Talking to DH about my clothing budget... He said "tell the ladies that you don't like to be constrained by numbers, and just buy what you need, look at how much that costs and so you budget backwards." Listen DH, no one likes a smart arse! Think my budget is £100 per month for clothes, and beauty etc is on top of that. My hair costs £140 every 2 or 3 months, plus the cabs to get there (am cringing as I type)... We spend lots on Wonder Nanny, though, so that's where the cashola flows to here.
everything - have been thinking about you a lot. I hope you are happy w your decision - imagine you would be as you have done your best and waited to be sure. I would have done the same in your situation.
Carciofi - sorry DVF cardi is no good!! Hope you find The One soon.
Tracey - watching Enid Blyton film w Helena Bonham Carter - monster woman, but quite liking the 30s and 40s style, and thinking a Brora cardi would be a nice nod. Hope the sale comes soon.
Am still pondering the Blochs, as I want to be sure they are for me (French Sole ballerinas were out too fast for the £££ and can't afford another such mistake due to limited ££ for clothes/shoes) and am thinking would get more wear out of pale silver. Must make up mind - this isn't a Major Purchase so just choose!
Thanks again for all the feeding advice - you are all worth your weight in gold and can't tell you how much your kind and wise words have helped. As foreshadowed, have decided to move to exclusively formula feeding. Just in time for growth spurt - constant feeding yesterday from 2-6pm, then again this morning from 8am till 5 mins ago. Oops, spoke too soon...
