            Happy Saturday everyone!
 Toomuch - glad you are getting Xmas bargains!
 I have gotten quite a few bargains in Boots at their events nights! On Thursday I got my Dad's xmas present and my sisters birthday present, as well as a present for a friend who had a baby. All were bargains! Then with my Boots points I had saved up I bought an electric bottle sterliser, nappies, disposable wipes (eco - lol!) and things like disposable underwear etc for the hospital. I was thrilled to be able to get so much. Does anyone know how long a baby stays in newborn nappies? I want to get cloth ones as well but want to mix and match so I am not under pressure at the beginning! I doubt my baby will be too much over 8lbs (judging by bump) although I was measuring a week ahead yesterday when I went to the midwife 
 PAID - well done on the extra payments. That is a serious amount to overpay. I also have holiday debts that I am not including in this challenge so I need to focus on paying some of that off as well!
 CAFC - hope you are feeling okay now. Might be an idea to ring NHS Direct to see what they say. I got horrible round ligament pains at 20 weeks and had to go to the GP to get it checked out but it was grand.

            CMD well done on the bargains.
 Its a long while since I had a newborn but Hannah was in newborn nappies for a good few months and she was a big girl. You get through so many of them that even if you have stockpiled quite a lot you should easily use them all to be honest.

 Thanks Doodles! Will start to stockpile quite a few then I want to have as much gotten before the birth as possible. The last thing I want is to run out of nappies when the baby is a few days old!My friends were telling me how many nappy changes you need to do per day. I was shocked. They are stinky little things aren't they! I want to have as much gotten before the birth as possible.
