Disenchanted3 · 01/05/2009 23:56

Nawww if this is gonna be my only buggy its gotta be pretty, lol. I need some new ones i think,

or barouque

SparklyGothKat · 01/05/2009 23:58

The seat has tiny dots on it in the pattern.

They aren't wrecked lol... They were faded on the side panels when I got them (ask Fi) but I sorted it all out You don't see the scuffs as its where the fabric covers the frame IYKWIM. They aren't canvas like the other MB

SparklyGothKat · 01/05/2009 23:59

I had Baroque on my last urban.. I loved it.. I have moss now

Disenchanted3 · 01/05/2009 23:59

SparklyGothKat · 02/05/2009 00:00

Disenchanted3 · 02/05/2009 00:05

nicolamumof3 · 02/05/2009 06:40

morning all!!

SGK am v.jealous about your moss tis my fav (along with 50's of course ) be gorgeous for summer, esp with my retro snuggle as a liner!

Dis well done on mb is that you 'done' for now?

Well its a gorgeous morning here, im still overrun with pushchairs must sell one of the quests as zapp will arrive next week

Disenchanted3 · 02/05/2009 07:48

SGK if you sell your moss covers an you pweasssse let me know!

Thankies.

Lovely sunny day im SO pleased as its my Nephews 2nd birthday today, BBQ and bouncy castle were planned but the weather man has beeb focasting rain all week for today! But it gorgeous

Yes Nicola! I need to post twin techno (I had a load of boxes but had to use them to pack my kitchen stiuff up! That poor womans been waiting a week! ) Verve is ready to go, and box XT up tomorrow.

Then I will Have double MB here, which I need to buy another can of sray for and give another coat, oil and scrub wheels then that will be ready to sell (paint cost £20!)

Then I will have pink MB single, I need to get those covers up to scrathch, hopefully I can, already have a buyer for them...

then get some other covers.

Then that leaves the Bee, which Im totally heartbroken about, I dunno if I can do it!!

nicolamumof3 · 02/05/2009 07:53

why you selling bee tho? thought you loved it? don't do it!!!!!!

Disenchanted3 · 02/05/2009 07:58

Because If I get single mountain buggy (which i hvae) the whole point of it was to have Aurora in the MB and Dex on buggy board at back.

If I keep bee, I'll favour it and they'll be no point.

I'll just end up putting Rorie in Bee instead and dragging DH with me to the shops so he can push Dexxie in the MB! Just because I want to push the bee!

If its not there then I'll only have 1 buggy, a gorgeous one, and hopefully this madness will stop!

Basl, I'm getting a BJCM, so excited! I tried one in John Lewis and thought they were great . The one handed fold is a winner for me, espeially for the school run.

So, DS3 is 23 weeks on Monday and so far we have had:

Chicco 4 me
M&P Luna
Mia Moda Compagno
ICandy Apple
Quinny Buzz
M&P Herbie
Micralite
Maclaren Techno XT (currently have)
BJCM (waiting to be delivered)

I think thats it so far . Gosh thats 9 prams

The BJCM is actually at my local DHL depot. Do you think if I called them I could go pick it up? Or do I have to wait til Tuesday for it to be delivered?

5inthebed · 02/05/2009 08:45

Dis, how much will you be selling double MB for. I might know an MN who wants to buy one cheap?

Disenchanted3 · 02/05/2009 08:59

Hiya,

letting it run at auction on ebay when its completly finished,

think I have to replace wheel rod too.

claret1980 · 02/05/2009 09:44

Still not told dh about getting vigour. he wasn't drunk enough last night.

Got loads to list on ebay this afternoon / night. Should pay for pushchair anyway.

Must go, taking dd to watch Hannah Montana at 11am so better get my bum into gear!

MrsMagooo · 02/05/2009 10:31

5in worth a ring to the depot - I know people who have dropped off/collected from the depot before now!

Basl not mad at all, 6 is nothing compared to some pramaholics I'm at about 40 odd but actually quite content with my 2

The BJCM is an excellent pram, light, easy to use, easy to steer, masses of room, fabby hood which gives lots of coverage from sun etc, one handed fold is a piece of cake, loads of storage for shopping etc, nice & sturdy, fab handle height etc. Some people say they don't see the fuss but until you've actually owned one you won't. Wasn't til I got one that realise how awesome it was.

I've just sold mine to 5in as I have bought it's big brother the new 2009 BJCE & it's just fantastic.

nicolamumof3 · 02/05/2009 11:42

dis i think you will miss bee, won't a board fit on it?

5inthebed · 02/05/2009 12:22

The BJCM has landed, thanks MrsM. Its a fab little pram, How small is the box!!!

Already had it out for a test drive and love it. Can see this being a keeper. Just need to get a raincover and possibly a cosytoes as well.

How is the BJCE? Might have to get one when DS3 is a little bigger hahaha

nicolamumof3 · 02/05/2009 12:25

lol hunnie!! glad you got it for w/end!

MrsMagooo · 02/05/2009 12:54

Glad you got it hunnie

The box is teeny isn't it - you wouldn't think there'd be a pram in there would you lol!

It's an ace pram & I'll definately be getting another, when the time comes to sell the Skate I'm going to get a black BJCM to go with my BJCE PMSL!

The BJCE is AMAZING, absolutely in love with, it's so well built & has all the features of the BJCM & more! It has a built in parent console, safety wrist strap, zipped pocket on the back, massive basket, huge storage net, hide away leg support for younger babies, magentic flaps on the viewing windows & ventilation panels, really funky wheels, adjustable handle, padded seat - it's just fabby. PLus I got it for a fabby price. It's usually £349.99 but PLO had it for £269.99 & I had a 5% discount code so got it for £256.46 posted!! Lots of piccies here

If you want a footmuff for the BJCM I have a red Kaiser, it's what I had on it & fits perfectly & the colour matches. Have it on eBay for £25 + post but will do for £20 posted on MN.

nicolamumof3 · 02/05/2009 13:10

i do like that mrs m! i love a nice three wheeler, your ds has grown so much he's still adorable tho! how old now?

MrsMagooo · 02/05/2009 13:15

I have the perfect combination now with the Skate & the BJCE & the Strolli

I toyed with the idea of getting an MB but the BJCE won hands down in the end. Having great fun pimping it!

DS is 9 months on Monday Growing so fast, he's such a cheeky sausage love him! He's zooming about all the place now, been crawling for about a month & is starting to pull himself up on things now

nicolamumof3 · 02/05/2009 13:20

oh wow! its a lovely age that mrs.m. i want another!!! but not allowed atm so may start childminding

i decided mb wasn't worth it in the end its alot of money for a basic pushchair the bjce has alot more features i'd go for v.nice and nearly half the price of the mb. thats why i got nipper in the end, it was the lightness i went for. its fab with buggyboard.

i saw a silver cross fizz in the new eclipse with black frame whilst in town this morning, either want one of those or a ziko in nicey!
