Cloth Nappies #142

Did they give you an extra 20 or 50cm to cover the fault? If they hadn't, then I'd complain, but if they gave you an extra length ....

OOohhhh Maz, where? who? *heads off to look*

Nope no extra... it comes in 10 metre precut tube, they prob dint even know it was there..

meh, they should have, the manufacturer generally puts tags in the selvedge at faults.(from most material we bought for our business, across several manufacturers)
Good luck with getting your voice heard ;)

I'm so lazzzzzy and I'm actually amazed my nappies are dry (albeit cold) so just bringing in the airer to in front of the fire. Am wondering if DH will get upset if I dedicate a drawer of our new dresser to nappies?

lol kaz! 1 drawer!!! i could take up the whole dresser! hehe...

Ness complain hun! (but i have already told you that lol)

WOHb - CT + BBH wool cover

Ness - give them an email babe....Ive seent his a few times in the fleece and i think its quiet common to be honest. See what they'll do for ya ;)

Here's a link to Celsie's thread in MPM...

She even went to the extent of getting the bags and putting cloth nappies in them for me, plus clothing ect. How could I not buy a bag then after putting so much in for me.
I cant wait to get it now :) Thanks Celsie honey your a gem!

Wow, thats the worst I have seen it Ness, But maz is right its a pretty common fault with BF, Shot them an email for sure. They are generally pretty nice about it all.

i am thinking of trying the soapnuts - weewuns have a sample pack but postage is twice the price of the sample!

Any brissy girls know where i can walk in and buy them?

Went to the accountants yesterday and should be getting near $2,000 back! First thing I told DH is "Whoo hoo - here comes fluffy mail!" To which he rolled his eyes!

Still waiting for my latest fluffy mails to arrive so I can plan the next purchase... watch this space!

Ness - you can't use it can you? So just ask for what you paid for honey!

WOHB - Err... I think it's a BBB + PUL (last thing we had in the drawer) I've folded the fresh stuff now so could be anything next! No, wait - it's my fav Blueberry!! I forgot about the poo-ey one earlier (which was in the BBB) - der, baby brain!

LOL Nettie - $5000 here, dont think DF would appreciate that going on nappies though!

Our tax money was in a while ago... it is in another account but we have access to it and keep taking small bits here & there...well i bought some more nappies with some of it :D

Waaaaaaaaaaaah, I'm sick!! I feel sooooo cr@p, and poor little Punky is getting sick too...! :(

..something something about nappies... *sniffle*

I finished my knitted bib - it even has BUTTON HOLES!! I am super duper proud, now to move on to my next 'beginner' project lol, at this rate, I'll be ready for a soaker in, oh, I don't know, 18 months or so?! :lol:

LOL QM... i wish i could Knit.... i can crochet... does that count???

Bibs a start QM, good work!
Alex has a cold too, he's a none to happy bub at the moment.
I'm sure fluffy mail that im expecting next week will cheer him up though :rofl:

NO fair CM :( i want some fluffy mail.... * i need to learn to be MORE patient..(says this while stamping feet)

K you should get fluffy mail tomorrow, Your in the same state as me LOL.
Also YES crochet counts! I had a beautiful pair of crochet shorties for Isla. There are patterns on NC.

Hey K babe...got baby blue minkee here so guess what im doing tonight ;)

Happy Birthday Caleb!

How are you feeling now Christy?

Pink - did you give the CC worker / team leader a demonstration of how to put a MCN on your bub? The people i've shown at CC understand it quickly when they see it, but give me blank looks when i've tried to just explain with words. I've worked out it's more important that the team leader of the room sees the demo, cos the workers come n go, team leader is more likely to stay.

Queen M - WTG on crotchetting a bib - that's a new one on me, yeh you!

What is this about a Sept 6th meetup, i thought it was Sept 13th?

WOTBB:

Maz - i looked at the Sugar Boogers nappy bags, tis not ONE bag there in cowprint, so which one did you get?

Did you see the new COWPRINT wetbags Greenkids have just brought out?

oh and Maz, i just did a purple dye lot two days ago, and put the items in a solution of half vinegar and half water for a day - just washed them again to test if the dye is fast - and it isn't ! what did i do wrong? i was hoping to avoid the "separate washing" for X times before dye stops running. I tried to remember all your vinegar tips! i bet i missed sometihign crucial you said.

i got a gorgeous violet/purple colour that i'm really happy with, it was the purple white DYLON bottle you get at supermarkets, but i was SO looking forward to the vinegar trick working! Was i meant to DRY the items first? Cos i took them out of th ewashing machine WET and put them straight into the vinegar/water solution.

FJ - want to find out what this Lily thing is that everyone is mentioning. off to see whot's on your blog and wahmnaps store (even though i miss half the text on the wahmnaps site - have no idea why that is blocked to me).

Pink - so the shorties are waterproof now? that's great! what did you do differently?

WOTBB: whizz kidz fitted with rainbow bumjumper

Thanks for the birthday wishes :D We just got back from LaPorchetta for tea where the little bloke can indulge in all his fav foods pizza, pasta and chips. (We all order what we want and let him graze off our plate). Mmmmm!

Ness the bamboo I've co-opped both times has had holes like that.
It's not that hard to cut boosters around those holes or use that little section to check the tension on your overlocker before you begin sewing as the bamboo is quite dense and you will need to adjust if if you are moving between different fabrics. I always do a test strip before I sew anything. I felt it was better to junk that bit than use a perfect piece of bamboo IYKWIM.

PP there are miracle balls that some use with the nappies to be detergent free too.

I need a lesson in LSing. After my first attempt I had to wipe down the walls and floor and poo was everywhere :doh: I didn't get it on myself except for my pants thank goodness :redface:
