Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2013

How much does one of those run you, Kerri? Not to add to the list of things to buy, but a lot of little babies hate prams (both of mine did, and they have very different personalities) so I highly recommend also getting a baby carrier, like an Ergo or a soft wrap. And there endeth my baby-stuff recommendations, because honestly, babies don't need much.

(But if you walk a lot, I do believe that a good pram is a thing to invest in for your own sake)

(Okay enough baby talk now)

(But you will provide us with photos yes? Pleeeeeease?)

(Ahem)

Haha spagbol is first for the pictures but yes I will provide photos for you.

Pushchair is going to be circa. £500-£600, we're getting it from the baby show at the end of the month so hoping to get an entire package thrown in for the same we'd pay just for the pushchair. I also want a sling wrap thingy as I think pushchairs are cumbersome.


I've just checked my bank accounts and my expenses have gone in so I've updated my savings. I'm almost at 5% of my target exciting.

This month is flying by! I just realised I'm off home next week and have a tonne of presents to buy people: Dad's birthday, parents anniversary, mine and the OHs 5 year anniversary (:eek:) and my best friends 25th!

My Dad is so difficult to buy for as well...

5 years! WOW! Has he proposed yet?

Does your Dad like to grow veg? Does he like chilli's? I found some cool little growing kits on am4zon worked out 2 for £25 for a kitchen herb garden and a chilli & pepper growing kit, you grow 12 plants in total. They had a weird veg one too with purple carrots!

:rotfl: my OH thinks anything before 30 is a death sentence! So another 5 years at least. I only just reached a point where I don't think my friends are too young to get married any more!

My dad is hopeless. His hobbies are astronomy (expensive), photography (expensive), and camping, and absolutely nothing else. He's the sort that will buy something straight away if he wants it, so he doesn't need anything. I wish we could just do what our parents do - stick £50 in a card and let them sort it out!

:rotfl: Yeah I think I was the same at 25, I just got proposed to last Xmas I am 28 next week so maybe it will happen before you are 30, you never know
Photography is also my hobby but I just don't buy things for it, I got a canon 350d with two lenses 2nd hand on ebay and thats all i've bought in the last 4years, I make not bad pictures with it IMO too

Ooo happy birthday for next week! _party_

You never know, but I'm not going to count on it! I'm not too fussed just now, we both live at opposite ends of the country at the moment (though hoping to change that soon) and then we probably have to make sure we can still stand each other for more than 2 days again :rotfl:
