Re Xmas, I can only buy the 'go withs' as and when I seem them through the year as we ask family and are asked what we would like instead of random gifts. I get 'What? Are you mad?!' when I start asking too early! :rotfl:.

We all roughly spend the same amount on each other so I allocate it all into a seperate account. And, shock, I use a notepad and pen kept in my bag at all times to keep track! :eek:. How quaint! .

what is this notepad you speak of?


I'm not sue if this will be o use to anyone but we get OH's grandad THIS for chrimbo every year, he loves the perdy photos in it

I HATE CHRISTMAS!

We are doing a car boot tommorrow, my mum is having Aston overnight tonight and OH's mum is having Ry-Ry, this is the first night i'll be away from him, I dont want him to go

Anyway, how much should we charge for baby clothes?
I've got about 4 nappy boxes worth, one of the boxes is full to the brim with just 0-3 monhts vests and sleepsuits!

I've just acquired one of those for next year, mostly so I can stop myself buying enough stuff to last us till Christmas 2012. A record that lives in my bag is much more immediate than the one in my computer.

I'm glad you have a vast amount of vests and sleepsuits, it makes me feel better about our clothing mountains. I've just gone through the monster's 0-3 month clothes now she fits it, and divided out half of it to send to Husband's sister who's due to drop next month (we have too much to fit in the monster's chest of drawers!!).

We still have enough vests and sleepsuits for the monster to wear two a day for two weeks without doing laundry, and about 20 bibs. Scary.

I have just been on the glitch on boots 3 toys for the price of 1. Only problem is it's got 2 be 3 of the same toy, ok for giving away as pressies. My confirmation is thru but that doesn't mean I'm getting it but worth a try.

ETA not much left and it has to be the things that are 1/2 price and not 3 for 2 items

Thank you! I think I was just in time for the bargains! :j.

WTG Caz Are the kids as excited as you sound?

Sami_Bee

Tia do you NEED to go? if so can Chris go in the trolley seat and Amber in a sling? (do you have a sling/carrier and a supermarket that has the trolleys for big kids?)
AM - there is a giude price thing in the ebay/carboot etc forum, Weezl posted a copy a while back, I think it was 10-20p per item for baby clothes, would you maybe be better off doing bundles on ebay?

cazscoob

only the 3 little ones have seen the place! so its a big surprise for the bigger ones! we are having another viewing to measure up next sat. they are a bit of mixed emotion as they have settled so well here but i think it will be a good move!
oh i think a huge tv might have fallen into my trolley:D
