I want this! :(

I know it's ridiculously expensive, but I really, REALLY want this cot set! It's exactly my taste. I love the colours and I love images of leaves and birds and things.

How can I justify the expense? Is saying I am working full-time in agony from back problems at an uncomfortable desk in an office with no windows enough justification?

that is really gorgeous

the one i want is £65, i thought that was expensive if you can afford it, go for it hun, maybe you could look for a john lewis online discount code?

you have a few weeks left so maybe keep an eye out on ebay?

or you could just get it if you can afford it as your special purchase as a treat for working so hard and maybe save some money on other items?

I'm certainly not rich. I work hard as does my husband, but we are both students as well... Saying that, though, I have made a budget and if we manage to stick to it we will be saving a lot so maybe this or some other thing I fall in love with can be my special reward? It took me literally all day to do the budget. I used a spreadsheet with formulae and everything!

LOl i did this too, i just wanted a rough idea of how much kitting her out would cost and spent like a whole day doing it.

For me it's too much to pay for it, but if it's as your special treat then why not??

Mine was £40 AND on sale and even then i thought it was expensive!

Ha! I looked at the ones in Mothercare for around £50 and said to my husband "That's ridiculous! I hate Mothercare! Morons!" Or something like that... and now I want something that is twice the price!

The budget I made was for every expense (but I left room for fun stuff) for the next year! I included bills, groceries, rent, EVERYTHING as well as what we should be getting from student loans and pay, etc. The only thing I didn't count was child tax credit (?) because I plan to get that paid straight into a savings account so I can forget I even get it.

will baby be in a crib or moses basket at first?

if they are not going straight into a cot maybe you could wait and you may get money off people and family when baby is born that you could put towards it?

I say buy it if you love it, nothing else will compare. If you both work hard then you deserve to splash out as you'll def enjoy it. Bugger the budget! x

Thanks! Even if I don't buy this there are a few things I want to get at John Lewis so I will definitely use the code!

It's lovely!! My husband wanted that exact same one, but I had to shut him down. We've splurged on too many other things though. I think you should think about it for awhile and if you still love it then go for it.
