I have found some old-fashioned mesh bouncinettes in a variety of beautiful colours at Bubs n Grubs (online plus store in Brisbane) and they are only $35 each. So maybe bubs can be brought downstairs near me during the day when they're awake; what do you ladies reckon?
Those bouncinettes have a very limited life - from when they are old enough to bouce them and then they get too big and bounce them over, both of which are before they can crawl. We got one because we were constantly trying to bounce bubs to sleep on our knees and thus killing our knees (and then she'd fall asleep but we couldn't move her so we got stuck), the bouncer we could bounce with our feet while watching TV in sleep deprived zombie mode and then at least we could sneak off to the loo while she napped.

Get sheepskins for wriggletime on the floor. Put a cloth over the sheepskin to sop up dribbles.

Ikea baby baths are good - they are quite big, cost about $15 and you can keep using them. Ours is currently employed as a basket to take laundry to the line in, also a wading pool outside and inside you can fill them with blankets and make a cot for stuffed toys, or sail around the lounge floor in them as a boat. As a bath, we used it on the kitchen table - don't have to bend down to wash bubs, great while they are small and you are sore. Fill them with a bucket, get your partner to empty it for you or bail it out a bit first so it is lighter to move.
