    Whoo, just made another £21.62 for the Baby Fund - recycling three old phones with Envirofone :D Will add it to my total once I get the cheque (or on the last day of April if my total needs boosting! ;)).

    We need a new garden shed. I've just gathered together all the Tesco Clubcard vouchers we have and we've got £48.50. Not sure whether to spend them at Tesco Direct on the shed (and it's double points this weekend too), or to save them for either emergencies when mat pay goes to lower SMP. Don't think there's any Deals I want to convert them too.. except maybe a few magazine subscriptions but I need to remind myself a shed is more important than a magazine! :cool: :o ETA: Oh, just found another £5 in vouchers! :D

    I bought that moses basket and stand the other day and I really don't like it. It's white brocade this one in fact.

    I wonder if you can get replacement covers for them? I didn't actually want a basket, just the stand but now I have it I may as well use it (may put it on the ad trader for a few weeks first). Hmmm, what to do, what to do.

    My crib has been dismantled and put away and the chair has been hidden (didn't tell DH about that one!), but it's mamas and papas vibrating one with the the bar and 3 teddies! Will sneak it out later and say I got it from somebody :D

    I feel a bit better too, some sweets and irn bru and finally the pain killers have worked. :j

    That's the same basket as we have Tia... Think you can probably get new covers for them, don't know how cost effective it is though... You could always just take the covers off and have it plain...

    Talking about chairs... I had a rocker I bought for Aimee when she was a baby that ended up at my Mum's house... She lent it to a friend without my knowledge and I've been asking her to get it back for weeks... She rang me last night to say her friend had sent her a chair... But it's not mine?! (Just a basic bouncer chair) It's ok though... She said she'd give me a tenner towards a new one... Yeah thanks Mum, the original rocker cost £45!
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    oh this is my hidden bouncy chair

    I'm tight so can't believe someone would pay that! :rotfl:

    ETA, new covers are between £15-£25 on ebay (lollipop lane?) so might get some. Or might just use it plain. May as well use it, the basket, stand and chair were £30 and I will make my money back by selling just the basket and stand (I like the chair). Didn't realise I had gotten such a bargain.

    Thanks Tia :p

    Sorry! But you have seen just how tight I am! I moan about not winning a pram when I bid a whole 99p! :rotfl:

    I love that chair now :D
