Maternity grant- spending it
What did you spend the Sure start maternity grant on?
I'm more asking because I don't know what I'm allowed to spend it on 😅🤦
Like for example obviously all of it will go towards bubba but I'm moving as I've split from her dad and so need to get a few things like a toy storage box etc. so can I use that money for the box? But then I've also seen some wooden letters for toy boxes, can I use the grant money for that or should I not because it's not a necessity?
Picture for the name for the toy box so you know what I'm on about.
Once the money is in your account, you spend it on whatever you want. £100 of mine went towards rent, then I bought him a second hand space saver cot (for £20!) and then some toys and a cheap toy box with. Then I put the rest (around £250/£275) in a children’s ISA x
