Hmn, my pop does really well on kerbs and stairs..
Aww Stace, it's horrible when that kind of thing happens (i still remember the one time Fin fell out of bed when he was in with me), cuddles, milk and calpol if need be. Remember, it was an accident. x

I only got mine a couple of weeks ago, and I haven't used it a huge amount, so I'm hoping it'll get better with more use. It's already got a bit better.
Typical! Our old buggy breaks, I get a new one, and Maddles decides she likes walking!
yeah shona thats what i meant lol, pistachio is nice i thought about getting that one. my one is second hand, i got it off ebay, seller only used it for 3 months so its in great condition. only paid £45. i didnt really need it, so that was a treat for myself...! i just loved the buggy.
i have developed a knack certainly for going down steps but i dont bump up many steps yet. i will do though, i am moving house at the end of feb and my new flat is on 2nd floor with no lift. so im either gonna have to carry her up and down or bump her up and down the stairs.

You get used to the bumping; we (well, my mother, haha) bought the Pop when Fin was around 4 months old, we've always had steps since then, so we've had to get used to them! Best thing, is take them slowly. It is very pretty! We only have the two buggies though, the 'big' buggy (Mothercare Maui/Hauck Infinity) and the Pop, our little buggy.

what floor are you on? im sure it will be fine. if freyja was newborn i would be concerned but shes that bit bigger now.
i was meant to have one big one small, that was the graco quattro deluxe and the beat buggy but the pop is so pretty i just had to buy it too!

We're in a maisonette (sp?!), so out of a three storey building, we have the second and third. Hope that makes sense! Before that, well, it was a bit complicated to explain, haha, but still had lots of steps!

oh btw i just remembered the new flat might be a bit creepy...i dont know if it was my flat exactly but in 2002 a woman killed her 5 year old son with a golf club then jumped from the window in my stair...i found a newspaper article on it when i googled the street name trying to get a picture of it up. oops! scary biscuits. nothing new though, there has only been one house i have ever lived in that didnt have something going on in it so its no big deal

Oh god, that would've freaked me out a bit. To my knowledge there's nothing weird about here, but still, it's a different town, so that has it's own strangeness!

it is a bit freaky when you think about it as it could so easily have happened in one of our bedrooms but i am so used to weird goings on. this flat was quiet until i fell pregnant then i started seeing a cat in freyjas bedroom. one night when she was younger i was folding her clothes away and i had forgotten to put one of her tshirts in, so i opened the drawer and there was a tshirt laid across the top of the rest of them, unfolded, that i hadnt put there. people could easily pass that off as me being silly, but i honestly hadnt put it there. and when i was pregnant i came home to find her scan picture sitting on my couch. it had been pinned to the wall and the pin was still in the wall, but the picture wasnt ripped. jamie was working away so i knew it wasnt him. and someone tried the door when i was in the shower one morning, but the front door was locked and no one was in the flat.
but other than that this house has been relatively quiet.
i have been in houses that are alive with activity. i stayed in a shared mansion when i was about 10 and one family was scared out of a room when they woke up to find a man standing over them one night. i saw things and i kept sleepwalking, it was all very strange. for once, everyone who shared the house with me believed me because they all experienced things. jamie never takes me seriously, but thats because he isnt open to whats going on around him so he doesnt notice.

lol if i hadnt experienced it continuously from a young age i probably would be too!!! i still get spooked by things, its hard not to. but i just seem to be more open to these things. there was one time when i was 16, i found myself trapped in a bedroom completely paralysed by fear as i was home alone and heard a bang in the next room, then footsteps coming from there, across the landing and stopping outside the door of the room i was in. i was absolutely petrified and i was in there for hours til someone came home. in that house i often heard footsteps on the stairs and i once came down the stairs in the dark and wished i hadnt when i felt as if someone was standing right in front of me, completely in my space. i was crying by the time i got the light on it was terrifying! again though, no one believed me, except a friend who experienced it first hand!

I loved reading your stories Stace. I'm a big believer in the paranormal/spirit world, so i find all these sorts of stories fascinating!
I've had major deja vu's over the years, i predicted my sister in law would miscarry her first child, i have no idea why i thought that, but i got upset about it. The next day when mum picked me up from school she said "You know Lea.. (my sister in law)" and i said "..she's miscarried hasn't she?" and mum was slightly freaked that i knew!
Another was when i lived on the farm, and one of the calfs was apparently born stillborn - wasn't breathing or moving for half an hour, so they layed it on this grass area. I was about 8 or so, and i sat with it stroking it, i got really attached to it. Within minutes of sitting with it, it got up and started trying to walk! That could have been just a coincidence but it certainly spooked me and stuck with me for years.
A good family friend recently passed away, and i have mild OCD (handwashing), my hands are in a really bad state. Anyway, i buy Chat & Take a Break psychic magazines (come out every month), and in one of the pages it was advertising this hand balm for sore hands. I didn't think anything of it as i only glimpsed at it.
About 2 hours later i was sitting in mums room chatting to her, and i saw something out of the corner of my eye underneath a teddy on my mothers dressing table.
It was the EXACT same hand balm that was in the magazine - and she said the family friend, Morris, who passed away 3 weeks ago, gave it to her for when her hands were sore!! She'd never used it! I've been using it ever since and my hands are improving. hah. Weird.
I've had small paranormal experiences but nothing really intense to mention. I used to work in a village pub for over a year in the middle of nowhere, and was once left on my own to close the pub, and it was 11pm, pitch black outside, and i kept hearing banging/tapping, and i felt eyes boaring into me when i stood in the kitchen. The boss - Elaine - has many psychic evenings their, and has been told that the place is haunted by men who fought in WWI. I was like..dude..i'm not staying in here on my own again, lol.
Sorry, rambling! Could ramble all night about all of this sort of stuff, really love it!
i have always had a lift here....so stairs have never really been an issue for me!
