Mum-of-22 Sue Radford celebrates HUGE family milestone that’ll save her hundreds after forking out for 16 years
PREGNANCY is not the easiest thing to experience, so spare a thought for mum-of-22 Sue Radford who has spent 16 and a half years carrying her kids.
And it seems the end of the baby stage could soon be in sight as Sue said her youngest child Heidie, who arrived in April 2020, is now nearly out of nappies.
Sue, from Morecambe, Lancashire, took to her Instagram to share the milestone, saying: “Oh my goodness Heidie has done her first wee on the potty.
“Sorry for tmi [too much information] but she’s so proud of herself.
“No more nappies during the day soon, that’s a big milestone.”
When Heidie arrived, shopping for Britain’s biggest family meant Sue’s list already included 100 nappies, 16 loaves of bread, 114 pints of milk, 48 large eggs, 3kg of pasta, 24 chicken breasts and 28 toilet rolls.
