yep i think she is. as am i tbh, put its still nice to chat. im dithering over swapping the quest for a zapp again (miss my zapp) but otherwise im happy with what i've got!

FlyMeToDunoon · 12/04/2009 11:48

Well I come here and at least people know who I am and acknowledge me and I can have a conversation and hopefully no major rucks will begin over someones coments.

When you can resist the different pushchairs you are fine here!

FlyMeToDunoon · 12/04/2009 12:08

FlyMe kills thread and is left in a dessert of broken Graco travel systems on her own.

Disenchantegg3 · 12/04/2009 12:21

Morning.

I need to have a major clear out,

my house is a buggy accessory graveyard!

And don't even get me started on the toys ... and clothes!

Id do a carboot but don't have a car!! PMSL.

Can't face ebay already overdue fees, grrrr.

Going to have to get DH to sell some starwars stuff to raise holiday funds!

Usually I just sell a buggy, but really happy with XT and am NOT NOT NOT selling bee!

I need to sort my twin Techno out, hopefully get rid of that asap.

And need to stop buying DD No added sugar clothes ( they are 2nd hand from ebay - in my defence!)

FlyMeToDunoon · 12/04/2009 13:06

Hi dis.
Glad to hear from you.
I know what you mean about the stuff.
We don't have a car either. It's difficult.

Stil good to have a clear out. I like to clear out, it helps to clear my head.
Gonna go roll eggs now.

BexieID · 12/04/2009 13:48

Thanks everyone . Tom got this ride on jeep as his main pressie.

Am & at DP as he is lying in bed atm with the start of a cold. I feel naff as well but thought he's make more of an effort as it's Toms b/day! He sulked in the bedroom yesterday when the party was on. Grr.

On the other hand, the card I made Tom and sent to cbeebies got shown, lol. It was shown at 9:55 and i'm going to check the last one of the day at 1:55. It was a bit pants compared to the others shown and I think they must have took pity on Tom as the photo of him on it was the one where he'd pegged himself (in my profile pix).

nicolamumof3 · 12/04/2009 14:17

bexie go give dp a kick up the bum!!! glad his card got shown, im terible never actually get round to even making them!!! let alone sending them in so good on you.

dis/dunoon i know what you mean, our current overload is toys. (will not get a zapp!)

horsemadgal · 12/04/2009 14:47

Awww Happy Birthday Tom. LOL at him pegging himself!
Hope hubby feels better soon, they are such hard work.

sweetkitty · 12/04/2009 15:04

horsemadgal - am not ignoring your e-mail will get back to you soon

horsemadgal · 12/04/2009 15:19

Don't worry sweetkitty, I know you been under the weather.
I'm busy now on Wed but any other day fine.

carrielou2007 · 12/04/2009 15:45

Happy Easter everyone

Happy Birthday Tom!!

Taking the zapp out for a spin later (not taken it out yet, bought it two weeks ago!) have just wresstled with my clippasage bag, can't be arsed yet with underseat bag. My mum is doing roast dinner so we are off in a bit (super yum)

Gave dd a very frugal lunch then we attacked some easter eggs. We have been playing in the garden and she keeps finding little chocolate eggs I have hidden and her squeals of suprise at each one are priceless!!

Shall I get another urban detour?? It could live in the garage and come out every night for a run (did that last summer with one I bought from Lillypie) but still too big really for holidays? Could collect it though, not far from me on ebay.

Really need to get myself in ebay mode as also drowning under toys, clothes, pushchair accessories...just can't be bothered but try to think of it as a few hundred pounds just sat around not doing anything (nope, still can't be bothered!!)

pebbles79 · 12/04/2009 15:58

Happy Easter everyone and Happy Birthday Tom!

