Congratulations Carl! We have twin boys 4 months old, so if you need any clothes we've got plenty!


Thanks mate, Sara has been well prepared and as her job as a fashion buyer you can imagine she has managed to get her hands on a serious amount of clothes through her work for literally peanuts.

Do you still do your detailing?

Carl


Lol your Mrs is a buyer too, our house is mostly kitted out with free samples or heavily discounted items that the wife has got through work!
Still doing the detailing in my spare time, just don't seem to have much of that at the moment! If you need anything doing let me know.

Cheers, will do, I have a bright red car and its got some swirls that I have made better but it needs the magic touch.


On a different note, I thought as the baby and mother are coming home tomorrow I better get some shopping in, wash some clothes, do some pots etc, oh and the hardest bit of all was fitting the iso fix base to the BMW, f**k me, took me twenty minutes to get the bloody thing in, first of all I got an old towel to protect the seat, then I just couldn't work out how the things could fit as the mounts are located a good cm behind the seat but with only a few mm on the vase unitDunno

Well after much faffing the thing has a hidden button that extends these mounts and after that it was plain sailing.

I can't see this car lasting long with only two doors, might be a bit to much, she thinks she can manage, we shall see, any one interested in a 120 d cabriolet, 28k miles?

Carl

Ha I know what you mean about the seats and the bases. Recaro do a faux leather seat protector for about £15 that goes under the bases. 3 doors and babies is a no no. I like to open the door click the seat in hear the beep and know I'm ready to goThumbs up
Give me a couple of weekend dates and I'll see if I can do the polishing for you.

Hey Carl, know how tuff it can be with the ups and downs and the pain of them not being able to come home straight away, our twins spent 4 weeks in NICU and the wife wasn't allowed home for a week. I hope everything is fine and that the little one is adjusting to being at home now!

Thanks People, baby lost 13% of his weight over four days so they wanted to keep an eye on him, as you can imagine the girl friend got very upset, deep down as he was a large baby I wasn't that worried, he then got given the all clear but the girl friend had a couple of large bruises pop up on her stomach which then got her told to gave to stayRoll eyes

He has now been home for just over 24 hrs, he is such a cute little fatty it's unreal, trying to be the house maid,work and all the other stuff has basically killed me, plus my job and demanding customers it's left me all worn out.

Check this handsome lad out having a snooze-



On mum-



And one with him chilling with me-



Carl
