I would second Locale, they are great with kids there despite it being an 'adult' restaurant.

Agreed!

And unless the house was purchased fairly recently there will be capital increase. Let's face it, ?2million in London does NOT buy a mansion! There are plenty of "normal" income families with houses of that value in London.

I'm with DMC and am more than happy. It's a great practice that Dr Gupta has built, I would be disappointed if he hadn't done well. I have seen Dr Gupta for an appointment at DMC (not sure if it was Dr Gupta senior or one of his sons, only joined the practice a year ago and have no idea of their ages to be able to tell), he was lovely! A very caring Dr who was brilliant with my baby son. I hope DMC carries on as it has done and Dr Gupta continues with his success!

My daughter went onto cows milk at 12 mths too. Like Pickle, I found the odd occasion I went to use the formula she wouldn't drink it. Although saying that it did take her a little while to get used to cows milk! We went onto a beaker at about 15mths.

Is yours an old one? This appears to be a Lascal universal from 2005, ie an old discontinued model :(

Apparently it's an original buggy board, clips don't appear to be available on kiddo care :( Ruth, if you don't mind, would love to borrow yours and see of a board is worth investing in. Thank you Clare

My sister has given me an (unused) Lascal buggy board. It seems to be missing the clips that attach to the buggy. She bought it from a closing down baby shop a few years back, presumably, the clips were omitted. Are the clips something that can be bought separately or is the buggy board no good? Thx Clare

I don't think there is a perfect age gap, they all have their own issues. I've got a 15 month age gap between my two (eek). It was tough at first but now my youngest is 6 months it is easier, although not easy.

Think it's 430 now.

I bought some from Primark, ridiculously cheap and wash well. I also got some from next, M&S and Gap which are slightly thicker but a lot more expensive. The Primark ones I bought for nursery and have been pleasantly surprised.
