Glam, I havent been able to find a new cot bed cheaper than that, so it may be worth buying it then just ebaying what you dont need. I managed to find a cot in a charity shop for £7.99 and have bought a new mattress. Depends how MSE you want to be..... having just reread that, I realise that doesnt help at all lol sorry :rotfl:

Hi Glam

I didnt think the argos set looked too bad and its OK value when you weigh up the contents, got my changer from cdiscount for £30 and I was given our cot but a similar one is £100 so even if you dont use the safari stuff then its a nice pair for that money.

Glam - I sold it via Free Ads - they have an online site adtrader so the ads go online as well as in the paper. Not sure if you have one covering your area

In terms of the argos deal I'd be tempted to get it and sell on the stuff you don't want, it seems like a really good deal. :money:

Sorry Glam, just realised I misread your post a bit, yep 'A' ebay the bits you dont want, i wasnt gonna have a changer but the thought of being able to do things at a nice high level and having all the bits to hand convinced me

Thanks everyone

We have probably kitted bean out for less than £100 (and that includes most of the big things) so far with buying everything second hand so in our opinion it is a lot to spend but OH's mum wants to buy the cot and she wants it to be new.

I've not got that much faith in eBay either Krystal.

Well I'll sleep on it and maybe see how I feel about it in the morning.

Oh, free ads - used to get that when I lived in Wales in fact bought my first car from Free Ads. I will have a look an see if there is one for this area - have OH's weight bench to sell as well and I don't think eBay will do them justice.
Thanks tink

Quick question - are bouncers useful? Are they good for babies or a waste of money? And how long can a baby use one for (age-wise)? I can't decide if we need one or not.

Glam, I like that cot bed. I'd think about getting it if I had the cash for that right now.

a bouncy chair??? yes they are useful a number 1 item in my opion. erin is usually in hers a lot during the day as she likes to watch us and when she will not settle or we are trying to eat you can bounce her and she falls asleep! they are usually in them for a good few months, until they can get out or sit up!

Invaluable IMHO. Think they were in it till about 6 months. Means they can be awake and nosey but you can go do things without having to hold on to them. Plus, they are so close to the floor that if they do fall out (usually when they are older and starting to sit up) they won't get hurt.

And good for if they want weaning before they can sit in a highchair.

just been looking at other cotbeds and can't find a nice one like the Argos one for that cheap so am swaying towards it now. God I change my mind so much!

Going to watch BGT and get a big bowl of ice cream and some mini creme eggs.

Have now put on 3.3kg so far, it's this sweet tooth!
