!

maxybrown · 03/07/2010 09:32

Basl look at Boden again next week as people start to return things stock can quite often go back up! Unless it was something that had already sold out of course then very very little chance

basl · 03/07/2010 09:45

Ahhh i see. Its those little skorts i had my eye on for olivia and the tshirts i got from you the thinner ones i would like in the next size up. The heavy applique ones are bigger and will do a while but the other ones are on the smaller side but i love them. I will keep a look out.

sal1309 · 03/07/2010 13:15

5inthebed · 03/07/2010 20:41

Oh Nicola how annoying.

You going to buy an XT when it sells?

carrielou2007 · 03/07/2010 21:57

Evening all

I have been living up to my bag role and bought three today in Cath Kidston not always a fan as a lot of it is a wee bit twee for my taste but 118 pounds later...got a lovey bag in navy with white polka dots not a changing bag but perfect for denim/denim and denim/off white cams. Bought a blue flower bucket bag for me/hang over xt handles and a cowboys lunch bag with strap to put ds's food in on days out.

Took cash with my yesterday to buy Bee+ in JL but couldn't do it, just not for me

Glad you have a nice time sal, I so need some nice feeding bras insted of the thick strapped wonders I am sporting. Nice pink lacy thongs make me feel a bit better

Basl hope you are having alovely time tonight, your lovely children make me well up.

Maxy will sort out courier hopefully for mon but will let you know if that's ok just in case it is tues? What car are you after? I love German cars, miss my Golf GTI but too old for that now and my lovely BMW had to go in favour for the bus zafira

5inthebed any luck selling your holiday??

5inthebed · 03/07/2010 22:17

Three bags

Yes I sold it Carrie but at the same time. Still, itsmoney towards my new house!

basl · 04/07/2010 01:25

Well ladies i am in from my wedding reception and i had such a fantastic night. Really good company and i danced all night and lol all night. My cheeks, feet and head hurts. I have not had a spot of alcohol and loved every minute. I went out of my way to look good for this do and i went a bit mad. I bought a hair piece . So picture the scene when i went up stairs to get ready i had pj's on and hair tied back no make up. Then i appeared an hour later with a long fitted maxi dress, huge silver high heels, False nails, tan, and a head of hair i could not believe. It came attached to a clip and i put my hair up in to masses of tumbling curls as i have shoulder length heavily layered hair so this was amazing. So easy [for a hairdresser]. I had my bling on and my new make up. I felt so different. Well i walked downstairs to be met by Olivia and My dh. Olivia said i looked like a super star and she loved everything. She helped me fasten my shoes and remembered my perfume in my bag for me. My dh told me i looked absolutely stunning I have waited so long to hear that and i am still the same weight just a bit glamed up and happier. I was so happy tonight and never stopped smiling all night.

Sorry to go on but i just feel so pleased and very excited for Olivia's birthday tomorrow. She has asked a few friends to meet her at ceramic experience were they paint some pottery and have a party.

So off to bed now de glammed and in my pj's again. Hope you all have a great day tomorrow and speak soon xxxx

nicolamumof3 · 04/07/2010 07:41

Oh basl it takes alot to reduce me to tears at 7.30am in the morning so so so so happy for you. So glad your dh was wowed! You're on the road now my lovely!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday lovely Olivia Happy Birthday to you!! Have a fantastic day all of you.

FlyMeToDunoon · 04/07/2010 07:55

Morning all. Just caught up with all the chat.
Glad everyone seems to be sorted out, well and had good times. Plus some of you will be getting to do more pushchair shopping
Still lovely here as Nicola says. I had a very quiet rest day yesterday. Did very little apart from paint some garden furniture. Have sold the red kite baby chair on ebay and the other one I have, a danchair has bids. Selling them since I found two Stokke tripp trapps for a tenner each in charity furniture shop.
Need to find a sofa and an armchair now!

GeekOfTheWeek · 04/07/2010 11:25

Good morning all

I have been so busy the last few days.

basl, I bet you looked stunning. When are you going to tenerife? My mil goes every year.

maxy, are we still meeting thus? What car are you looking at? I want a new one. Got a bmw at the mo but fancy a 4x4. In fact, I may drag dh to look at them this afternoon

carrie, my new pink lining has arrived. I really like it. It goes perfectly with my airport outfit too!

5in, try selling the tickets on ebay or preloved. I would have been interested but can't do those dates.

carrielou2007 · 04/07/2010 13:16

I miss my BMW 4x4 it was gorgous but couldn't afford it with two children working part time Lol at matching your outfit I do that too

Basl so glad you had a lovely time and that you looked but more importantly FELT amazing. Happy Birthday Olivia

Walked to get my fruit in Aldi past the bumper to bumper traffic coming in for T4, hope it stays dry for them.

Just cried my eyes out watching Goobye Mr Chips, so lovely.
