God i'm glad I joined Mumsnett, so much I didn't know!!
re-usable wipes, didn't know thy were a thing!! Not using normal wipes on a newborn, didn't know that either.
Had a look at that water wipes website but Tesco don't sell them and i'm not making a special trip to boots. Those beige Huggies ones are on offer though

All the baby stuff I have at the moment is dark colours, but then my nan knitted a yellow cardigan and a blue and white striped one and now i think I might buy some pastel stuff myself. all the stuff i've bought so far is from 3month -12 months ish. I figured that once he's 3 months old that will co-incide with a dramatic drop in my finances so i'd spread out the spending now while I still have money spare. I've put a couple of hundered pounds aside as well so that I can use it to buy an "essentials" we may have forgotten without it crippling us.
think it was you daholster that mentioned posting pictures of what you'd bought. Can't wait. I love seeing what other people have bought. Especially for boys because I also find it seems a little limited sometimes. Will try and post some pictures too of what i've been buying ;)
im not a fan of slogan tops like "I love my Daddy's Moustache" and "totes cute" and that sort of thing. but there seems to be a lot of that.
RL What about just Tshirts or vests you don't wear anymore? Blankets, cushion covers, tea towels (them thin ones that are useless at drying anything). you could use plain material and Tie Dye yourself to make blanket squares. I added a pin to my pintrest recently for Tie Dye with Sharpies sharpies
ooops, long post, sorry : )
off to bed, i'll catch up with you all tomorrow ;)
