Yeah but like them people who were pregnant had spent 400 quid on a wardrobe, or something like that, I couldnt believe it! I just used my 40 quid one from ikea. Got my pram off ebay too. Am I a tightarse? I never spent nowhere near 4 grand on my baby! I reckon about 800 quid was about what I spent on the essentials.

I'm not surprised it's that much but I think some people do go a bit silly with stuff for a baby especially.

This time around I'm not having the house full of toys and accessories. Just what we/LO needs that's all. My 1st son was spoilt silly with presents at Christmas and birthdays. He used to enjoy the boxes, wrapping paper and playing with some balloons more than the presents!

i have to say i dont really see the point in spending alot of money on baby stuff considering how long they wear/use them so basically most of our stuff is second hand (hand me downs, ebay etc) and things brought for us
although saying that when baby does come along i dare say we may change our minds and want to spoil them rotten being our first

 

[Redshoes]

Is most of that on taxes
That is shocking, what age is that up to?
