Depends on style. Maybe I should try the G fitting for the Doodles? Can't get him sandals as he doesn't like sand and dirt on his feet .

nappyaddict · 27/03/2009 00:26

Will he not wear closed toe sandals? I only get closed toe sandals cos I think open toe ones are an accident waiting to happen when they are running and climbing about.

morning all! can't wait to hear about apples carrielou, you going today? must be a long journey tho for you?? can i have first dibs when you decide to sell please! im still undecided whether i like the apples or not lol!

dis hope you are feeling better today? bloody prams eh?

i love my boys in doodles as well, I got tate a b/new pair from ebay with the velcro for our hols, but i prefer luka in the buckle ones, i think i like the startrite styles best. i just got him some lovely canvas deck shoes from jojo's cost me £5.40! they are a bit like vans. really nice.

carrielou2007 · 27/03/2009 08:15

Morning!! Yes, getting apples today, looking forward to it! Hell if I hate it, it will easily sell (yes you have first dibs Nicola)!!

Got an xray as having trouble with my knee then we are going this morning. On the way home going to call in on a friend who lives in Gloucester to see her and her two little girls. May go shopping in John Lewis after check out the latest new pushchairs!1

FlyMeToDunoon · 27/03/2009 08:47

Morning all.
The usual pop in before I have to dash to nursery.
Finishing my cup of tea.

FlyMeToDunoon · 27/03/2009 08:51

Right off again.
Nice chatting to you.

nicolamumof3 · 27/03/2009 08:53

morning dunnoon and carrielou...can't wait to hear about the apples!

pebbles79 · 27/03/2009 09:59

Morning all. My Skate is getting picked up today so should hopefully have it on Monday, I hate having to wait the weekend! The Luna is getting picked up from me today and typically I forgot to pack the bumper bar!! So it's all wrapped in bubble wrap then taped to the side of the box with a few layers of brown paper over it all!

Morning.

Will probably get Tom a pair of closed toe sandals to try him with, but think he still won't like them!

sweetkitty · 27/03/2009 10:27

Morning everyone took the Luna out for the first time, DD3 liked it, I thought it was very light to push, getting it folded up again bit of a pain after a Maclaren. Have to phone M&P in a bit as I still cannot get the rear wheels off.

I agree Doodles are great, DD1 has been swayed by that awful Lelli Kelly advert that's on every 5 mins, I have found sparkly pink Sleeping Beauty Crocs though so she can have them plus I will get them both some Doodles as well.

peebles - oh shame you won't get the Skate unitl after the weekend and Carrielou getting the apples as well, is taht any more new prams this weekend ladies?

Disenchanted3 · 27/03/2009 10:34

Agreed to £16 refund but she is being very patronising

Apples is boxed up for collection, but have to go out so hope they come to collect before.

Disenchanted3 · 27/03/2009 10:37

Can she leave me negative after ive left her positive feedback?

nicolamumof3 · 27/03/2009 10:46

yes she can dis, i never leave feedback til im happy as a buyer or as a seller i never leave til the buyer has left theirs. iykwim?!

just been back to doctors with tate, he now has an ear infection. worn out looking after a poorly child and luka and tom! and no sleep last night. got to try and get to chemist now. i really need my p&t back today for tate!!!

oh i've got my new maclaren coming today i think SK!

sweetkitty · 27/03/2009 10:49

happy new Maclaren nicola, your poor wee man as well, hope he's better soon, I haven't been brave enough yet to take DD2 out on my own minus the P&T

Disenchanted3 · 27/03/2009 10:50

apparantly u cant neg a buyer

nicolamumof3 · 27/03/2009 11:03

no but they can leave a neg in a positive iykwim (neg comments?)

right going to drag tate out to chemists now hope he will walk and maybe get the boys some lunch out, its lovely and sunny here for now, first lot of washing nearly dry then have to iron it all later!

Disenchanted3 · 27/03/2009 11:07

sal1309 · 27/03/2009 12:33

Hello everyone

hope your all well.

Sweetkitty where do you find them crocs my dd would love some of them

Dis really sorry about the maclaren thats naff. If your looking for an apron ive got a friends here im supposed to be putting on ebay for her she is after £10 delivered if interested.

Well ive still not had my 4 seasons out of its box lol.

pebbles79 · 27/03/2009 12:38

Are you not going to use it then Sal?

Well Luna has just been picked up, DHL guy told me they don't really check the weight/dimensions of parcels so that's good to know! Told him I'd see him on Monday when he delivers my Skate! It's got so bad that he actually waves to me if he drives past me - I sell too many prams, lol!

OP posts:
BexieID · 27/03/2009 12:41

pebbles, I wonder if we both get the same DHL guy? Does he usually wear a cap?

pebbles79 · 27/03/2009 12:44

Yep, he does! He has dark hair and he's called Brian.

OP posts:
nicolamumof3 · 27/03/2009 12:48

lol mine's like that too, tho i have started using parcelforce now!

tates crashed out on sofa luka's not eating so much atm, just going to take him up for nap, unpack my nice new shiny maclaren thats arrived and make myself some lunch. oh and then i have a huge mountain of ironing to do. yuck!

BexieID · 27/03/2009 12:53

Not sure of his name but DP knows him from when he used to work in a shop and took in deliveries. Probably is the same guy though, lol.

FlyMeToDunoon · 27/03/2009 13:26

My Parcelforce guy is really friendly and waves to me when we pass the van.

Haven't seen him for a while though because no pushchairs sold and have used parcel2go with DHL. One DHL guy was very unresponsive and I thought he was grumpy but began to wonder if he was Polish when he actually did speak one day.

nicolamumof3 · 27/03/2009 13:56

yep my dhl guy is polish dunoon!!! same one no doubt.

Maclaren quest has arrived!! LOVE it, so bright and funky for summer, plus the lime matches buggysnuggle perfectly, much better for me than the apples. i do love quests so light but still a nice comfy seat. im happy....at last and for now!
