This is the funniest thing I have heard - I think - ever!

thats funny. hehehehe

HAHA thanks for giving me a good laugh! Men huh!

I didn't know about the $3000 until the midwife handed me the papers. I wanted a caesar but the doctors wouldn't go throught with it! Probably cos i was one of these young mums thinking i'd need this money! I never was money hungry.... (i've probably just posted that i got $4000....but i stand corrected i only got 3000. i made it up to 4. ) I was however with a guy who was....he needed drugs all the time and alcohol too....well didn't i tell him right where to go? He left when bub was 4 weeks old cos i wouldn't give him any of the bonus money....i bought a mobile phone for him....but i made him give that back as it was in my name, and i told him if he didn't i'd ring the cops and have him charged with theft!
I am in private health cover, i pay all my bills before they are due and i buy my daughter clothes and shoes every 2 weeks or so, just to make sure that she always has something lovely to wear! On top of that, i own my own house and I do not put tons of junk food in to my daughters mouth! If she does not like what i cook for dinner, I provide her with an alternative. I provide her with the leanest cuts of meat (preferably scotch fillet steak) and she gets lots of fruit and vegetables...
Oh and just so everyone knows i am not so much getting my back up! I am just really proud of what i have been able to achieve at such a young age of 19 after being down in the gutter! And i hope that everyone can respect me for this!

Im going to buy a new cot that turns into a bed when the babys born, and sum of the its and bits that ive forgotten to get( im sure ill forget somthing haha) and maybe even put sum away in a savings acount for when the babys older

My sister got $4000 i thought it had gone up and was told that it goes up every year till it reaches $7000.I only got $940 when i had my first daughter...wow.But we should be thankful for any help, my mother got $2.50 extra in her child endowment as she called it and a voucher for a few products.we are getting it good.

See now i disagree with you there. $4000 isn't too much. Esecially if you DONT have everything.
Ill show you:

Cot =  $500
Pram = $350
Rain cover = $30
Baby bag = $40
Change Table = $100
Baby Bath = $40
Nay Bucket = $30
Nappies (cloth or a months disposable) = $150
Car Seat = $350
Clothes (including singlets, tshirts, shorts, pants, jumpers, PJ's, swimmers, jackets, socks, booties, hats and more in 0000 to a 00) = $1000
High Chair = $250
Toys = $100
Chest of draws and wardrobe = $900
Decorations (paint, stickers, mobiles etc) for nursery = $300
Blankets, sheets, and cot things = $200

Still more but total is over the $4000 baby bonus...

Shall I continue??

wow what a list, im an excellent budgeter ,have to be with 4 kids and i could have got everything for what you quoted for a cot,if you shop for bargain buys,not junk but just reduced.At babyco at the moment if you spend $1000 you get a free baby rocker,$2000 some other bonus $3000 you get a free $299 baby glider ,that wonderful chaiir with foot rest that you can feed bub in or rest or what ever.

haha thanks your right but ill pass. I believe my baby deserves the best and when it comes to MOST baby stuff your get what you ay for. I still have the cot/bed I brought 3 years ago for my son and its in mint condition. The cot my sister brought however for $200 is horrible looking now and the latch broke.

haha got someones panties in a twist lol
POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR

i think this is a subject everyone dosent agree on.
did you really pay 250 for a high chair.

Yes an adjustable one so I could sit on the couch and feed or on the floor or wherever. It swings too if you make a few changes.

wow thats a great high chair. i have to get one for this bub coming.

they are called hi- lo chairs. I have one for my bub too! They are only that expensive if you get a really good one, and i believe in getting what you pay for, and for babies, i think that even though they are only tiny and don't understand the meaning of it and don't know how to appreciate, i think they deserve the best and to be comfortable! IT may not seem sensible financially, but in the long run, it is!

Thats the one! Hi Lo chair! Was most deffinately worth it as I paid that much but got to use it for both my boys. And then my friend borrowed it for a good 6 months and now my sister has it and it still works great and looks as good as new. I tell you what I wish i could fit in it cos its so padded and damn soft it look soooo comfy!

Whats a nay bucket?
Nappy Bucket*

a nappy bucket is for the non disposable nappies! You soak the cloth nappies in a special bucket full of nappy san for 2 hours then you tip out the nappy san solution and rinse them in the nappy bucket and put them in the washing machine to be washed!
