In terms of standard maternity wear (not work wear) does anyone know from experience whether individual outfits or bundles tend to sell the best on ebay?

I found individual items sold best... but I hate ebeast it is full of theives and liars now.. it used to be so good.. i've put mine on Netmums first.

There is a bit for 'selling' on the Parents club group on FB.. but I am being thick and can't find the link..

Morning ladies! Sorry its been a while, its been a little umm..busy!


I've posted the birth story here (sorry don't know how to do the other linky thing)https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/1714725

Congrats to all new babies, and labour vibes to all boldies (VB, Cutterby, Teenie &Nic).

Loving being a mummy, just can't stop looking at her and wondering how we made something so beautiful had a really good go at b-feeding but unfortunately it hasn't worked for us, having said that, Eloise is doing well on f-feed (and starting to sleep for a good 3/4 hours at a time). Recovery wise, SPD symptoms are nearly gone (woohoo!), went for a 3 mile walk yesterday and no aches or pains today (its been a while since that last happened!), just a few stretch marks (where my belly button piercing used to be-boo!) and despite putting on nearly 2.5 stone, I'm only 4lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight, not sure how that happened!

EA-Are you still having yours at QA? Even though I was planning on having her at the midwife led unit, this didn't happen but I was REALLY impressed with QA, it was alot less stressful having her there than I initially thought!

Ooh for those who are swaddling-I thought this was for every baby as they liked being snug like in the womb-apparently not! Eloise loves sleeping with her arms up so hates swaddling! Sleeping bags are the way forward apparently!

Hope everyone is well will try and have a read back later.

Thanks for all support and advice xxxxxxxxxxxx

Ohh congratulations BB, she's beautiful :j

I go bold tomorrow - wooo! Still having some pains, but nothing to get excited about (odd sentence, could only be from a pregnant woman!).

We put a deposit down on a new car today :cool: Get to pick it up Friday, and I am so excited, it's lush. So hopefully bubs will arrive either side of Friday, so I can go too :cool: It's an estate so we can fit the seat in, plus have a comfortable driving position, better journey down the winding bumpy country roads to my mums and near where we live, fit buggy in plus loadsa shopping. Woo! Will be harder parallel parking, but I'll get used to it :rotfl: Was odd test driving it; wearing flip flops due to swollen feet, huge belly, SPD and not having driven for about 2 months :rotfl: Then we stopped off for a yummy Chilli Con Carne to celebrate :cool:

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the nice weather. Pity about the wind here, but still nice. Going to have pork and jacket potatoes done on the BBQ later with coleslaw and salad

I'm not even a user on Netmums ... may have to have a nosy. We use ebay every now and again, and haven't really had any problems before to be honest with either buying or selling.

I'll prob do individual items then and start them all at 99p and see where they end up. That'll keep me busy for the week if I make a start tomorrow on stuff I know I'm not going to wear any more

Hello again hope everybody has had a good day.

Sparkle hope you get the hair problem sorted tonight.

Hi Becky hope you get your wish with arrival date.

Digital new car sounds lovely hope all goes well with picking it up. . We got a new one a few months ago when we realized that 2 car seats and an almost teenager were never going to fit well in the back.....never been so pleased about trading a car in in my life as I disliked that one from the second we collected it from the showroom

MrsS good luck with eBay I am building up to selling a few things on there as have never been brave enough to yet. . :rotfl:

We got our pram today and after a bit of a mix up and confusion I ended up being refunded £100.00 of what I had originally paid for it! Was very very pleased and I also totally love it.

Hi All,

Just checking in Have had a mega busy weekend but am glad in a way because now tomorrow is our second scan date we are 21 weeks and 1 day now, kicks and punches are definately there and much more prominant and OH has been lucky enough to get kicked in the head (by baby not me, im not that agile normally never mind when pregnant lol)

Congratulations on all of the births, hope those boldies are getting labour vibes we are sending and welcome to all the newbies.

Am cream crackered so off to watch TV with OH and talk about how much we are not going to find out what flavour baby is tomorrow unless they decide to flash us and make it obvious.

Hope everyone has a good nights sleep!

Hi Ladies, I hope everyone is well?

Congratulations on the births, and labour vibes to those in need.

Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for baby monitors? I feel like i've been looking at models for weeks but am no nearer to chosing one - i'm sure i was never this indecisive before i became pregnant! Personal recommendations would come in very handy.
