Probably not a very thrifty statement, but I am really looking forward to being able to wear my pre-pregnancy clothes as well as purchasing a few new things. I got a little bit of money for my birthday, so am looking to spend it wisely and purchase a few key pieces i can mix up with what I already have.
What I am looking for:
1. A tea-dress: something i can dress up or down over jeans or with tights for the epic school 'run' [walk]
2. A pair of leopard print ballet flats
3. a pair of slouchy boots
4. Coloured tights
5. A boyfriend cardigan
6. A slouchy jumper
7. A Trench coat
Of course, I will be looking to purchase these at either a knock down price or ebay/charity shop!
Some things I have my beaders on
Park Avenue Dress from the
White Stuff
Tea Dress from Fat Face
Have just entered a competition over at Beetle Shack to win one of these prints from Seventy Tree. I really like the 'smile' print. Why not enter too, a bit of healthy competition never hurt anyone!

Since we found out we are having twins, people have been really generous giving us bits and pieces for the babies. Even though we had kept some stuff from the first time round, it turns out the attic is possibly not the best place to store it and most of it came out yellowed and unusable. Today, my friend P came round and gave us a maxi cosi car seat and as a thank you, I made her this.
From this - Jamie's Britain. She said it was amazing! I always get really nervous when i make stuff for other people for fear or poisoning them or something!
Friday was my birthday! I was thoroughly spoilt.........

The twins will be here in 3 weeks or less- eek! I am kinda glad they didn't come on my birthday, like I thought they would!
Well, this is my first blog post. It's something I have wanted to do for ages but thought, with the start of maternity leave [I am having twins!], I would have some time to dedicate to it [wishful thinking, perhaps?]. I also thought it would be a good way of documenting the adventures as we adapt to our new larger family, including living on less for a year.
I have been having some problems creating my blog layout, but bear with me! I will get the hang of it, I hope.
