    Ummm, I got mine from Baby Bunting I think. I've seen a few people on BB complain that they're hard to find though, so I'm more than happy to post some up to you so you can see if you like them Would love to repay the favour!

    I got to see Sal's baby today She's just beautiful!

    We should have a meetup to celebrate the new arrival. I know we mentioned the idea a few weeks before she arrived! I'll offer my place cos I need motivation to tidy up
    Can do any day

    Janie I know all about that! My bucket overfloweth. I can't keep up with it all ATM even when its sunny it's still too cold for stuff to dry outside.
    Just got back from a trip to bunnings where I got another clothes horse. Figure it's cheaper in the long run than using the dryer almost every day.

    Janie - Hope you feel better soon! Don't feel guilty about the spossies... whatever gets you through yeah?

    Gudism - What sort of fold are you using? It sounds like I am the only one that used TT from the start & DIDN'T have an issue with the bulk - mind you, Punky was born when it was HOT (although, it's not too cold where you are is it...??) & I didn't have to put too much over her big TT butt.

    Maz - Woot on the voucher! Good luck spending just the $50 lol.

    Gigi - Glad Bilby was feeling/acting better after her, uh, evacuation?! She must be so much more comfortable now.

    I've my fingers crossed that our IBs will come tomorrow!

    Dipping my toes in!!! I posted this in the AIO forum, but the girls suggested I ask in here...

    I've found some AIOs on ebay that look pretty good. WAHM, pretty good price, one size, AIO so exactly what I'm looking for. I just want to see if they sound okay before I buy them (they're in a lot of 6 or 12).

    * All in one pocket nappy
    * PUL waterproof outer
    * Snaps
    * Fleece lining that is made of 75% cotton and 25% polyester serves to wick the moisture away from baby's skin.
    * 50cm long hemp booster that can be folded in half to double the absorption.

    Heya girls...

    Well, we used our IBs for the first time today...hmmmm. They are pretty narrow in the crutch huh? Not overly impressed with their absorbency but that'll improve with more washes I guess.

    He 'christened' both of them the little stinker!! Can't WAIT for my LS to arrive!!!

    FJ - Lurrrrve those pinnis...especially the last one....my mum makes DD stuff like that all the time.

    Willow, i swapped some of my IB's early on b/c i thought they weren't very absorbent. Turned out they just needed a bit more washing. wish i never swapped!

    WTG little Vy! $50 for mumma!

    QM- There was no way i could use flannel flats on Lu either. She'd wee though terry flats in less than 2 hours, FF wouldn't last one wee. So we had big cloth butt at our place too! The nappy was bigger than her!

    Don't have meet up in the next two weeks! i'll be in QLD, and would love to see little Maddi. Ok, so don't hold it up for me! When is the big sew up Maz? I've forgotten..... is everyone still coming? I'm all excited.

    Ange - are you still wanting to meet up when you come up??

    Willow - I thought the same with my IB - now I think they are great

    QM - I did the pad fold - same one I did for DS. I think I just really suck at putting them on thats all.. not easy with skinny legs flailing around everywhere and screaming to boot!!! LOL My MIL told me to do the triangles like she used to and it should be fine..

    Janie - If you think you have to repay a favour to me, sure - I hope he's pooed in that BumG - just to make it worthwhile... lol

    Sarah - I'm the same as Mel, I can offer my opinion - but I'll probably be of no assistance whatsoever..

    Maz - woohoo.. way to go Vy!!!!!

    I had one of the BB Magicalls on DD just before - lasted pretty well, 3 hours I think? Then we changed her cos she did a big poo - think she is getting constipated.. grrr.... plus I think she is getting belly pains - she's already on Infants Friend, so I guess switching her formula is the next option.....

    WOAB: Stuffed Green Kids with longies (for warmth.. not for any other reason.. its cold in this house.. )
    WOMB: Sposie cos I didn't take another cloth nappy to my MIL house...
