Garden rooms/shed. Suggestions

[Smiffy]

We had a second hand pram too. Most people get ripped on these and pay stupid money. I gave it away the other week on Facebook. I've been trying to give away our baby car seat but no takers as yet think people are more careful with seats. Its a handy one as can be done with seatbelt only and we also have the isofix base. Any takers here?

We have 2 i'd like to have another but its not really my choice seeing as she does what feels like 90% of the parenting . All these people wanting garden rooms to get away from the family

Yeah I wouldn't buy a car seat of marketplace but would happily have one of friends that I know haven't had it in a car crash.
Some of the car seats and push chairs are unbelievable money and people seem to blinded when looking at them. Just go for the most expensive one. D

It’s really funny - with our first born my Mrs wanted everything new. Once the second came along that had gone straight out of the window, and both kids slept in/wore/were strapped to/pushed around in anything we could beg, borrow or steal out of skips

we've got two or three car seats and an ISO fix base, that they've both out grown now - Josh has 'all the kit' so not in need ... could do with getting shot - taking up space

Yeh they used to be a big bill for us but nowadays they've bought in this 30hrs free childcare its about 500 quid a kid. The 30 hrs is not as good as it sounds its not as simple as 60% off a 50hr nursery bill. Its only in term time and they charge for sundries but on the whole its a lot better than nowt. Got to be grateful for that socialism . You can also pay it out of gross earnings before tax either via salary sacrifice or paying money into the .gov scheme and they boost it by 20%. We can even pay our before and after school club bill with this scheme. @doobin are you taking notes ?

that's after the free hours but like you say there are a lot of extras and only term time, she's got a good job and is good at it, already has sacrificed 2 years of career development so glad she's doing well in her job. older girl start school tomorrow so that's a 50% reduction but breakfast club and after school club hits as well. we've no family support, ive not had one night away from girls since they were born 5 years ago and only few nights out at great expense in babysitters who are the girls from nursery.

We only have the one and that's bad enough. School holidays are basically tag team she works im on childcare and vice versa. Tis what it is and they're not young forever so wouldn't just want to stick daughter in holiday clubs all the time.
Mind you slight sigh of relief when it's back to school time and normality returns
