If she does turn around and offer you the cot, take an opportunity to make your point VERY clearly - being that she was too slow, so TOO BAD !! ]]> Thu, 18 May 2006 22:23:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2513&PID=47064&title=argghhhh#47064 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2513&PID=47050&title=argghhhh#47050 Author: james

Good on you, Paws, for taking a stand, and making a decision! She was taking too long to give you an answer (what is it about family that thinks they can take forever?) and now she's missing out on an easy sale. Her loss, your gain (of that nice new cot!)]]> Thu, 18 May 2006 18:44:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2513&PID=47034&title=argghhhh#47034 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2513&PID=47028&title=argghhhh#47028 Author: pixeldust

I would have done the same thing. We got given a cot, and it took until last week to get it finished (repainted) so that Mason could sleep in it finally. I wish I'd just had the courage (and cash!) to go out and buy a new one at the start.

Don't forget to leave some things for when you finish work though. In my 3 weeks after finishing work I was SO BORED!]]> Thu, 18 May 2006 18:07:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2513&PID=47028&title=argghhhh#47028 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2513&PID=47023&title=argghhhh#47023 Author: my2angels

New cot - very well done. The cousin has taken this long that you could probably get by with not saying anything and they'll forget all about it anyway.

Ooooo that sounded very unsympathetic... wanted to say that I'd have got fed up with her taking so long too.

Atleast this way you avoid family dramas if she wanted more for the cot, or decides she wants it back etc.

And you get a BRAND NEW cot... I wish I'd had one!

Enjoy it Paws ]]> Thu, 18 May 2006 16:20:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2513&PID=47001&title=argghhhh#47001 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2513&PID=46989&title=argghhhh#46989 Author: Paws

good on you paws!! i think $300 for a second-hand cot is VERY generous offer and if i was the cousin i would've jumped at it!!! you would think she'd want it out of the way and the $$$ in the bank..i know i would anyway

yay for your brand spanking new cot!! ]]> Thu, 18 May 2006 15:11:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2513&PID=46987&title=argghhhh#46987 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2513&PID=46978&title=argghhhh#46978 Author: Sarah Beth

As I have said already, good for you! For me it shouldn't take this long to know if what you have offered is acceptable or not.

And, now you have a new cot, exactly in the style and colour you want!]]> Thu, 18 May 2006 14:10:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2513&PID=46978&title=argghhhh#46978 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2513&PID=46975&title=argghhhh#46975 Author: Paws

B and I finally reached the end of our tether today.

As some of you know, we were meant to be buying a cot second hand of his cousin but since this was discussed over a month ago she hasn't been able to come up with a cost of what she wanted for it.

So we made her a (generous) offer. Still no answer as to whether that was fine or not.

Now I know I'm only 22.5 weeks preggers but our thing is that we only have 3 months of work left for me which when your still needing to buy, well, everything, is not long. I've been wanting to get organised. I was dreading her turning around at the last minute and saying soemthing like, "I've changed my mind", or naming some ridiculous amount for the cot.

it hasn't been used for 2-3 years so we didn't think it would take THAT long to decide if $300.00 for the cot alone was good enough.

So after our last message was ignored last night, I marched on down to my trusted Mama Mia's and ordered a new Touchwood in snowflake wash, Heritage design. At least this way we get the cot we want!

Anyway, rant over. I know part of this is nesting and preggy hormones but I really wish when people offer things they then wouldn't muck a person around!
