    Evening all.
    I have been invited to a baby shower.
    I remember Di doing one not long ago.
    Can I ask what sort of pressies are expected please????

    I always thought it bad luck to buy clothing before the baby is born or is my thinking old fashioned?

    I need a baby stuff glitch!

    Stuff for the baby. I personally don't have any problem giving baby clothing before baby is born, and have done so a number of times. If however you feel uncomfortable buying clothing, then perhaps give a Mothercare gift voucher, or a baby blanket, or baby toys, or a memory box for mom to keep a few bits such as hospital tags, first tooth, bit of hair from first hair cut, cards from friends and family, etc. in.

    Quite a few bargain toys at my asda tonight as well. She was just reloading the shelves. Also some very cheap diy stuff. I got white spirit 3litre for 35p from 3.50. Also harris paintbrushes a set under 50p and some tins of gloss paint for 7p so worth checking your local

    Thankyou bubbs for the quick reply
    For everyone asking yes I was talking about the instant custard powder (15p) not the can (I don't like the cans of custard I find that they have a weird taste to them :( I mix milk with the custard powder instead of water and it tastes soooo much more nicer and creamer)

    Also hugs to Snap and JTS !

    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)
