yes 5in - that is true, it is up to her who she sells it to. But I think roasted had asked for dibs though - I have had messages from people before saying "but I asked for dibs" so same kind if thing - in fact that happened with the BJCM with Nicola! I think the issue was (and this is from reading back as I didn't have a bloody clue!) that roasted asked about it a few times and was ignored and felt miffed, then it didn't end up selling blah blah blah.

Anyway, yes best out in the open - no one needs to be miserable over a well used XT surely? Especially here!

Anyway - Nicola - get your arse back on here

Was thinking about you this morning 5in when listening to the news. Seemed from the news that they didn't have much of an idea where he could be - but then who knows from the news eh??

Hi, inclined to agree with you 5in

I have had a hard night too,about once a month I spend hours rubbing DD's legs and feet in the night while she cries and throws herself around (not really awake)
It will happen two or three times in the night.I can only think that it is growing pains.

Then to pop it off the -twat- lovely man next door sets his alarm for 5 and doesn't get up til 6.30.The alarm goes off the whole time.With the windows open it's like it's going off in my bedroom grrrrrrrrr

lillypie · 06/07/2010 09:17

oops meant to cross that out

5inthebed · 06/07/2010 10:27

Oh Lillypie, DS1 gets rowing paisn in his legs about that as well. I rub them and give him some nurofen to help with th pain. He i often in tears when he gets them, poor boy.

DS3's egg head is a lovely shade of blue

FlyMeToDunoon · 06/07/2010 10:30

Lillypie that HBB is rated highly by which and is a bargain. I am keeping DD3 in her car seat this summer if she visits Grandma. Humming gently over DD2 though as I have done a little searching on simple boosters for smaller children and they are not as protective obviously. Grandma is of the old school and would have them all swinging around free in the back like her children did in the olden days 1970s so she will think that I am mad if I get an HBB for her.

concealer 5in?

On the XT thing, Roasted's points seem to be that Nicola ignored her and that she went on to try and sell for profit. Yes?
Well on the first point did Nicola not think that Roasted had found one? And Knowing Nicola as we do surely she would not just ignore purposely. Maybe didn't read back through all posts or communicated by email?
Secondly as has been said and I think can be repeated selling on ebay for profit has usually been seen as acceptable.
Plus I would like to say that to get annoyed over a well used XT seems daft.

Buying on here to sell on ebay for profit is the same as buying on ebay to sell on here for profit in my eyes.
The fact that soemone else had dibs only made matters worse!

FlyMeToDunoon · 06/07/2010 11:05

It is not the same imo.
MN is a community and members tend to 'know' each other.
Ebay is a business place where you are trying to make money.

Nicola did not buy to sell on for profit.

'Dibs' is not some binding agreement and from what I can gather Nicola was under the impression that Roasted had found something else.

5inthebed · 06/07/2010 11:08

What Dunoon said.

horsemadgal · 06/07/2010 11:17

She said herself she needs to sell for profit.

FlyMeToDunoon · 06/07/2010 11:19

Yes after she had decided the XT was not for her.

Morning all,

I have no idea what has happened re the xt so won't be joining in the discussion as i have no informed opinion.

Not ok to sell for profit on here but thought it was ok on ebay as it isn't 'personal' iyswim.

What time and where are we meeting on Thus? How can i lose 2 stone before then?!

5inthebed · 06/07/2010 11:21

And that was why she wasn't going to sell it on here. She told Roasted there was a cheap on on the pram board she goes on if she wanted it.

Anyway, back to prams, I want a 3 wheel Luna Mix with blue hood, or maybe green.

horsemadgal · 06/07/2010 11:25

Well you have your opinions and I have mine.

Nicola put the XT on ebay because she knew she could make a profit on it, it was never advertised here like all her other buggies.
Also she ignored roastedfox just so she could make a profit.

Think it's me that needs the break from here, dont even know why I am bothered. Need back to my work I think.

FlyMeToDunoon · 06/07/2010 11:30

Well I am off on the nursery run. I am like a blue arsed fly today as friends coming to stay today and much tidying required. Have been posting between emptying and filling dishwasher and hanging up washing.
I've said my piece and after some pimms this afternoon I hope to be very chilled about EVERYTHING!

5inthebed · 06/07/2010 11:36

HMG, please don't feel you need to take a break. We are all entitled to our opinions.

I've got a new love of Pimms Dunoon after having some the other weekend. I might buy myself a bottle for when I move and enjoy it in my garden

GeekOfTheWeek · 06/07/2010 11:52

Is it too early for wine?!

5in, a woman on the school run has a 3 wheeled lunamix with a yellow hood. It looks really nice. I had a cress coloured luna but hated it. Felt like the front wheels weren't on the floor when pushing

Divatheshopaholic · 06/07/2010 12:03

Well, XTgate is still going strong
I think, we all done in the past bought and sold for profit with or without intention.
Roasted missed the XT in the first place and asked for dibs.Its not like Nicola must sell it to her, it could have been better if she emailed her and told her she cleaned and scrubbed it and would like to sell on ebay. Then im sure Roasted could have left it in peace.
Horsemadgirl, dont need to leave. If you leave, i will leave Why are we leaving anyway?

Divatheshopaholic · 06/07/2010 12:04

Geek, i thought i emailed you Did you get it, or have i emailed someone else with the same first name

horsemadgal · 06/07/2010 12:06

LOL Diva, I'm not leaving. I probably do need a break but doesn't mean I'll take it.

Disenchanted3 · 06/07/2010 12:15

I've seen Nicola claim 'But I thought I had dibs' a few times,

so seems odd she would ignore Rfs claims to dibs when she akways grabs dibs on stuff.

Well, no, not odd, but unfair.

Especially then going on to sell for profit on ebay.

I've got no problem personally with things being sold for more on ebay, its the ignoring of roasted that I think is the issue here really and the fact Nic always claims dibs on things herself.

FlyMeToDunoon · 06/07/2010 13:29

dib dib dib!

Maybe Nicola did email Roasted.
And if you all leave then I'm leaving too

Got a good mind to go and put dibs on everything on the boards
Sorry think I'm a bit hyper and need to eats some lunch.

5inthebed · 06/07/2010 15:57
