When times are tough it's amazing how you survive. We've just had the toughest month ever and we scrapped through. I know how nice it is to have brand new items for bub but if you'd consider some second hand items i know of a shop that buys and sells everything for babies/children. Not sure where in the south east you are but if you'd like to pm me i'll let you know where the store is. She is quite particular about what she accepts and chances are you may find something you're happy with... prams, cots, sheet sets, clothing and blankets. I'm quite particular about what i buy and like the fact that we're recycling what is actually very good products and helping other familes get a few extra dollars that they may also need.

Good luck, it is a benefit that you know this far ahead and have time to prepare.
