nicolamumof3 · 28/03/2009 14:16

i love it so much now, just wondering if i need the cath kidston after all, as this is red and spotty!

Disenchanted3 · 28/03/2009 15:38

can get one of these in dark grey covers, 80 delivered

carrielou2007 · 28/03/2009 16:01

Dis buy my black quest - it's on ebay under Maclaren Black quest Mod or my ebay name is the same and I have found the raincover though there is a tiny rip in it. Doesn't let in the rain. 40 plus post.

Got dd 2 new pairs of shoes it's a factory outlet so only 18 pounds a pair (only but better than shop prices). Also got her some trousers in Gap, some boots in Timberland and a few bits from M and S.

All I got was a pair of bikini bottoms the same as what I already have that have a little hole in. Then went to Next sale, nothing!!

nicolamumof3 · 28/03/2009 16:16

i don't like that im afraid dis, think its alot of money, even £80 i think its the white frame???

i've got a quest raincover if anyone wants £6.50 del.

Hi everyone

I know I have'nt been on for ages but knew I would be envious of you lot

DS is starting to hate pushchairs so XT probably won't last long with him either am gutted as I really wanted to try a City Mini but heyho am selling the 03 Sport as he's too big for that.

My pushchair days are well and truely over... ach well was fun while it lasted LOL.

And on the off chance that someone may be interested in the 03 Pics here

Disenchanted3 · 28/03/2009 16:23

you paid 30 though?

ill take it for 30 plus post as its had another owner (you lol) since it was 30 quid so has gone down in value not up, lol. :s

nicolamumof3 · 28/03/2009 16:24

hiya mama, nice to see you back. i was interested in o3 but you know me can't wait, so i bought a nipper 360 which i adore! i'd hang on to xt its always good to have a pushchair, i had one for tom til he started school! you do need them when they are ill or out all day? how old is ds? i badly missed my p&t this week as tates been poorly and not up to walk anywhere.

mamadiva · 28/03/2009 16:29

Hey Nicola, my mum has the twin 360 for my sisters and she LOEVES it. I was going to get the Nipper to start but they only had 03 in stock LOL.

DS is only 2.9YO so still plenty of use I reckon on days out etc as you say handy to have but not worth getting abother although current situation with bloody so called footbridge down street the CM would be FANTASTIC!

Its a pain they have ripped down the old footbridge that was there and replaced it with a big kind of step bridge taht you see at train stations so being able to fold pushchair quickly is great XT is goood for that but CM would be even easier

nicolamumof3 · 28/03/2009 16:31

sposed to be good sized seat to on the BJCM

mamadiva · 28/03/2009 16:31

My friend has one of those weird tandem pushchairs for her DD's it has a big built in bit for the toddler to stand on murder to push around but handy she hated teh P&T so only used until youngest was 8 months.

mamadiva · 28/03/2009 16:32

That's part of what I like about it but can't justify it especially as we are skint.

Disenchanted3 · 28/03/2009 16:32

just bought another bee

Disenchanted3 · 28/03/2009 16:32

or think i have, lol.

nicolamumof3 · 28/03/2009 16:32

lol dis!!! why???? ha,ha!

Disenchanted3 · 28/03/2009 16:34

thin wings
cheap lol

mamadiva · 28/03/2009 16:36

Wonder if I could swap my 03 or XT for CM?!

nicolamumof3 · 28/03/2009 16:37

its fara's isn't it, it will be lovely, you know she's selling a nice blue camo chunkle munkle set for it too? bargain, will be nice for your ds!!!

mama you might get £90 or £100 for both so you might get a s/hand one? i will keep an eye out if you do sell them both!

carrielou2007 · 28/03/2009 16:39

That's right Dis and as I said before it was a pick up only so I had to spend 15ish in fuel to get it. Plus like everyone else on here sometimes you buy at a great price and sell on for a few quid more. Mind you if you've bought another Bee you naughty thing you're not going to want it!!

mamadiva · 28/03/2009 16:40

Yeah I need ot have one on stand by obv cant get rid of both until I have new one am just being fussy

I do like XT only problem is that DS keeps putting his feet on the wheels at the front and makes it a pain to push.

Disenchanted3 · 28/03/2009 16:41

ill be selling my bee though

probly sell with pink footmuff too

Sawyer64 · 28/03/2009 17:12

Hello ladies,how would you rate this Courier service?

I bought my Triumph off of Ebay on Sunday evening.As requested I paid via PayPal promptly that evening.

The info that the seller had said was £14.00 Courier (parcelforce 24)

I await some acknowledgement etc. and get nothing until Wednesday.She apologised for delay in contacting but that she works on Mon&Tues live in with no internet access.Fair enough.

She tells me she has "posted it" off Wednesday and I should receive it before the weekend.

I'm still waiting and have tracked the parcel,it will arrive Monday now,and if I'm out I will have to pay another £5 to arrange Redelivery.

I E Mailed parcelforce,to be told it was arranged on Wednesday at 7pm,picked up Thursday and was a 48 hr service,so because of the weekend will arrive Monday.

I've been managing without a buggy for my 2 yr old all week.

nicolamumof3 · 28/03/2009 17:16

i'd email her saying all this, if it was on 24 you should have had it? i would be after partial refund, what does her dispatch time say on ebay tho depends when she said she would dispatch it?

i've had my fingers burnt now like this so i check first when they will dispatch. personally i dispatch next working day after payment on 48hr service. but then i don't work full time.

carrielou2007 · 28/03/2009 17:26

If you are not in parcelforce can either take it to their depot or to your nearest post office. What she may have done is posted it at her post office. I do this as I can't stay in for courier as I'm at work, but they don't have 24 only 48 so maybe she got it wrong? Or she could just be a twit?

BexieID · 28/03/2009 17:39

I saw a Skate today! Unfortunately I was working, but did lean over the checkout and eyed it up/down. I did explain to the poor girl what I was doing, lol. Need a better look at the 'basket' and obviously a nice wee push around.
