    Guess who's had an offer on their house, not a very good one but a starting point.

    :eek: I don't think there's anything wrong with spending that much but where on earth do you find the space to put all that stuff?
    Big budget doesn't always mean lots of stuff... I haven't added up what we've spent on each child but we're getting Aimee a DSi which is over £100 on it's own, and Caitlyn has a playhouse which we will put up inside for a couple of months while the weather is bad, but will go into the garden in spring... Both of them will play with it and it cost me £96 delivered, which is bargainous considering it's less than 12 months old, very lightly played with and they're £400 new...

    I've actually reigned myself in this year because we can't physically fit any more into this house... And it's very difficult to get rid of things when you have a child that plays with everything... My friend has the opposite problem, her children don't really play with toys and she struggles with what to buy them... I have no problem buying things for Aimee because she loves everything...

    Oh, and I managed to hand over the bunny yesterday with no fuss, she was far more interested in Aimee's guinea pig at the time... Although, so was the little girl that got the bunny lol...
    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.

    Estate agent said no for us. To be fair they have been offered 30k less on theirs so they thought they would try that on ours. I'd have had a try. They've gone back to try get their offer up.
