As much as we would love to spend on brand new items, why the fuck would I spend a £800 - £1k on a pram?? That is just ridiculous, especially if you earn under £100k a year!! IMO anyway
Our friend has given us this for FREE, so a saving of £500-£800 and its pretty much brand new.

The baby aint going to remember and to be honest, we are opening up a savings account for our baby girl and everythign we are able to save on, is going into her savings acocunt. I think that is a much better way to spend the money as you never know what is going to happen later on in life. I might die early and then Penny is fucked as I earn most of the dough so just being realistic as possible.
Cot, I deal in furniture so getitng that for next to nothing and will be badass. Havent decided yet but probably somethign like this which I will pay £150, not £800

Baby clothes - yes, we are buying a lot new and have already received shit loads form friends ( before Penny has even had the baby shower) but her brother has had a baby girl and they have shit loads of clothes for us as she will be ayear older than ours.
Point is, in our family, we would rather spend the money elsewhere but appreciate some poeple like to go all out on their first. We arent and I dont see anything wrong with that.

Makes complete sense in my book.
Whilst it is nice to go out and spend a few £££ on new clothes we also got given loads of stuff from friends who had had babies before ours came along.
Thing is, because the sproggs grow so bloody quickly most of the clothes we were given hadn't even had a chance to be worn, or were only worn a couple of times.
We also passed ours on to friends who were expecting or just hatched once Lucy had grown out of them.

It's not funny, (unless this tickles your thingy)
It's why, magnets like me, and theres plenty of them, don't post. It's because it's settles on 8 to 9 posters a day. You've made it unfun. Go you.

You don't post because you get banned because you just don't know when to step away, even when warned.
And then you come back, try and turn it into some victim mentality, have another dig at the site and its users, then wonder why we "turn" so quickly. It's called a response thing. Perhaps if you weren't so inflammatory, you would find us being a little less acerbic in your direction?
