    if your near an ikea, your in heaven for baby furniture.

    You take care, any strange cravings yet?????? it was weird as I use to love Indian food and cider, yet before I found out was pregnant, gone out for a meal with a friend, couldn't face either, I craved Tetley Bitter, could be only be Tetley and canned shandy. Never forget once in Tesco, they were out of stock on the shelves, and I asked these lad, and he said theres some in the back, but I can't be bothered to get them till later, I remember (thou v embarrased now), I shouted I'm 7 mths pregnant, I'm craving shandy........ I've never seen anyone move so fast!

    ......
    I'm glad you've got all the support re getting a bigger place, just get everyone u can behind you.
    If you do get any 2nd hand stuff, charity shops are always grateful, sometimes people don't always think and come with x,y,z.

    yeah i will pass on any stuff i can't use to charity, probably mind, seems appropriate somehow!

    my in laws got us a gift card for ikea for xmas which is enough to cover the mamut full bedroom set which i think is adorable :)

    my cravings are wierd- beans on toast and apples, can't get enough of either! goign through about 3 bags of apples a week and 6 or 7 tins of beans!

    www.wilkinsonplus.com good luck finding something similar :)
  • These are amazing, would love to do something like this next Christmas, so need to keep my eyes open I guess. Could we post any bargains we find on here?

    yeah good idea :)
  • I have made up a list of various hampers and gifts I could make (based on this thread) with rough costings. Looks like those who aren't fans of homemade will not be happy this year. I think they look great. Keep the idea's coming everyone (just so I can steal them ;)).
