My first week off on maternity leave and all I do is bid on items on ebay!
Item one:
Rain cover for our travel system. £18.99 (including P&P)
Our baby's wheels are currently residing at my grandparents house as they said they have the room to store it, if not it would be in our car boot. We went during the week to have a go at putting the thing up and and down, and realised we didn't have a rain cover.
Item two:
Lonely Planet Great Britain. £2.89 (including P&P)
As we have itchy feet, and have spent more time travelling the world we have thought about seeing our own country. We would love our little Newt to see this country as well as the rest of the world!
Item three:
Bambio Mio two piece Nappy's! £20 (including P&P)
The ebay seller was selling these for £10 buy it now but you have to collect. She lives in Barnsley. We live in Birmingham so we was looking at at least £30 in petrol to collect them. So after a nice email and talking about couriers said that I'd send one to collect them she looked into posting them and said that she would post them to us. Next day delivery for £10 extra.
So if we get on with reusable nappy's then we have spent £20 on nappy's which our baby will use until he or she can use the loo!

Today is a day that I have been looking forward to for such a long time! My last day at work for a while!!
Maternity leave started today at 12 noon!
I'm looking forward to not setting my alarm on Monday evening to wake me up to go to work on Tuesday! I plan on doing as little as possible! Papa Newts works nights so he wont wake up on Tuesday until after noon so waking him up by getting ready will be rude!
So it looks like a lazy Tuesday Morning for me!
Heaven!
Today is the start of a new chapter in my life.
We really can't wait to meet our little Newt!

Everyone who has an email address and who loves a good 'deal' will be signed up to a special deal website right?
All the girls and some fella's I know are signed up to 'Groupon' 'My City Deals' ect I however am signed up to all of them, at the time of signing up it was the 'in' thing to do see what deals they have going around your city...
I read them for the first few weeks, then the emails started to bore me as I'd be looking at some great deals but it was near the end of the month and was skint! So I marked all the emails as spam like i do with all annoying emails that I get! (Why do I sign up to them?!?!)
So whilst looking though my spam file yesterday, I seen this Groupon email with goods on. Having a baby on the way I thought I'd see if there was any blenders or hand held blenders I could buy to blend our food when weaning our little newt.
Funny enough there was a blender and a cooks set which I will find helpful as me and guestimating (a word Newt says to guess measurements) don't mix.
So the blender should of been around £60 I brought it for £20! yay!!! go me! And the cooks set I brought for £12 apparently it should of been around £34. I still haven't told Newts that I've brought it. oops!!

Since I have owned an embroidery machine, I've always wanted to make some baby gifts and sell them.As soon as I made my first one as a gift, I had a few order's. These baby comforters have been a big seller, I thought I'd share a photo of one that I have done today.
With the little bit of money I made from selling these I am looking into buying more, and selling them on ebay. I'm also looking into setting up a small website sell these gifts.
Really hope I can sell some!
