Hi all, not been on for a while (lots of stuff going on but now have long weekend off due to Easter - yay!)

Nicola hope you are feeling bit better today, you have a lot on your mind and you are not being daft at all Xmas Smile

mamadiva that is such a pain, if only the buyer would leave feedback you get your money straightaway Xmas Smile

I don't want any buggies at the mo, have black quest to sell, zapp (think will sell), new pink triumph to sell, love pink volo, love apples quest and love black xt but will sell it soon prob.

What will be my 'thing' now??!! Xmas Grin

Bexie, have you got c drive yet?

BexieID · 08/04/2009 19:10

Not yet. Won't be able to pay the rest of it until May unless I sell the urban first. With all thats going on with this auction business and Dell making redundancies again it's at the back of my mind atm. Toms b/day party and trying to get the Lightening McQueen cake I like in Asda is proving to be a bit mission impossible!

FlyMeToDunoon · 08/04/2009 20:09

Mamadiva did you get the strap?

Hi all.

Am tempted to try and get a good condition xt as my back is killing me and I don't think the volo is doing it any good whatsoever.

carrielou2007 · 08/04/2009 20:20

FlyMe I find that, we went out for a walk to Morrisons after work tonight and took quest and on the way home dd is in the buggy and it's loaded down with shopping and being low and me being tall (and from being at work wearing heels) drives me potty!

FlyMeToDunoon · 08/04/2009 20:25

At the beginning of October I had a 2007 xt and was happy.
Discovered MN and all hell breaks loose-have had 10 or so pushchairs since then and am thinking of getting an xt again!

LOL!

sweetkitty · 08/04/2009 20:39

hi quiet in here today, how is everyone I am loaded with the cold.

Took the Luna out again today and still feels rickety on the wheels, think it's my version cannot wait to get the Luna Mix, order status still says the 20th, that AGES away

Nicola - I could really do with a buggy board as well but am too poor after buying the Mix. Don't know if it would fit on it anyway with the sloping sides.

ladylush · 08/04/2009 21:02

Hi SK - long time no see
Right, need some advice........
17 weeks pg so have time on my side - which may or may not be a good thing where pushchair selection is concerned
I have a Maclaren Techno classic which I bought when I had ds. It's been in the garage for a couple of years but will be fine. So buggy taken care of. I need a pram that converts to a sturdy pushchair. Ideally one that I can attach a car seat to. It doesn't have to be one hand fold etc as I will be using it mainly for walking around town. I am anticipating a large/long baby if ds is anything to go by so I need to factor that in as well. I don't want any fancy three wheelers and it doesn't have to be hi-tech. Would consider buying second-hand.

ladylush · 08/04/2009 21:03

SK - hope your cold goes soon.

BexieID · 09/04/2009 09:05

It's peeing down with rain and i'm meeting the mums from toddlers at the station and we're all getting the train to goto soft play. Just need Tom to get up, lol. He's been up early the last 2 days but when I want him up he's not, lol.

ARGH serious problem here, XT sold BUT still don't have money for the 03 so can't bloody well pay for BJCM which means I have to send of XT and do without a pram. Will struggle to pay for postage of XT in the first place.

I emailed the lady last night to say could she leave feedback ASAP as I am desperate for the money but still nothing. Ams o annoyed, and yes I know that XT is my own fault. Do you think because it's easter I could get away with posting on Tuesday?

nicolamumof3 · 09/04/2009 09:51

Booked courier for Tuesday and let lady know that because of Easter it was either today which is a no no or Tuesday so should'nt eb a prob.

It's Fi that's selling BJCM so I asked if I could send her £30 through Paypal now and £50 on delivery as I don't have anything in Paypal that I can use, although there is £167 sitting there

No more Ebay for big things for me...

Crap, have just realised that items are not going down as sent because I don't print my postage labels.

Will that make any difference?

Not a good day today LOL.

OP posts:
FlyMeToDunoon · 09/04/2009 10:26

Mamadiva I just delete my items that need posted and that seems to be ok. After all not everybody has a printer.

Strap?

Drizzle here and one small DD coughing horribly, one just getting better after the high temperature and sore throat and one who has painted all round her mouth with not vey easy to clean off paint. Fab!

Can't complain I guess.

Aww cute LOL, I got the strap yesterday thank you.

Could not remember for the life of me who sent it .

I feel bad now getting you to send that and then selling the pram. Do you need it back?

OP posts:
FlyMeToDunoon · 09/04/2009 10:35

No it sat in a drawer for about 3 years since I had a triumph. I took the strap off straight away and never used it. Sell it if you want.

mamadiva · 09/04/2009 10:43

I have just put it on pushchair might as well I guess. Feel guilty though. LOL.

I am sitting here in the hope that buyer might actually leave feedback so I can get money, Not going to ahppen though guess I will have to wait the 21 days, I wonder if it's 21 from payment?

bumbo came today, Rors loves it :)

'm also very excited as Im getting a custom Bee hood and liner made for free, woohooo, just have to cover fabric

Am having red hood with white spots and black liner with white spots.

sweetkitty · 09/04/2009 16:08

mamadiva - nightmare about paypal I didn't realise that, hope you get your feedback soon

ladylush - hello and lovely to see you and many congratulations on your pregnancy, so you are after a pram then pushchair? I am not an expert so many on here are much more expert than me, are you thinking of something like a M&P Pramette? I like the look of the Luna with carrycot too.

Bunk beds have arrived, DDs are so excited they keep bouncing on the mattresses.

carrielou2007 · 09/04/2009 16:09

Hi all, chucking it down all day here. Had to take my car to garage which is 20 miles away as keys keep 'forgetting' what they are so I can't lock/unlock the car using the remote so then went shopping. Apples quest drove me mad - better stick to XT and keep quest just for holidays!

We were in and out of the car and it was light and easy to put up and down but will keep the volo for in the car.

Strange thing happened in M and S - paying for some jeans and the assistant is asking me if I want a M and S card, she tells me all about it and I am thinking that does sound really good, I might get one and she's chattering away, fills in part of the form for me etc.

I walk away when she gives me the bag she chases after me as I left my card in the machine. I few shops later I think did I actually put my pin number in?? I don't think I did!! I have checked in the bag and there is no receipt in there - I feel like a criminal!! I'll have to get a card now out of guilt!!

sweetkitty · 09/04/2009 16:15

Dis - she is gorgeous
