    Morning LL

    Hehe I bet hubby is feeling the pressure of finding work now you are cooking a baby. It might help :).

    I imagine you have a good 7-8 months before the little one comes along. Alot can happen in that time.

    This will be a REAL test of your MSE talents. Finding all the baby stuff cheaply. I must admit to feeling pig sick about the amount of money I spent buying brand new baby stuff for mine, when stuff on Ebay is virtually being given away.
    Especially cots & buggies. The only thing you HAVE to have brand new is the cot mattress.

    I am really excited for you. Its nice to have something to plan for and look forward to.

    Have a great day xxx

    Wow congratulations to you!

    If your near nottingham there is a carboot at Calverton which shouldn't be too far for you and it gets massive come spring/summer and I have always bought loads of baby stuff dirt cheap from it. Good thing is you can haggle and dont have postage to pay! lol

    Also join all the baby clubs online like boots and pampers and you get sent loads of vouchers etc.
