The chazzer is a great source of good quality baby stuff. Don't skimp on the newborn outfits, although babies grow fast you'll find yourself changing them several times a day (think milk, vomit-y regurges, occasionally baby poo so anything that might save you from washing at an inconvenient time will be a Godsend.

How many weeks to go now?

Yes, that's the plan with all the baby grows and vests lol, Might be my first baby but I've dealt with a few other people's and seen the results before lol.

I'm 30 weeks today, so on the down hill run to single digit weeks remaining :eek: and we've just moved into our house so we'll be donating some stuff back to the CS soon as we decided to move everything and then sort/clear to save ourselves some hassle :rotfl:

I was sorely tempted by a pair of italian leather shoes, with wedge heel, didn't look as it they had been worn much, but my late Mum always said people shouldn't wear hand me down shoes as a lot of ailments can be caught from them. Mind you, I often have my daughter's cast offs, but suppose that doesn't count! I am still regretting not buying them....they were lovely:(

I use anti-bacterial hand gel on the inside of shoes, I think that would kill most things. I wipe them out first and then let a good amount of gel air dry.

I spray inside with antibacterial spray and let them dry out, and have never had any problems.

My Dad always said that to me too. An aunt of his had said it to him and from then on he would never buy second hand shoes, and it put me off too. Although I have been known to buy them if they look virtually as new.

I have a hand foam from boots which is an anti-viral one, so I would just put some of that in.

That's about all I ever wear these days :rotfl: .

And slippers, but I wouldn't buy those in a c/shop unless they were BNWT in a sealed wrapper!
