beds
Noah took a dive out of his cot on saturday night and seems most reluctant to sleep in his cot. we aquired zachs bed from a friend so any suggestions from where to pick up a cheap cheap bed?? its going to be a nightmare keeping him in bed now!!
also would you put your kids in together and use the other room as a play room or would you let them have their own room???

As for the rooms not experienced what it would be line but would think it's prob worth just putting them in together knowing that when they're a little older they'll only spend the whole night sneaking in and out of each others rooms, toys going here, there n everywhere. You can always put them in seperate rooms when they want their own space come teen years I guess it would also depend on how safe you think it would be to put them together though ..... I think I'd put them together anyway but you could always do a trial run and see how it goes.
I'm thinking to try zachariah in a bed soon as he prefers my bed to the cot so prob worth a try so.... If you find a bargain shop please let me know too thanks n good luck
We are planning on putting BRendan and Jacob in together eventually. There is a cot and bed in Brens room now and after the first week of getting Bren into a bed which was a bit of a nightmare he has been pretty good ever since and much prefers his bed. We have a safety gate on his door so he can't escape and go wandering in the night!!
Hope you find a bargain! xx
As for sharing rooms or not, we toyed with the idea before gracie came along. But we worked out there would be more problems if the boys were together. On occasions tho, they've slept in the same bed and sometimes are ok, others they are up early! Saying that tho, they have a separate toy lounge and their rooms are purely for sleeping in and keeping clothes in. Having a toy room is good, but toys still end up everywhere!
anyway back to beds - i have looked at Kiddicare you can get ones that have matress and duvet which are reasonsable and you can order on line and have delivered next day - ikea would be good but way too far for you to go! suppose good old argos or mothercare!
i'd have thought it'd be better to put kids in seperate rooms then they don't disturb each other if one is awake or noisy or whatever but I guess it depends on how good a sleeper they are.
You could always try freecycle for a bed and then just buy a mattress, or ebay usually can find decent stuff, or even as a cheap make do - we just bought cole one of these (she says hunting for the link) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=200345491855
for cole when we go camping and for at my parents when he's bigger and it seems pretty comfy and good - plus I sent the seller a best offer and got it for ??21 instead of ??24.50
