havnt read peoples replys but i can say that we would have spent alot if we had bought everything, a friend gave us a lovely cot, i scoured charity shops and second hand furniture places till i found the perfect chest of draws i was looking for that had a fold out top which was a change table too, a friend of ours made me a lovely book case, shaped like a dolls house, which i love. and i found a nice chair that with a throw and a few cushions worked for a few years. and the pram that the in laws bought had a bassinet attachment that we used at night for a few weeks BUT......after looking at our lovely nursery for months waiting for baby, the reality of actually HAVING a baby was that none of it really got used, baby slept in with us so the cot never really got used. the change table a bit in the beginning but the fold out top bit comes off and its now a lovely chest of drawers. the book shelf is GREAT and FULL. but i wouldnt go out and spend a fortune on getting everything off the LIST. all they need is love, nappies and a few clothes. the rest is just fluff really, get what you can afford but dont run around fitting ut a whole room just cause its nice to look at!
