    Default Got some bargains today.

    Well had a new baby start last week - wasnt told baby was sicky after drinks and eating (suppose it can be normal im out of practice with babies lol) Anyway my carpet was getting ruined so popped of to ELC today and bought an activity mat -70cm x 70 cm . Should have been £12 reduced to £6 thought I could put lo one this as not crawling yet and can wash it or clean down easier than my carpet getting dirty.

    Other bargain ...I put my baby changing mat away as not needed as no babies. Came to find it and can't so been using one in changing bag. Anyway went to TK Max today and got a lovely one for £3.99. Usually when I want something I can never find one or they cost the earth so very pleased. Also got lots of baking items to keep us busy on Thursdays strike day

    Just thought Id share

    My latest bargins are large easel for £4 off local ebay and balance beams that I made for the children from an old pallet so didn't cost me anything.

    The children love the beams, just sanded them down (there are 3 altogether of differing heights), and used some wood paint I had got left over, they are a light purple colour, and I have found some silver to-day so I thought I would paint some feet on them.
