    You shouldn't have to hold your tongue though...thats the point. Who are people to comment about these things? Just out of interest, how old is your little one?
    she's coming up to 8 months now.
    Skint, but happy (ish):p

    Hey Twinkle,

    I wouldn't worry too much. I am expecting similar comments although probably more behind my back.

    My boys would be 6 months and I am 5 months pregnant. My body isn't taking it too well either.

    It is no one else's business but yours and your OH.

    Within a year I will have given birth to 3 babies.

  • You may know about this but just incase you don't. Asda have a baby club and when you join you print out a voucher for a free huggies starter pack worth £5. You and your partner can both join and get a voucher each. At the moment the huggie starter pack is only £3 but the voucher still takes off £5. Inside the pack are vouchers for £2 off newborn nappies, £1 off wipes and £2 off little swimmers. I have been using the vouchers to get another starter pack and a free pack of wipes as they are £1 at the moment so it's only costing me £1 for both. The starter pack contains a pack of nappies, pack of wipes and a pack of something else, not sure what it is but it's like a roll of dry wipes. Obviously you then get more vouchers to do it again and again. HTH.

    I only got the 2 asda packs and then saved the vouchers for other offers like when sainsburys did huggies wipes buy 1 get 2 free. Still need to buy loads of wipes though, think am going to buy in bulk though, also looking at the just 4 bums nappies and considering buying a box of them. Don't think i've got enough nappies in stock yet.

    Waitrose have these on offer http://www.waitrose.com/shop/ProductView-10317-10001-2758-Pampers+New+Baby+Newborn+1%2C+2%2525252D5kg+54s
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    We are looking for a 3 in 1 travel system...but a bit clueless on brand and which one to get. Any help gratefully received (even though we don't intend to buy yet...but do need to budget).

    It totally depends on your needs Hun. You need to think about storage space in your house, size of car boot, eight of you and your other half and of you want rear or forward facing. It's a minefield. We got the mamas and papas switch as it suited our needs. Full travel system and all accessories second hand for £150. With my first I had a bebecar rversus which I also loved but other half hated it and we ended up buying a lighter stroller.
    love you lots like jelly tots :o

    But this way you don't pay anything for the wipes at all and you also get another pack of wipes in the starter kit.
