    Will be back with pictures

    Congrats and all that but posting pics of your new baby to a load of strangers on an internet forum?

    I'd give that a swerve if I were you.

    Well, considering my daughter is safe at home with me, I don't see why not. I'm not one of those over paranoid parents convinced that if strangers see pictures of my baby, something bad might happen.

    People use an alias on here so that others in the real world dont know them.

    By posting a picture you allow anyone who knows your baby all the info (about you) on this thread.

    If that doesnt bother you than fine.

    Thank you! I'm just waiting for my maternity allowance to come through, plus still need to apply for tax credits (waiting on statement of earnings first). Once all that is sorted, I'm in a much better position!

    My next focus is saving as much as I can and getting the hell out of this dump I'm in!

    :D

    No, that's a good point. Only because I've revealed some financial information about me...
