Bethany's Baby Babblings

Reet so I reckon I may have a slight obsession with nearly new sales. Although this time I managed to spend less than £25! I got... • a Tigger door bouncer because squidge loves  the one at my mum and dad's • a ladybird Trunki because it's dead cute and we'll get round to taking wiggles on a plane eventually • some 1.0 tog sleeping bags because it's still bloody hot! Considering the Trunki alone is worth £40 new then I reckon that I've done alreet to get the lot for £22! Banging.

Yesterday was our weekly big shop. Me and dale are recent Lidl converts. We are all about the middle aisles. We're there for the mystery, excitement and bargains. So obviously I was buzzing when they had a crap-tonne (sorry still on the crap-tonne hype ha) of baby books! Head, shoulders, knees and toes is monkey's favourite song so I actually squealed when I saw this. 😂 (I need to get out more clearly) (GET OUT MORE TO LIDL COS ITS THE TITS) We also bought all the boring food stuff as I needed to stock up of squidge's meals for the week. Meal prepping as the cool kids call it. I wouldn't know because I am very uncool (and happy about it, far less effort) Today I made; • avocado, tomato and yoghurt (to pop in my transportable squeezey pouches for meals out and about) • broccoli, courgette, onion and cheese mush (I had a pot myself and it wasn't half bad!) • courgette slices and circles (to roast for finger food) • I got bored so didn't do ow...

My blog title now has me singing bloody ABBA. Not that it's a bad thing. Love a bit of ABBA. YOOOOUUU CAN DAAAAANCE, YOOOUU CAN JIIIIIIIVE! Absolute banger. Enough of the babbling. As you may know, I am reet Yorkshire. One of the traits of being a proper Yorkshire lass is loving a bargain (aka being a tight arse with yer money ha) Sooooo you can imagine my excitement when i hit up the local mum2mum baby sale this weekend. The name "mum2mum" annoys me because it's not just mum's that are involved in raising a child - there's dad, friends, grandparents, aunties, uncles, etc. But that's probably not going to be a catchy business name so I get it. Sorry, another babble. I got all this for £7! 9 items for £7! That's less than 80p per item! The Minnie Mouse outfit (I bloody love Disney) brand new is £15! So I'm £8 up already. And I can't be arsed to find out how much the other stuff cost but let's say I've saved a crap-tonne. ...

Nearly new sales are the shit. I got some reet bargains! And its good karma and whatnot. It was totally worth queueing up half an hour early with my mum. We were like Monica in that episode of Friends where they go wedding dress shopping. Anyway here is what I got: Tommee Tippee Steamer Blender new- £70 Infantino Squeeze Station new - £32 Infantino 50 pouches new - £18 I paid... £35! Little Tikes Pink Trike new - £70 I paid... £25! Leap Frog Learn n Groove Activity Station new - £85 (a while back though) I paid... £10! So using my accountancy knowledge (something which I have 85% forgotten since being off work) I got £275 worth of gear for £70. Banging! So yeah, I thoroughly recommend nearly new sales. You can find out about them via Facebook and I go to Table Tots which is for ones in Yorkshire. Cos us Yorkshire folk love a good bargain. (I did a quick Google to find out the new prices, they may be found cheaper in shops or with further researc...