Showed DH a picture of the Bugaboo and he likes it so thinking I might sell the Skate and get one!! Will wait until next week though so that I can at least use my custom liner once (don't have it yet). The Bee is only £340 in Glasgow Pram Centre which is a great deal.

nicolamumof3 · 12/04/2009 16:05

carrie i think you should deffo get a three wheeler so if ud is under £50 go for it!

sal1309 · 12/04/2009 16:47

afternoon all

happy easter and happy birthday tom. Hope your all having a lovely day

well im still finding lots of stuff to get rid off lol need a really good clearout

nicola that jeep is great

lillypie · 12/04/2009 17:22

Good afternoon all hope you've had a lovely day and that Tom had a great birthday

DP went surfing with the boys yesterday and won't be back till later.DD and I went for a lovely walk in the sunshine and than I kept boredom at bay while she was sleeping by spending nearly all my PP pennies on cool summer clothes for her and Lelli Kellys
I don't have room for any more prams and I am happy with the three that I have.Although I think I will have to buy my DGD lovely pink stroller for the summer

Not much chocolate here as DD doesn't like it so she had a tinkerbell fairy outfit instead!

FlyMeToDunoon · 12/04/2009 17:36

In my loft are toys that I cleared from DD's 2 and 3 room and they haven't been missed.
However that includes several really nice teddies and a rabbit that grandma bought. Can't bring myself to get rid and grandma wouldn't be impressed either.
I don't like lots of soft toys around and they aren't played with.
Also a lot of very miscellaneous stuff, bits and pieces and bits missing from other things.
I had a look recently and shut the door again.
Glad people are enjoying Easter sunday.

claret1980 · 12/04/2009 18:51

I'm not liking my buzz now, want a quest or something else. Like rear facing at mo but not really sure. Really want a bugaboo but really can't stretch to that.

sweetkitty · 12/04/2009 18:55

Happy Birthday Tom, hope the party went well

My task for this week is to get a few bits and pieces listed on ebay, won't make much but need it to go towards the Luna Mix, have told DH that I am going to sell the pink Luna to fund it but I love the covers too much

carrielou2007 · 12/04/2009 19:20

Well, the zapp is going to have to go, it is far far too low for me and just walking the mile to my mum's house and back with it has given me backache!!!

Lillypie you need my lovely bright pink triumph for your DGD!!!

claret buy my black quest!!

Lovely roast lamb dinner, so stuffed with food can't even manage a tiny bit more easter egg! Not sure how I can bend over dd in the bath to wash her hair my tummy is so full!

FlyMeToDunoon · 12/04/2009 19:30

carrielou could I possibly ask you a Dr question?

Both my youngest have something wrong with thumbs. We thought and pharmacist thought whitlow and we treated with uh magnesium stuff [?] but now nail is coming away.
Anyway question is Nurse or full Doctor app?

lillypie · 12/04/2009 19:40

It would be lovely carrie but if you saw the way that my son's GF treats pushchairs you'd understand why I don't intend to spend more than 25 quid!! I am on the look out for a pink bargain

nicolamumof3 · 12/04/2009 19:49

im selling my quest (i think?) claret!!

www.picturetrail.com/nicolaspushchairs

shame your zapp is pink carrielou!

carrielou2007 · 12/04/2009 20:39

Dd so tired out she had fallen asleep by the time I came downstairs and turned monitor on. I can now hear her popping away (too many roast parsnips!!)

Nicola my zapp is strawberry (I would still say it is more of a reddy pink!!) but I know you, it is used and not brand new. Flamin love it, dd now such a big lump no danger of it tipping, easy to push, so stylish just too flippin low!

Flyme bit too far down the body for me as I am ENT (wracks brains for recall of anatomy lectures)

Lillypie you will have to educate her how we love our buggies!!

We've had a lovely day, we don't need dd's dad even though all we have seen is families today, roll on 9pm for Lost and (yipee) a little Easter drinkie...

nicolamumof3 · 12/04/2009 20:43

oh i had strawberry! i love the colour, whats it like? logos intact?? did you get a basket for it?

carrielou2007 · 12/04/2009 20:50

I bought a basket (zip up kind) not taken it out of the packet yet, little bit of each of the Q off the logo and a small tear in the bottom of the raincover. Have a look at it in my feedback in ebay (my user name is the same) but as I say I know you and it's not perfect perfect. Was only going to use it for holidays but after one use it is just too low for me so it's sat upstairs in the spare room with the black quest and pink triumph!!

I emailed the seller of the UD but not yet heard anything...
