Im due to get my £500 maternity grant soon, theres not really anything big I need for baby as we already have the moses basket and pram etc. Im going to put some of it aside for a cot bed and mattress but not getting this straight away as baby will be in her moses basket for 6 months.

All I really need is the basic things such as nappies, wipes etc when she arrives. Im gonna put it into savings so I can use it on things for her when she's here, I might get the odd teddy or something now though haha.

I was thinking do you think it would be bad if I treated myself to about 50quid of it?! I havent bought myself anything since I found out my pregnancy, apart from some maternity clothes with my bday/xmas money. I have found the most gorgeous summer outfit that I would LOVE to get but do you think its bad to use some of the maternity grant on myself and not baby?!

Just getting opinions :) x
 
moses basket for 6 months!! how big is your moses basket riley was out of his at about 8 weeks lol! and go treat yourself hun! xx
 
yeah i doubt theyll stay in basket that long! but yeah go for it, most people treat themselves with it anyway its just that no-one admits to it lol!

you go spend honey! x
 
my sisters baby was in hers for about 6 months and she wasnt small
 
Of course!
We've shopped around all pregnancy and used ebay/2nd hand mag for alot of bits so we're using the £500 to put towards paint/carpets for our new house.
