    Have you uploaded it onto photobucket courgette?

    If so click on it so that it's full page. At the left hand side there's a little box that says 'share this picture' Highlight and copy everything that is in the IMG code box. Then click on the picure of mountains on reply screen on here and paste your link in. Delete the at the start and end of your link and that should work.  That's what I do anyway!

    The bumper was from toys r us in their bargain bin - I have seen something very similar in the local Asda Living Store tho. (I'm sure it's the same - was £30 and you got bumper and various other bits and pieces)

    The fleece blanket was mothercare, quite pricey at £22 (I got it with 20% off) and then I have just used neutral sheets from argos. The winnie the pooh ones were so expensive and I didnt see the point when you can't see them. I have the matching lampshade and mobile, also from mothercare, but I got the mobile off ebay bnib for £15 less than mothercares prices!

    Michelle M - My DH and I have the same argument sometimes. We don't 'need' to buy things 2nd hand or look for as many bargains as I do, but I don't see the point in paying full price for something if I can save money! I'd rather have the money put away in savings to give us and bubs a good future.

    Thanks Gill, I am aiming for a similar 'neutral' look to my nursery so I too can use items again for baby no 2... ahem... ! <mind you maybe I should concentrate on this one atm!

    I have got a seaside themed cot bumper and catching sheets which i really like, but i have had my heart set on winnie the pooh! A friend dropped a cot off at my house today that they didnt want, I hope its ok and then that'll be one less expense. My OH is the same as some of yours, saying to me that I dont have to do things so cheaply!! He really wants to buy a new pram so we might just get that, I just hate the idea of spending loads of money and the baby probably wont appreciate it, would rather keep money for when they're older and asking for stuff!!

    No, we decided not to (or rather I didn't want to know :p). It was very difficult yesterday at the scan though not asking! I think it makes the whole birth thing more exciting if you dn't know too,

    lol. I just don't want to say the same thing that I did to my DD when she was born. I hate myself to this day for it.

    what happened? With us, although we will be delighted with whatever we get, I think we'd both 'rather' have a girl. My slight worry was that one of us would feel slightly dispointed with a blue one then feel really guilty. I also think genuinely there's too few things that are left secret in life and I can't wait for the moment when hubby hands me our little bundle and tells me what flavour it is :A

    Well all through my pregnancy my mum and I were certain it was a boy. I looked down and my exact words were "Oh no, It's a girl" :o

    I'm not a very paitent person though :o

    I dropped my son on his head when he was a few weeks old. On a hard floor from about 4 foot off the ground too :o I think we all make mistakes, at least she won't remember! :A

Poor kid looked totally bemused but never cried:eek: Maybe that explains why he's a little dim now:o:rotfl:
