Plug sockets shouldn’t be used in UKs sockets as they are safe as they are
- baby has taken a liking to opening kitchen cupboards
- can’t think of much else

Sorry guys, random Vinted q!

I only ever buy on there but really need to start selling baby stuff do I have to have access to a printer for the labels or anything or is that all done at the store I take it to?

You can toggle your settings so you only accept postage options that are printerless if you don’t have one

Kitchen cupboards are the main one. My pro tip is to leave a lock off your Tupperware cupboard as baby runner can happily unpack all my boxes for hours while I cook

Don't cover the plug sockets as it actually makes them more dangerous for UK sockets.

Tbh, apart from the stairs, I've never baby proofed anything.
Cupboards I've just taught them no. (as much as I have to repeat it constantly )
I was going to put a lock on the one with the cleaning stuff in but in the end we didn't as she's never in there alone anyway

I haven’t got a printer either and had to play around with the settings for a while. I found Royal Mail didn’t work for me as the online price is different to what you pay in store when you go and get the label printed so I was losing 50p each sale. I was conned by evri because it said I could print at the corner shop but then when I got there he said it’s the wrong bar code (I had to join the library and pay to get it printed ). For me, I have found Yodel works the best for me as you can print those as my local co op. I think the inpost lockers are supposed to be good for if you haven’t got a printer but I’ve never used them as there always seems to be problems with them being full! So I have now turned off the other options apart from yodel (and UPS which I can’t turn off)

Wow, sorry for the essay - I’m a vinted-holic

What a clever girlie
 
I got mine from my first years. The only thing you need is some spare clothes, bibs, hats etc. I leave a coat on her peg.

Sooooo it turns out her ‘viral rash’ is actually hand foot and mouth can’t catch a bloody break
We’ve just had that. It’s horrid nursery lurgy

We have handles on our kitchen cupboard doors, that we have had to stick wooden spoons in them because we have no locks baby is getting used to not going near them now. After catching his finger 🫠

Just noticed this on baby. The docs are going to tell me viral, aren’t they

Sounds to me like you’re a great mum who is doing Everything she can to make sure her glorious baby is cared for well. Definitely get on to your legal people asap x
Just to say though, you do need to be very careful about coats and car seats. Thick coats, or anything puffy, shouldn’t be used in the car seat. Better to dress her normally, and use a blanket over the straps

Viral + chest infection antibiotics for now, but to keep an extra close eye on him. Kicking myself. Should’ve taken him to out of hours at the weekend. Should’ve taken him up in the early hours of this morning. Hope he gets better soon xx

You can only do your best, lovely, and if we took them up every single time they were a bit wheezy we’d be up non stop. The important thing is he’s got his antibiotics now, and he’ll be on the mend asap x

Get on to your solicitor as soon as you can. When does he next have her?

Just incase you're not aware, coats shouldn't be worn in a car seat

Just seen @Definitelyme posted a link for it

Guys I’m in a soft play and we’re the only people here. Even the staff have left. It feels like it’s haunted or something and I’m gonna get ghosted by a ghost
