Hi everyone!
Yes I've been spending money, mainly on Daisy because she is actually growing out of her 3-6 month clothing. I still have some bits and pieces that have either been presents or clothes passed on to us for her to grow into too. I am not a fan of Tesco and usually shop in Asda or Mothercare for Daisy's things. I had a rethink about Tesco for clothes because Asda's range for babies is not as good as it used to be and Mothercare, although beautiful and well-made, is a bit pricey for things that Daisy will get mucky and stain. She is feeding herself a lot now, but the mess!!!
So this is what I got her:
* a pack of 3 white vests * £2.50, plain and simple, all that we need.
* 10 x small bibs * £6.00, we use these when we are feeding her or for the dribbles.
* 2 x hot pink leggings * £5.00, these go with a lot of her tops and she has grown out of the others.
* navy floral leggings * £3.00, dark leggings don't show the stains like pastel ones!
* bunny rabbit leggings * £3.00, because leggings are ideal for crawling.
* cow babygro with hood * £7.00, perfect for lazy days.
* rabbit hat * £3.00, this is cotton for now before it gets too cold.
* 2 x headbands * £2.00, way too big! She will grow into them.
* pink fluffy coat * £8.00, Daisy gets messy and we get through coats too. We have enough for this winter now to see us through.
* pink fluffy snowsuit * £10.00, in a larger size, ready for snow!!!
* navy pre-walker shoes * £4.00, she slips in socks and tights and has grown out of her pram shoes.
Total cost : £53.50
I also treated myself to some new underwear totalling £24.50. Sounds a lot, but one bra is £8 and my tights are £3 per pair. I neglect myself now because I put Daisy first just like I did when my children were little, but when you've got holes in your knickers... something has to be done... you never know...you might get hit by a bus!!!
Have a good weekend everyone!

That is a nice little stash for Daisy. She is a lucky little girl to have you.
ReplyDeleteWe can't have you going around in holey knickers lol

Ha ha Sylvia, the knicker situation is fine now!
DeleteWhen I worked I was on a silly wage as a Teaching Assistant that actually taught whole classes. My salary never matched my qualifications sadly, but I did save and thank God I did! I still have savings, but every now and then I dip in for Daisy. My husband could provide these things, but it's just something I do. Hopefully I will be able to go carbooting soon, as our favourite one goes on into early December xxx
When Daisy gets bigger you may be able to go back to work.
ReplyDeleteI worked on night duty when my kids were small. I only retired last Xmas at the age of 68.
Life is easier now.
