I just bought him three outfits for 99p each, and am really proud that both me and DH arent snobby about baby clothes...

AIBU?

I would like to learn that skill ,crocheting with goat hair.

I like Ikea

Even the meatballs.

It's a great family day out as far as I am concerned.

Getorfmoiland, you made me laugh and possibly pee a bit.
thanks

i'll pat you on the back for not being a spendthrift

i'll take it back and flick you about the ear for being smug about it

actually i think you're a little odd, bleating on yesterday, thread after thread about your DH invading your forum and today you're united in your smugness about a few savings 'off ebay'.

'culiar

I also like Ikea (and the meatballs) and go regularly even when I have no need to buy anything.
I hate ebay though, does that even it out?

you do realise people who bang on about baby stuff being a waste of money and how they got all theirs out of skips are just as annoying as the ones who talk constantly about how they dress baby in couture and push them round in gold plated pram?

glovesoflove - how about if you got a gold plated pram in a skip?

Serendippy · 08/12/2010 08:52

YABU to be smug. Implies that you are a better parent.

Anyway, 99p each? You was done. Why do they need to be dressed at all?

"actually i think you're a little odd, bleating on yesterday, thread after thread about your DH invading your forum and today you're united in your smugness about a few savings 'off ebay'."

what so just because my DH was being irritating I should serve him up with divorce papers and never mention him on here again? i have been using mumsnet for aaages and he followed me so set up a grand total of two threads for his attention on monday, thats all. the second one was because i noticed he was only reading the particularly juicy threads.

and okay, maybe smug was the wrong choice of word, i didnt realise that saying "smug" rather than "proud" (which IMO means basically the same thing) would cause such a negative reaction
