Hey Ladies,

Just thought I'd start a new thread since we are into a new month hope no one beat me too it

I sold my 03 Sport for £85 inc delivery on Ebay am v.pleased, although a bit miffed by courier but I'm sure I'll manage. LOL

How is everyone?

at carries popping DD

My zapp is strawberry too and I am loving it this time round as well.It is a tiny bit low but I hold the highest part of the handle and that seems to work.

The under seat basket is ok but the one behind the seat is fab!! I just open it up and throw all my shopping in it as I'm going around,much easier than trying to push a buggy and hold a basket!!

And I think the store detectives have stopped following me now

nicolamumof3 · 12/04/2009 20:56

lol lillypie!

carrie have you seen this quest?

you could put the covers on the apples quest and sell the chassis! in fact i might get a cheap chassis to use my scarlet covers on!

nicolamumof3 · 12/04/2009 21:05

you got a good price there on that zapp, but knowing zapps and how they wear now i think you're right i would prefer a new one. really want a breen and they are on £119 at kiddicare. but think i would miss my maclaren!

carrielou2007 · 12/04/2009 21:16

I love those pink covers, I was watching one on ebay for that very reason!!

Still loving the colours of the apples but find the handles low - it's odd, I found this with the bed of roses quest yet not with the I love you one, walked everywhere with that on holiday?

I really want to keep the zapp but know it will drive me nuts if I take it on holiday so it's in my pram graveyard until I can get off my bum and get them sold.

If you want a new zapp underseat bag though I haven't opened mine yet (did you keep yours or sell it??)

nicolamumof3 · 12/04/2009 21:20

bloody sold it carrie and the travel bag think i sold whole lot £75 del. gutted should have kept it!!! oh well thats me nothing lasts long here.

i love my quest, i would have an xt but just can't push it one handed can push the zapp one handed but won't get a buggyboard on the zapp so need to forget it really!

carrielou2007 · 12/04/2009 22:19

Crikey, Lost was good (hic - as was the bacardi!!)

3 buggies in spare room umwanted, 3 buggies wanted (why can't I make it just two??)

off to bed, coming up to a year since I finished BF and still can only have one or two drinks before I cave in...

nicolamumof3 · 12/04/2009 22:22

claret1980 · 13/04/2009 00:19

Oh I wish I had pennies for a quest!

carrielou is yours on ebay? I think I'm watching it if it is.

Nicola I love the colours of your quest as well.

Let me know how much & I will see if I can persuade him.

Anyone want a quinny buzz in Navy reflection with footmuff, raincovers, basket and Buzz bag.

nicolamumof3 · 13/04/2009 07:33

My Quest is £90 del as its only 2weeeks old! Used twice.

oh sorry morning everyone! today dp is ill, we are having a great Easter!!! lol.

BexieID · 13/04/2009 09:40

Men, lol. DP said last night he'll only get up today if he's feeling better. He complained last night that he didn't get outside to plant the seeds that he'd bought! Will mean having to take Tom to Asda with me and SIL.

WARNING - DON'T READ BELOW IF YOU ARE SCREAMISH!

Thankfully, he did get rid of the dead seagull that was on the rooftop right where Toms playhouse is. It was minging as when he went to lift it (was wearing marigolds) there were maggots! He flung the bird over the side of the building and then nuked the maggots with bleach and other cleaning stuff and they were still wriggling!

carrielou2007 · 13/04/2009 10:08

Morning everyone.

Bexie that is eeewwwwwwww!! Though it Tom is anything like dd she would have loved to stick her fingers in it and have a poke around

Claret my ebay name is the same, 40 plus post.

Anyone want my zapp? This is my week to be ruthless and stick everything on ebay and just get rid, even if things go for 99p, it's still better than everything sitting upstairs taking up room!!

FlyMeToDunoon · 13/04/2009 10:54

Morning.
DD2 up in the night with the virus we all seem to get-temperature, sore throat and then snotty nose and cough.
Sigh.

Lovely seagull story!

Hi all, hope everyone had a good easter.

In crisis here again, still no feedback so no PP funds, XT has to go tomorrow and Fi is supposed to be coming through with BJCM today but won't have money until Friday for definate as DP gets paid then. So effectively no pram until Friday atleast which could'nt of come at worse timing as hae just started a new job which requires me to make a 2 mile walk to drop DS off with DP at work so I can get to work as there is a 15 minute gap so DP needs to take him from me then walk ther 2 miles back home.

With no pushchair that is not going to happen

Such a PITA I need £80 for pushchair and I have £165 sitting ion PP which I cant touch
so frustrating! I cant get a hold of Fi either to say not to come through as have no cash Not a good week for me

Where is everyone?

horsemadgal · 13/04/2009 12:11

mamadiva, can't you do the refund 1p thing that people were talking about??

carrielou2007 · 13/04/2009 12:12

mama are you giving Fi cash? I can send you some money to pp and when yours has cleared you can send it back but not sure if that is really of any help? I also have 6 bloody pushchairs in my house but are you too far away I think for me to send you one to borrow??

Carrie she said I could PP too. are you sure you would'nt mind doing that? It's £80 though?!

You would be a bloomin star if you could I can defo give you it on Friday as DP gets paid then and my PP goes through my bank IYSWIM.

I'm away up in the Highlands so to far away for pushchair. And 6 WOW impressive

OP posts:
carrielou2007 · 13/04/2009 12:16

I've heard of that too, I think it was Mrs M or Dis who knew about it? Think it releases your funds somehow but don't know any more?

pebbles79 · 13/04/2009 12:18

You refund the buyer 1p and it releases the funds for you.

carrielou2007 · 13/04/2009 12:18

Yes I am more than happy to, see if you can find out this 1p pp thing or I will do that. I am tripping over these bloody pushchairs I just want 2 (well 3, maybe-ish)

mamadiva · 13/04/2009 12:22

Can I do that without the buyer accepting though because she clearly has'nt been online have sent several emails asking her too reply . Will try.

Carrielou you are the most fantasical MNer ever my love

2minutes.

OP posts:
pebbles79 · 13/04/2009 12:23

They don't have to accept money when you send a refund I don't think, should go through automatically.

carrielou2007 · 13/04/2009 12:24

No worries, dd just waking up so will just do us a bit of lunch and be back in a bit.

Email me [email protected] and give me your pp addy and I'll send it over in a bit if the 1p doesn't work.
