Ooh don't you will get me started!! I love the spitfire - I love the green, really I need to get myself a liner made. Have never had a liner really - can you believe that?!

I have credit with Boden, no idea what to get

Dis, if i can get new buggy for the exchange of Butchers then it will be blooming fabulious
I want green or yellow buggy.
Maxy,I would get Boden zip offs,ds got one atm as long shorts and they will fit next as trousers or shorts. For the money you spend you need to get enough wear,too.
Orangepetal, i often get excited and pleased for those who talk on " Bar open" "Who,who comeover here" threads. Im glad you pleased. I can bake you lemon drizzle, if you near me.

What lightweight stroller for sale?

Hello all.
Had the tummy bug friday night so spent all of yesterday in bed sipping flat sprite and progressing to dry crackers.
Better today but tired of course.

I'm having hell getting DS2 to walk, hes 4 in June and just cries floods of tears asking to be picked up.

Only have the bee now so hes got no choice.

I have lascal board but not sure if the bee is strong enough to hold it well?

Am kinda wishing I'd have bought that pink BJCE on ebay and kept mac for short journeys then buggy board could have gone on BJCE.

I don't get boden, I was going to get DD some tops with that £10 off code but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

FWIW i think you did the right thing questioning rainbow, its not just the huge price rises its the fibs about nephews etc!

evening all!

i have a lovely summery buggy and i used it today! my sunflower volo...bloody fab it is..dis my boys now fight over buggy. luka is start to like buggy again when tired and so does Tate so they fight over it! And Tate is nearly 4.5yr old so shouldn't be in buggy but he loves it lazy beggar!

diva i really think they will give you refund they will only exchange if they have another butchers stripe you see. Maybe call maclaren first? see www.maclarenbaby.com for contact details.

So we had a lovely day in Brighton jamie oliver's was fab...the head chef is terry's friend so we had a grand old time! then went to beach and pier. all exhausted now. Boys were crying they were so tired bless them.

Did serious buggy spotting saw at least a dozen bee's! it was bugaboo heaven. And two juicy macs!

dis boden applique tee's are just about as good as boden gets they ar elovely quality last years honestly! and resell is great on ebay so you can't lose.

i really like the swimming trunks the little skimpy ones maxy..they are good fit on luka and better than shorts for swimming lesson.. i got no credit do you guys ever get £10 vouchers for boden? i only ever had one..i spend enough with them lol!

Does Boden clothing come up big or small? I quite like this for DS1, not sure if camoflauge or blue stripe though.
