UK SMOG Wannabes - March

[Inglewood]

What to do????? Had a DISASTER yest! My friend gave me a M&P twin buggy months ago that I was planning to use with the babies, not what I'd of chosen but as they say 'beggars can't be choosers' my mum came over to help clean it and we found mould and damp on it!! The basket is ripped at the bottom too. My friend did say it was in her outhouse, but when she 1st brought it, it looked ok, but the mould is 'hiding' so to speak, not really obvious, but we cleaned and scrubbed it and it smells!

So my mum offered to help out with a second hand one we saw on ebay, nearly new, what I'd of chosen new and I was to go and see it later, just got an email...IT'S SOLD!!! Can't afford a new one at £300 (at least) babies here in less than 3 wks and NO pram!! Still no CAR!! and the loft conversion stuff is doing my head in....on top of that,my house is a disaster and I really want my cot up and stuff ready for babies. Feeling stressed, sore and just want a magic wand to sort out my house, get me car and a new pram!!

Anyone know where to look for cheap prams?? Looked Preloved, Gumtree, ebay. Need to buy a local paper.

Hey Inglewood, try netmums for sale local boards, bet youll get one there in time! Or pre loved.

Babymad, thanks, I just say to OH when he says things like 'you'll be outnumbered' etc. 'yeah but your going to have to cough up 10k for IVF so I know what Id prefer' Immature I know but makes me feel better lol.
OH has helped more at weekends as Ive had a few weekends where Ive gone out on my own or up to bed as just had enough so he is def. trying more when here.

I felt so crap yesterday and this am but suddenly snapped out of it, so odd, got to be stupid hormones!

Well, I booked a gender scan for today, I know its def, a boy but need that confirmation to deal with it and get it out my system. Keep re-looking at nub pictures hoping there is a girly one there so need to stop wasting time.
My 20 week scan is also before our holiday so dont want to dwell on it over our holiday!

Its at 230 so will be on at 3pm saying see all boy lol

inglewood - can you get the covers off it x i know my m&p i took the covers off it completely i think i might have had to unscrew something but it was do able and then wash everything and see what its like?? If not i got some bargains on preloved.....also ebay but the prices often go higher. So sorry everything is up in the air i know what you mean about wanting be sorted HUGE hugs x fx you find a buggy and pronto! I drove for over an hour to get my double but got it super cheap!! It is always a risk x

Babymad - huge hugs that DH wont talk about it x mine will but doesnt get it he admits that but its frustrating - he whines about working with all women....ermmmmm try living with them too!!!

Good luck chocolate hope you get a shock and hear pink x x

must run ds3 being a pita and ds2 is whining too ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH am so not tolerent right now and DH is away from tomorrow till tuesday - poor kids!

also it is worth seeing if people will courier you a buggy if you dont live close by inglewood - if you go by a cheap one it can cost as little as £15 so if you find a good deal might be worth it x

Hi Inglewood. The pram issue sounds like the last thing you needed. Tea tree oil is great for removing mould. I dilute it in a spray bottle with water. And sunlight-not sure how much of that you get in the UK! (Just joking, but I know the time of year). I live in the tropics and we get mould in the wet season. Pulling the pram apart would definitely be ideal. If you can't get rid of the mould I would get another pram though as the spores can cause health issues. Not ideal when you have 2 brand new bubs soon. All the very best. Try and delegate other people to run around for you. They won't normally just do things, but if you ask, they won't say no!

Well potty shot isn't showing anything but cord in the way and at one point she said boy but then she wouldn't want to call it, then said if she had to bet her life on it she would say boy but 2d potty shot shows nothing sticking out but sometimes its further up! So going back in soon for another go - she isn't medically trained so not too sure. But I think boy still just need a shot to confirm! Thought I saw a willy at one point though

Its a boy, hope the rest of you have better luck than me, good job I've already known in my head its a boy as although dissapointed and think its just my typical luck, no tears, yet!
