It's already here...

:-•:*"*:•.-:¦:-•* Greetings *•-:¦:-•:*'''*:•-:

I only ordered my unborn sprog’s Saplings Victoria cot bed and mattress on Sunday and guess what? It’s already here! What a speedy delivery and wonderful service from Tesco.

It arrived this morning and wild child’s father has already assembled it. And, how does it look do I hear you asking? It’s wonderful but I’m more flabbergasted with how big it is! I know it’s a cot bed and that means it’s bigger than a cot but I didn’t expect it to look so ginormous. My wild child has a toddler bed that uses the same size mattress as the cot bed but even his bed looks smaller than this cot bed. Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining just expressing the shock I feel. I’m really impressed with the way it looks and it looks much better than it does in the product pictures (and I didn’t think that was possible). However, this post is just to share my excitement with you so I’ll leave the specific details and scrutiny for when I do a full in-depth review on it.

So, here it is:

So, what do you think of it? Please share your thoughts with me.

Well, that’s all for now folks,

SLEEPLESS IN LONDON!!!

:-•:*"*:•.-:¦:-•* Greetings *•-:¦:-•:*'''*:•-:

:: I just love ecards, don't you??? ::

FORTY MINUTES PASSED ONE IN THE MORNING AND I CAN’T GO TO SLEEP! For the last few days I haven’t been able to sleep. How tired I am I just can’t manage to go to sleep. Thus, the title SLEEPLESS IN LONDON!

I’ve been in bed for three hours now, tossing and turning but there’s no sign of sleep. I’ve become so desperate that I even tried counting imaginary sheep tonight (I felt so barmy while doing it). I called my midwife and had a moan about it to her. It’s supposed to be quite common to not be able to sleep much in the late stages of pregnancy, but how can this be? Does it not make more sense for pregnant woman to be able to sleep more in the late stages so the body is ready and full of beans for when the time of giving birth comes? It would make more sense to me if my midwife old me that this is nature’s way of preparing me for the sleepless nights due ahead after the baby’s born.

Sometimes I do wonder if nature has a rebellious streak in it!

Honestly, it’s so annoying especially because there’s no specific reason to why I’m sleepless. Normally, I have trouble sleeping due to pain or being uncomfortable but these few days there has been no such cause. I’m so tired right now, that I can’t tell if what I’m writing is making sense or not so if it’s not please except my sincere apologies.

Anyway my lovelies have any of you suffered from this horrendous problem? If so how did you deal with being sleepless?

I’m going to go as I can feel mind going blank so until next time,

Mini Micro Scooter Review

:-•:*"*:•.-:¦:-•* Greetings *•-:¦:-•:*'''*:•-:

Since, my wild child received his Mini Micro Scooter for his birthday present in June he just won’t go anywhere without it. My wild child has a trike and a bike but he hardly ever uses them. There’s never a specific reason he just never seems interested in them. So, when it came to buying him this scooter I was a little worried about it being stuck in some corner of the house and me eventually regretting buying it. But, to my surprise it turned out to be the opposite! From the day of his birthday he has always jumped at the chance of riding/scooting on his scooter. And now whenever his going out whether it’s down to the local shops or the other side of London there’s always the question “Mummy can I ride my scooter please?”

So, for the love my wild child has for his scooter and the love I have for him I’m going to do a review on the Mini Micro Scooter.

:: My Wild Child Zooming on his Mini Micro Scooter, Zoooooooom ::

We purchased the Mini Micro Scooter Blue which has a T-Bar handle and is suitable for three to five year olds. I find the appearance to be simple but still classic and it doesn’t look cheap like some of the other children’s scooters I’ve seen. I believe the blue deck, silver metal T-bar with the orange brake cover is quite eye-catching. My wild child was very pleased with the fact that it was “BLUE” when he initially unwrapped the Mini Micro Scooter but I think he would have been chuffed with whatever colour he got!

The structure of the Mini Micro Scooter has a great build, is very sturdy and after many tiny crashes nothing has snapped, cracked or simply broke of like I was expecting. Even though it looks very light and the wheels look like their easy to break, it’s not that light and the wheels will go a long way. My wild child zooms on this little gem like his escaping dinosaurs or some huge danger behind him and he looks so smooth, totally in-control like his been doing it for years! But actually it’s the smoothness of the Mini Micro Scooter that allows him to ride it at the speed he does without losing control. All he has to do to turn corners is lean to the corresponding side. He actually likes riding it by swivelling side to side. At times my over-protective motherly emotions kick in seeing him go so fast and I start worrying about the speed but I instantly put myself at is due to the great brake which is very easy to use (all he has to do is put his put down on it).

We love the Mini Micro Scooter and even though its sells around the £50 mark it’s one piece of fun that I’d happily re-purchase again and again if something happened to this one. So, if you’re looking to purchase a children’s scooter I’d recommend that you have a look at the Micro Scooters. They come in several colours, have a variety of scooters suitable for different age groups and have plenty of additional accessories to personalise the scooter. I purchased the Mini Micro Scooter from Micro-Scooter website for £49.95 with an additional delivery charge of £5.95.

Well I hope you find this review helpful.

I’m going to be off now so until next time,
