    O.k dumb moment but what is lanisinoh cream?! is that nipple cream?? think i used a free sample i got from maternity ward then used kamilosan which is a bit cheaper..............boots own is pretty good too. where are you going to get your crib mattress from? Kiddiecare.com has them from £15 (depending on what size you want.)

    ok, enough of me telling you how to suck eggs..............(sorry:o )
    love rags

  • yeah it is nipple cream and i know its a lot (for some cream) thats why im including it in the costs etc - but its really good and much better then the others i tried before and believe me i needed it!! lol. so worth paying extra for it - i have seen you can get it cheaper on the internet so might get it a little cheaper.....

    didnt think about kiddiecare so will have a look on there -

    Dh finally sorted some bits out for me and he got the pushchair and car seat out of the garage and its got horrible bits on it and looks a bit likt mold!!! not happy at all (ok granted there isnt lots....) but i hope i can take all covers off and clean them or something - going to give it a go tomorrow! I really dont want the cost of a new travel system - we have a mamas and papas prammete (or however you spell it!) and they cost a fortune so hope it will clean up ok!

    anyway i have sky+ danicing on ice as i love it so i better go and watch it now...

    Mummy, my prammette was the same after storing for a little while in the garage before ds2 was born but it did clean up well. (I can't believe I spent that much money on a travel system for ds1, had to get my moneys worth by having ds2 !! lol)
    Following :money: to keep us debt free :j
  • yeah i will look into the cashback it doesn all help!
    1 hannah i got a mamas and papas for no1 and it was all horrible after storing so we just got a new one didnt even try - so i have brought two of them!! madness for the amount the cost! Had a quick wipe last night and looks like it will come of so hopefully it will be ok later! No way im spending that much again....i want a new stroller anyway when baby is a bit bigger so not worth spending loads for a few mths! (my stroler has pink bits so i might have to get a new one (might need blue :) ) but if not i want a new one anyway as mine is a nightmare to push!!) just thought ill have to change my name if it is a litle boy....

    Going to toddlers this morning i think - dd is upset dd1 has gone to school so will keep her busy for a little bit.. and I get tea and biscuits and to sit down for a bit :)

    We are soooo skint this week - and I really dont want to have to get any out of the paternity savings..... dh found a £5 last night and i got all excited (how sad!!!) thinking i can get a few more bits without going into the savings money - but ofcourse he has taken it to work to blow on rubbish!!

    Will upate on the pushchair when i have got round to doing it.....

  • well i got a letter from te loan people wit a £25 charge for the returned dd!! even though they got it a few days later :mad:
    So all together my stupid mistake will of cost us about £80!!:mad: not very happy with myself but nevermind..... will have to pay that when dh gets paid... the bank charges will be next mth...

    Let dd1 play on the comp while eating a biscuit yesterday - not a good idea as now think there is crumbs under the keys so sometimes when i press things it doesnt show up!!will have to try and get them out later...
