MoneySaving Mums

A question about : Ideas for 2 night stay in North West

Hello,

On here for a bit of advice, we are planning a two nights stay away in the next couple of weeks. We have a 16 month old, so looking to go somewhere that has some attractions for him. Doesn't have to be somewhere full of attractions but would like at least one we could visit. I.e sea life, zoo, beach, good swimming pool, etc

Looking no further than chester, would Leeds, lake district, we're only an hour away from blackpool so not interested in there.

A question about : Full time working & Cleaning etc

Not exactly money saving, but I'm just wondering how other people do there cleaning etc when they are a mum and working full time?

Its looking like I'm going to be going back to 5 full days a week plus 1.5 hrs travelling each side (currently do 4 days with 20mins travel), my lg is 12months and as I'm working so much I want to spend as much quality time with her as possible in the evenings and at weekends.

A question about : Where/how do you change nappies at night?

Hi,
sorry for a stpid question but I am really confused. According to hte plan ,the baby will be sleeping in our bedroom in a moses basket or a crib. I was wondering where do I change nappies at night if the changer is attached to the chest of drawers ,which will be in another room. Do i need to buy a separate changer and put it on the floor or bed each time I'll have to change or to take baby to another room several times at night?

A question about : Shopping for a newborn- help!

Dear moneysavers,

A question about : saving money with a mid disgnosis coeliac child no gluten/dairy/soya

as the title suggests.
son is not yet formally diagnosed so is unable to get anything on prescription.
would like tips and ideas on cheap but healthy gluten free meals.
I also have a dairy and soya free child too and I also cant have dairy.
so the meals need to be gluten, soya and dairy free (with the exception of a wee bit of goats products ( ie just a small sprinkle of goats cheese/ splash of goats milk.)

A question about : School Uniform

Hello, as the title says I am buying uniform for the first time this year as DD is moving to a pre-school that requires it. I can purchase polo shirts and/or sweatshirts with the school logo, but these aren't compulsory. Otherwise its just school colours (navy and white).

A question about : Ideas for storage in babies small shared room

Hi,
We are really struggling to sell our 2 bed house, and I'm expecting again in December, my lg is currently in a cotbed in our spare room, but I'm looking for ideas for storage etc so we could fit another cotbed/cot in the room for the 2nd baby plus a wardrobe and another chest of drawers, books etc. I've measured the room and it will just about fit another cotbed in, but I'm worried as to where we are going to put all the clothes, toys, books, nappies etc. Thanks :0)
