Thanks all for the scooter advice. Think little man will be getting one soon. Look forward to him scooting about whilst I push his little brother in buggy!

Ahh, thank you :)

We're thinking about getting a scooter for our toddler who was 2 in April. See the 3 wheeled ones are better for younger kids and the ollie (??) brand is most popular. Is it worth getting one now? He seems a bit interested and had a play on one very briefly. Also is there a recommended place to buy one? Not sure I even have the name ollie scooter right as not much coming up on google (excuse naivity!) Any scooter tips much appreciated please! Thank you

We had a broken brake cable for our secondhand bugaboo frog, and rang the London Bugaboo office who transferred us direct to the Amsterdam office. They were hugely helpful and sent us a new brake cable free of charge! Give it a go - got nothing to lose! Good luck

Hi all. Am currently weaning my 6 month old but have heard differing advice which has confused me slightly! I've been reading the Gina Ford weaning book and using that as a guide as to times and menus. I've been weaning him fairly slowly and giving 2 meals, veg puree at 11am and baby rice and fruit at 5pm. The milk feeds haven't dropped loads - and what has confused me is the health visitor saying I should give solids first and then top up on milk at the end...whereas Gina Ford and Miriam Stoppard say always offer milk first. I've always breastfed but started giving a bit of formula before the 11am feed to wean him off the breast slowly as I go back to work in January. He's taking the bottle fine, but I am now bit reluctant to go totally formula due to convenience of breastfeeding (especially out and about!). It just seems there's so many differing opinions out there on what to wean and when, it's left me a bit confused. He's also started to wake more in the nights than he used to, which is making me wonder if solids are part of that problem or not! Anyway, if anyone has any advice on milk before or after solids - should I just stop the milk feeds (after 5 weeks of weaning) and at 6 months and a half should I start introducing breakfast, finger foods, and stop pureeing so that the food is more mashed - pulsed. Many thanks, confused new mum!

Had a nightmare journey determined to get in this morning. Got 2 buses from ED to Peckham Rye station to avoidd slippery ice (as I'm pregnant) then at Peckham Rye, I had 3 trains cancelled one after the other. At this point, I gave up to work from home! I think there was a broken down train which explained why almost every train was cancelled coming in to PEckham Rye. If you're in Victoria looking to get back to Peckham Rye tonight, I'd leave plenty of time in case the trains haven't sorted themselves out

I ordered a pizza the other day from Classico Pizza which arrived late, and was cold. The courier also tried to charge me an extra ?2 which I pointed out to him was not the correct price. When I rang to complain, I was told the reason the pizza was cold was due to the rocket on the pizza!! Although I did think this was a rather ingenious reason!! ? I said the pizza was cold through and that rocket wouldn?t make the whole thing cold. I tried to get some compensation ? like free pizza for next time, but all he could offer was a starter for ?2 free. The pizza wasn?t great, service terrible and I certainly wouldn?t go back there? anyone else had similar experience there?
