Ali - the car seat is a Compaq (safe & sound) - I stripped off all the covers and seat padding and machine washed that, and sponged the leg straps (which were the ones pooed on) with diluted disinfectant. The shoulder straps weren't affected, which is a shame because they would have been much easier to clean LOL. I'll try the bicarb though - that might help. Normally bicarb and vanilla essential oil is my failsafe trick for absorbing smells but I'm a bit reluctant to use anything too harsh on seatbelt material - it might compromise the integrity of the belt.
Maz - nice one on the hat! I love the yarn collective's wool - mmmm, makes me want to learn to knit, and to be in a climate where wearing wool is an option would help. At least I get to put wool on Euan's bum.
Jodi - I have bumGs if you want to check one out.
QM - I read somewhere that if you are going out for the day, to take one for every hour you're gone, which is obviously a lot more than what you would need, but would cover things like the baby peeing all over the nappy you are just about to put on them (Euan did that three times yesterday - it took us nearly 1/2 hour to change an nappy), pooing five minutes after a change, pooing again five minutes after the next change, etc, etc. I usually take one nappy for every two hours I'll be out for and then throw in a couple of extras just in case.
WOHB: Cute Tooshies with bamboo Motherease booster, microfleece liner, sh*tloads of sudocream because he was all of a sudden red raw when I changed him, dunno where that came from, and a grandma's wool soaker in teal. Nighty night...
Oh Tried the IB on Mj today, hmm they are very trim.. so glad i got meds in my next order the same isn't a very good fit on MJ. she is just in between one snap IYKWIM
I hope you all have fun again on Monday!!!
well its been a very quiet weekend at my house. The older girls are at their dads. I dropped them off on Friday night and will pick them up tomorrow night.
So nice to have a break but now i really miss them!!
On the plus side my sis and I went out to dinner last night, She treated me to the works. Had Chinese.. Prawn ****tails followed by steamed Dim Sims.. and chicken and sweetcorn soup. for the main I had steaming garlic combination seafood and then fried icecream...
I really think Em's NR is improving. I thought about taking photos of it to show how bad it was but considering it's on the front I thought better not. she is more pink than red now. hopefully I can get rid of it by Monday! I dont want it to flare up again.
I need a pattern for either a cover or a OSFA nappy. I want to use the Dorothy material I have left over but I dont know whether to do cover or nappy. If I do Nappy I need to make it a night nappy as that is the only time Sarah really needs one. we only put them on in the car incase, and she will wee enough for a night nappy during her naps. but she is usually at CC for them. Any suggestions? and I need other fabrics for it too. Hmm this is a real teaser for poor Sarah!
WOTBs: Sposies, I am behind on the washing waiting for some space on my clothes horses as it has not been the greatest drying weather here.
