A HUSBAND and wife team have put their parenting skills to good use by setting up a special website.
Peter Osborne, 37, was delighted when his wife Michelle, 35, gave birth to a beautiful bouncing baby girl in May.
Despite doting on Megan, the pair from Windsor Drive, Ashford, soon realised how expensive a child could be. As employees at Hounslow Council they tried to make their wages stretch as far as possible and began to brainstorm ways they could cut costs.
"We realised there was a gap in the market for a website where parents could advertise unwanted baby goods or purchase these goods at a discounted price," said Peter.
www.mapatoysand wear.co.uk has had 3,000 hits from parents desperate to make savings since its launch late last month.
If you would like to advertise on the website or provide sponsorship call 01784 246728.
