my mom sold her pram exactly the same 10 years ago before DS1 we were walking in the park yesterday with the 3 children moaning about how we should have kept that pram it would be perfect for walking the dog rain and shine

if you get one can I come and have a push???

Tutter · 06/04/2008 13:34

you do know that a mclaren techno xt is all you need, don't you?

(i know you do)

Tutter · 06/04/2008 13:35

lol

there will be two schools of thought on this

cod and i (and other naysayers) hollering and shaking our heads

another group coo-ing ooh-ing and ahghh-iong

McDreamy · 06/04/2008 13:36

You are so right about just needing a Maclaren though Tutter

misdee · 06/04/2008 13:36

i know it wont fit in my car, i know it will take up half my hallway and i know they are big. but i can dream.

i have no room.

i know a techno will fit in my car.

i was thinking of scouting car boot sales for one. not a brand new one. or even one of ebay.

a lady at the school has one and its sooo dreamy

too expensive
too mahoosive

and round here they tend to be filled with junk and pushed by mad bag ladies, which is probably not the image you are trying to project .

misdee · 06/04/2008 13:37

(i don't actually know which of the above you have, i'm guessing)

peanutbear · 06/04/2008 13:37

er not quite 50 years ago misdee I am only in my early 30's

CarGirl · 06/04/2008 13:38

go on buy mine and finish restoring it tis yummy and so handy for daytime naps in the corner, bigger than a moses basket so much more yummy than a naff techno xt

Tutter · 06/04/2008 13:38

"yummy"

yummy

misdee · 06/04/2008 13:39

pmsl at quimmy.

i am actually trying to find soemthing to double up as buggy and moses basket.

and trying to get dd1+2 back to sharing a room so #4 can go in with dd3. i figure that age gap will work better than putting baby in with dd1 (dd2+3 currently share).

misdee · 06/04/2008 13:40
