Me too - I got vouchers (M&S) which is the only way I'm allowed to spend money (OH saw the Xmas joint account statement! :-$).

Am so glad the kids aren't newborns - I'm trying to get rid of stuff in the house, but I might have to wait until they go to Uni for this.


Only 15 more years......

I just wanted to say that I have this! And I love it. Baby sits in it at every meal we eat. My 2 year old has a tripp trapp and we were planning on getting baby one as well. So after 4 days of eating and holding new baby, I ordered one. My husband has agreed (after initially thinking it was a BIG wast of money) that it has been a good splurge. She is 6 weeks now and I feel like at least it is something I use a few times a day, every day.

Where do I start?? - internet swoonage is pretty much my occupation.


For the sprogs - http://www.pinksandgreen.co.uk/products-page/perfect-playtime/


For me (based on my husband's rather bizarre reckoning) http://www.onepiece.co.uk/onepiece-split-pink-kelly-p-2517.html?osCsid=4faaa6800659c16b17c78a3d1e00c669 I don't really know what to say about these babygrows for adults. The two tone aspect of this one reminds me of a tracksuit my mother made me in the 80s (one leg purple, one leg yellow)...

He he bizarre one piece clothing - love it.


I'm in full on new baby accessories mode. Got the moses basket down from the loft recently and it looks like its been flattened - cue NEED for new bedside crib type thing. And maybe a new sling, for newbie when chasing errant toddler around park and shops, and obv a whole host of weird and wonderful b/f pillows, vests and bras. My christmas present was a storksac change bag. I am officially SAD.


Now. How to persuade husband re the stokke chair. It's v expensive and I've spent my HIP grant 4 times over already...I do think it looks FAB though.

Snowboarder, if you are getting a Phil & Ted's then the cocoon thing works pretty well as a moses basket I think for the first few weeks....maybe not what you want to hear, but I've heard a few people say that they used it that way, so easy to move baby around the house with them etc.


You can get a newborn insert for the Ergo....think that's what I'd go for if I were you, tried pouch type slings but didn't get on with them so well.


This leaves you more money to spend on breastfeeding tops, which are for the new baby, but for YOU TOO (Hurrah)!!, and the Stokke Chair, which I think you just HAVE to have, think how much use it is going to get.......

Before I had children I thought the idea of a babywipe warmer was just silly. Now as i crouch in the semidarkness above a sleepy baby who is blinking at me suspiciously wondering if I am about to assualt his nether regions with something cold and wet, i can suddenly understand their purpose...


Ergo newborn insert is good btw, plus you can hoik the baby out and leave it under a chair if you're in a busy place with other children and don't want it crushed into your cleavage

littleedfamily - my sis in law who's skinny, trendy and in her 20's got one of those all in one thingys from my even trendier bro in law for xmas and absolutely loves it. it's apparently the new "in thing" - so, if i lose 4 stone and become about 100x more trendy who knows you might see me walking down lordship lane wearing an all in one rather than tracky bums and a fleece!!!

    • Possibly a little specialist (and the ultimate eventual clothes horse unless you're into fitness!) but we have the Pivot: PIVOT | Ultimate Space-Saving Bed & Home Gym Solution It's a full weight Olympic squat rack which pulls down from the wall into a double/king bed. When we bought it as a Kickstarter project it was less expensive than a murphy bed from places like the Wall Bed Company, though this may no longer be the case. Super easy to put together ourselves.
    • The skatepark has been a great use of a derelict site, but surely the point is that that site should not have been allowed (and should not continue to be allowed) to have become derelict in the first place. As someone who couldn't live much closer to the Grove Tavern, I would welcome any redevelopment efforts. The current state of the pub is untenable, wasteful and ultimately an embarrassment for the local area.  The concerns mentioned about young people and the lack of public space for them to spend time are totally valid. And I agree, its very inspiring that a group of teenagers have built the skate park and created something out of nothing. But that shouldn't prevent the site being turned into something that is of utility to the whole community - whether that be housing, supermarkets or a pub/restaurant. 
    • Crikey. I made one comment  relating to the ice cream flavour, which referred to a previous thread which you started.  That thread was also about a specific named local cafe (not the same one). You subsequently deleted most of your very long posts on it, which included one in which you made false and insulting assumptions about another forum member (not me). Luckily nobody had quoted your posts  in their responses, so the content is no longer on here. In view of the subject of that thread (you and your son didn't like the vegan hot chocolate) I thought my comment above about the ice cream flavour was funny. I'm sorry if you found it "sarcastic". Maybe we have a  different sense of humour. I thought the rest of my posts on this thread  were helpful. I'm sorry if you didn't. I'm not deliberately "replying to every one of your posts " !!! What a very strange thing to say! To the best of my knowledge I haven't replied more to your posts than to anyone else's! I post a lot on this forum.  If you click on my name you can see all my posts.  I have lived in the area since 1991, and I have an interest in what is going on. I've been posting on here almost since the forum started. I am  retired, apart from promoting and  running music gigs, which takes up a lot of my time, however yes!  I do have many other  things to do!  I don't know if they are "better" than posting on here.  You post on here! So do many other people! If everyone had "better things to do" there would be no forum! I am  "out" on here, and always have been. I don't have anything to hide behind a forum name, and I have always gone under my own name.  You can come and find me any time if you want to address your apparent grievances with me in person. I am glad your son is better.
    • Thankfully he's better Sue, thanks to your usual sarcasm - can always rely on the fact you have nothing better to do than reply to every one of my posts. Clearly I'll have to change my ED forum name 😉 Apologies to anyone offended. We've all eaten in this cafe many many times so I've put this down to a one off. Yes obviously kids get sick. Gosh I didn't realise when ED forum became so full of passive aggressive, sarcastic people. Won't be posting again in a hurry - cue the afore mentioned type of replies in response no doubt... Oh and this incident was most definitely the icecream or person serving it having dirty hands or gloves, as my son was fine after he was sick. So no bug.  For the avoidance of doubt nobody meant for this to affect any business, so once again apols for mentioning by name. Happy icecream eating everyone.
