I like the idea of Snunkie cp's being quick to be posted!

I like spots40 or spots43. I might need to but one

nicolamumof3 · 07/04/2009 19:27

sweetkitty · 07/04/2009 20:11

nicola - no wonder you are feeling stressed and tearful, you poor thing

FlyMeToDunoon · 07/04/2009 20:49

Not read whole of back messages but am skimming.

Here's a hug for you Nicola.
try not to worry.

Hello everyone else. I am so tired. Going to bed soon if DP watches footie. If not I may try and keep awake through CSI.

nicolamumof3 · 07/04/2009 20:49

hi dunoon, how you doing? did you have a good time?

5intheEgg · 07/04/2009 20:51

Oh Nic, you don't need a slap, you need a hug and a glass of wine

Not surprised you're feeling a bit blue, redundancy isn't a nice thing. Although I wanted my redundancy last year I was still sad when it happened as I loved my little job.

Chin up hun x

FlyMeToDunoon · 07/04/2009 21:00

I had a good time with friends-drinking wine and nosying around new house of one of them.

Saw my mum,brother and sister which was nice too.

DD2 had a whale of a time playing with friend's dog. i think they wore each other out.

BUT it was so intense with DD because I was with her 24 hrs a day. She was nervous going to bed on her own in strange house so stayed up late every night. Still woke early though. Got grumpy early afternoon because tired. Couldn't settle to nap anywhere. Dog was a life saver!

Hi All,

how is everyone? Am still waiting for PP to go through for 03 but buyer has'nt left feedback yet and has'nt contacted me to say she got it this morning.

Hope she sends it soon because I really want to get BJCM soon!

nicolamumof3 · 07/04/2009 21:53

fingers crossed it goes through tomorrow!

horsemadgal · 08/04/2009 09:32

Morning all, where are you all?

5intheEgg · 08/04/2009 11:32

Took my XT out today. Love it . Its so easy to push, plus I had an extra kid in tow, went around Tescos and managed to get the bus with heaps of shopping. I'm not sure on the raincover though .

its really windy and cold here today, where has all the lovely weather gone?

nicolamumof3 · 08/04/2009 11:43

oh i love the new 09 xt raincovers. fold up nice and small they won't rip or tear so easy.

BexieID · 08/04/2009 11:45

I've just hung some washing out as the sun has been out. Bet i'll be getting it in soon, lol.

The black Micralite has gone, didn't use it in the end . Just need to get MB sold now.

5intheEgg · 08/04/2009 11:47

I just dont like the silver bit at the bottom, should be black for the black on blak in my mind. Not to worry, its the only "flaw" in the design. Sumo loves it, he is extra snug with the footmuff, although not sure it'll fit by next winter, smaller than I thought.

Can't wait to get the micrlite tomorrow now Bexie, 2 new prams in a week, I'm in pram heaven

nicolamumof3 · 08/04/2009 11:54

i think the footmuffs are quite big unless they've made them smaller? luka easily fitted in maclaren one at 18m?

i think its to co ordinate with the sliver reflective bit.

im glad you like it otherwise i do think they are so comfy for little ones. just been to p.o in the sun its quite nice out. we are making cupcakes this afternoon for easter!!

mamadiva · 08/04/2009 11:57

Morning all,

No sun here today just rain , Bexie I won't be able to make it down next month as I got a job and dont want to ask for time off so soon but Dp and DS will still be down, a weekend of freedom

Still no Paypal or feedback or even an email to say it has been recieved am a bit because I did say when she recieved to let me know and if she wouldnt mind leaving feedback ASAP as I had to pay £25 postage from my own pocket which has left me pretty skint ATM.

Have listed XT though so here's hoping.

OP posts:
nicolamumof3 · 08/04/2009 12:03

have you contacted her? why did you have to pay extra postage mama?

volo just collected! back down to two prams. v.happy.

5intheEgg · 08/04/2009 12:13

Nicola, why are you selling your Quest? What you after now

Mamadive, did they pay by echeque on PP?

mamadiva · 08/04/2009 12:14

I emailed yesterday to say I got PF email saying she had recieved and could she leave feedback if all was okay as I needed the money.

I had to pay £20.99 to post the pram with ParcelForce48 plus materials I said £25 but ended up spending a tenner atleast on packaging materials so am a bit out of pocket but tis my fault.

OP posts:
mamadiva · 08/04/2009 12:16

Not that I know of 5in, it is on hold for 21 days or until I receive positive feedback on teh item. Really can't wait 21 days for it.

Is a PITA and then I realised have to pay a tenner in fees to ebay so am a bit pissed off a bout it all.

OP posts:
5intheEgg · 08/04/2009 12:17

Ah right, is it the new PP thing where they don't release the money unless you get positive feedback? That sucks!

nicolamumof3 · 08/04/2009 13:00

yep if you have low feedback stars isn't it?

lets hope they leave positive soon?

don't think i am selling quest tbh, just wanted some funds. just bought a buggyboard, as decided do really need one. bnib del for £37.50 and its a maxi one so should fit on both pushchairs, need to find some cheap connectors.

mamadiva · 08/04/2009 15:27

Don't like those buggy board things look like they make it awkward to push a pram.

I think it is if the transaction is over a certain amount they have to hold it, everything else I have sold has been fine and went through that day.

Put my XT up for BIN of £65 with pushchair plus Zorbit footmuff. Has 4 watchers so far so hopefully it'll go.

OP posts:
nicolamumof3 · 08/04/2009 17:35

i don't like them either mama but its got to be easier than trying to carry a three year old and push a 21m old lump in pram!!

mamadiva · 08/04/2009 17:54

LOL true Nic, don't you get attachments with the board?

Tis a bit daft is it not?
