Did anyone else read that article? My mum saved it and just gave it to me, it's facinating.
It's about how you can easily spend £10,000 in the first year of a childs life, but the woman who wrote the article managed to do it for £1,000.
At first I couldnt believe a child could cost that much, but having read it I realise all the hidden costs i had never considered, really scary. We certainly will be doing it on a budget, no way can i afford that much!
My neighbours just brought their baby home and i (very rudely) asked how much they paid for their pram (with carseat etc) and she said £700. I said "F^ck!" and she looked a bit shocked, but I realised I am going to have to start getting savy straight away!!
