Moneypuddle I am so jealous of your baby wardrobe, we don't have a wardrobe for our own clothes let alone mini_cub. You look so organised putting me to shameOverdraft = £1000 Emergency fund = £2500

Whether you can get tax credits, and how much you can get, depends on your own circumstances.
As a very rough guide, if your annual income is not above one of the following 'limits', you can probably get tax credits:- if you have one child it is £26,000
- if you have two children it is £32,200
- if you're single without children it is £13,000
- if you’re in a couple without children it is £18,000
So do we look at my partners pay combined with my maternity pay or my usual pay?0 -

Thanks kitten_pie
It was an old airing cupboard in our spare room, and we've replastered it where needed, put replacement shelves in, plus a rail, then painted it out white. Then had to seal it all to keep the spiders out!0 -

I dont think you can buy enough nappies as long as they are different types/sizes etc, and the same with wipes. We stock up each time we do our big shop. That way you dont really notice the cost.
Just having a bit of a sit down as a break from doing the nursery. We have a 4D scan on wednesday night when we are having gender confirmation, so after they 100% confirm its a boy, I can get the border put up - hurrah! Black out blinds to go up too!
Am feeling BIG today. This is a little old now, but my 22 week bump:0 -
