If I could be bothered to find all my reciepts I'd make a list but it'd be about 10 pages long.. I'll do a list of everything when I'm really bored and overdue!

..wowser. I "want" lots of things but I wont get them - I just want to make sure we have money available when baby is here in person.

I've been very sensible and opted for either slightly cheaper or second hadn items (apart from teh car seat which I refuse to compromise on) or I bought items that baby wont grow out of in 5 minutes.. probably spent about £500 in total. This includes all furniture, cotbed and car seat which will both last till he's 4, and all the other bits - carriers, stroller, steraliser, bottles, breast pump etc etc and room decoration (Paint, light fittings, mobiles etc). I may spend another £200 when we decode on the washable nappies that we want (I've bought one of a few and will see how LO gets on with each make). I also still need a bouncy chair and matress.

My best buy was probably the cotbed I got new off ebay and saved (according to the seller!) about €60 on comapred to if I bought it in the shops, or £5 for a breast pump off ebay.

What are changing mat liners...

I know its a bit much but like i say i can afford to do it with this baby i prob wont with the next lol I work 52-60 hr weeks. We been putting savings into bank to for when baby here. I also think to myself this is my first baby and i work really hard so why not. lol thats my way of making it feel acceptable to spend that on a pram when i could buy a second hand car cheaper lol. xxx

Yup, i no that feeling Im only 16weeks and i have nearly everything needed Im the most organised person i know and i just want everything to be ready for when the baby arrived. We are in the middle of getting our house built and i dont want to ba paniking buying for baby and house at the same time. All thats left for me to buy is pram, cot, car seat and bouncer. All of which other family members and friend sare kindly buying for us. Iv spent a fortune but i am enjoying it, i dont feel guilty

fifi,

i got my top 'n' tail bowl from wilkinsons for 98p

just thought i would let you know as you should have a wilkinsons near you as your in yorkshire.

Oh yes we do, thanks

I feel the same. People always moan at me for buying so much clothes (before i fell pregnant) and now my friend is telling me to slow down on baby. I work my not so little anymore, bum off 6 days a weeks and like u have put alot of savings away since i started working, so i will spend it on what i enjoy, afterall its what i enjoy doing. better than wasting it on drink and drugs

these are the ones i want to match the range i want for her.
