Have to admit it did make me giggle too but if I was the baby my thoughts would be "as you´re annoying me, I´m going to annoy you" and scream and cry for ages

I take it you don´t buy original cologne and use something like Bruberry or Hugo Poss?

See, I don´t mind buying nappies or wipes in Lidl and baby clothes in Tesco. But with things like car seat or pram, I like them to be good

 

 +1! Safety can never be overrated, especially when bad luck has struck in the past. And it´s not the "brands" or the company i´ve been reviewing but the people who have purchased the same pushchair as I have before and placed their views online. And it´s not just on pushchairs but in all different things I use reviews as a good base. For example, if I was booking a hotel for a holiday, I will make sure the reviews aren´t bad. Even baby bottles, many mothers have bought the Avent ones, but many said they had leeking problems, so I went with another that has a better reiview, one that is also cheaper.

And like I said, it´s not being sucked in with what comercial ads throw at you but I also want one that I am comfortable with using. There is nothing worse than having a puschair that is hard to set up/put away or something that is so huge you have to dodge people in shops like you would dodge cars standing on the M25...

I doubt prams that you spend 30 pounds on are as reliable as the more expensive ones. Sure, often you just pay for the brand, but middle-shelf products are usually good, last long, don´t lose wheels and are generally made of better fabric. the same goes for car seats. I´d rather spend more on a seat that has better safety reviews than look at the price only.

A good idea how to save is either buy a used pram or buy one that can be modified, ie first it server as a pramette with the newborn lying flat as it should, then it can be transformed into a pushchair either (or both) rear- and forward facing.

 

I totally agree. Not only is it because it´s more reliable that I bought it but like you said it´s still cheaper than buying a brand new one. The carry cot that comes with it, people have also used it for a moses basket for the first couple of months, which again can save money. The reason I also like this pushchair is because it´s not huge and bulky so it´s easier for me to get it around and put in the car.

Excuseeeee meeee!!!{#emotions_dlg.you_crazy}

Of course she is NOT right.. There are other car seats like this one for example  and it is just 40 pounds.. --> http://www.argos.co.u...EAT.htm

I am sure you will find some chairs for beginners too if you looked around in argos catalog..{#emotions_dlg.you_crazy}{#emotions_dlg.you_crazy}

And also, nothing stops you padding the baby´s surroundings so that he/she can use that push chair or car seats!! They grow so quickly anyway. What are you going to do when he/she grows up? Buy a new one? {#emotions_dlg.you_crazy}{#emotions_dlg.you_crazy}{#emotions_dlg.you_crazy} 

dont you think it will be waste? You enjoy wasting money I guess..{#emotions_dlg.you_crazy}{#emotions_dlg.you_crazy}{#emotions_dlg.you_crazy}{#emotions_dlg.you_crazy}

 

I wasn´t being rude, I was actually appreciating your help, I just laughed at what DD said. And no, I don´t like wasting money, but I do like having a good, quality and firm apparatus that lasts longs and has good ratings, especially when it regards the safety of my child. Notice I bought it in Red, so therefore I can use it again if need be, if I was having a girl and if I liked spending a fortune I would have bought it brand new. Not to mention, the 2 you chose, though together they are around £60 which is £90 cheaper than I paid, I´d rather have something that lasts that little bit longer and something that I was comfortable with using and pay that little bit more for it.

Wow! TheHansom, you really did believe it when your wife told you children are born aged 4 already? lol

 

lol thanks for the help TheHansom, but I´m afraid DD is right. The pushchair is used from 6 months onwards and the car seat is from age 4 so I think it´s a little too soon to be getting either of those.

But I am happy with the ones I got as it´s the pushchair I really wanted with everything and never thought I was going to get

Quoting TurkishBeauty

Hey guys, hope you are all well...

 

As I have recently posted, I have started casual English lessons to some Turkish friends. My first student who told me in Turkish that his english was at a zero level actually turned out to speak and write English very well!! This has kind of thrown me off track as he seems to know everything in the book I was using as a guide and had planned my lessons around.

 

I´m thinking that a good way to teach him would be to find basic Turkish short stories/ text/ paragraphs which he would then be able to try and translate into English. I´m just struggling to find the right kind of material. I´ve been googling for over an hour but have had no luck!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. His next lesson is tomorrow!!

 

Thank You!!

Ceyda

 

 Sorry I´m a bit late in replying (as tomorrow is already today!). I haven´t got any links to exercises but how about you give him some sentences in Turkish to translate to English and then with those translated sentences, make a story. To make sure his word order is correct when joining English sentences together.

 

If not then you can be a bit more technical and explain English grammer so that he understands the structural rules that govern the composition of sentences.

Quoting alameda

There is a big difference is between solicited and unsolicited advice.  Nothing is quite as unwelcome, or useless as unsolicited advice.  I´m reminded of the classic advice...."Physician heal thyself".....

 

 

 

I like the term "little help is better than no help" better. Just tried helping with the correct spelling and a little grammar. He done well with what he said so I didn´t want to go into too much detail as his english was already very good.

Quoting TheAenigma

 

 

I recently got one of those Electricity Monitors - its fantastic! It tells you how much energy you are using at any one time, how much each day/month etc.  When I first got it I became obsessed!  Even when I thought everything was switched off it was still using quite a lot...eventually found that my PC in the spare room was switched off but still plugged into the socket.  When I unplugged it the electricity level dropped a LOT!  Scary stuff! Also things like switching on the kettle to boil water are horrifying!

 

Have got a bit less obsessed now, but notice that my electricity bills have dropped by one third

http://www.electricity-monitor.com/wireless-energy-monitors-c-37.html

 

 

 

 

Ohhh I´ve always wanted one of these. just to see how much things cost in the house etc so I can tell others and have my own bills dropped but I´ve only seen it recently on TV being advertised under EDF energy so I thought you had to be with them, now I know you don´t have to!
