I'm here The only nappy related thing I have to talk about is that I had to do a strip wash of ALL my nappies today. I washed them as per usualy this morning, and when I lifted the washing machine lid to get them out, they still stunk. So I strip washed them, and they smell and feel like brand new again ... well almost anyway.
Haven't bought any new nappies lately, but I did buy a new car today Doesn't quite count as fluffy mail does it?!
Nelle, DS is walking around everywhere tonight, I think today just gave him that spur he needed! Great to see you all today!
Jols, how's Sophie now?
Sal, hope you're enjoying that fluffy mail
Guys, Nelle is so great at a playcentre, she had me going down the big slides and everything! You should see her on a slide, she's so fast LOL, they beat us every time Poor DS wanted to win, just once! Eastern 'burbs girls, you need to come along next time! And Nelle's gorgeous mum picked me up, as the grrrr mechanics didn't have my car ready in time, so how nice was that?
WOHB: fleece night pocket stuffed to the max with bamboo!
To give a nappy as a gift, I would buy something like a D'lish or minkee magicall. They're super cute, and fantastic to use. Make sure you get an awesome colour too, how could anyone not convert after receiving that!
As for size of covers, Probably a small or medium. Newborn bub will grow out of too quickly, and it'll take forever to use the large.

i have been locked out of belly belly due to me and my computer forgetting my password (to bely belly), so this is the first opportunity i have to wish
VYOLETT HAPPY BIRTHDAY WHEN YOU"RE TWOOOOOOO!
Katones
hemp nappies need 6 - 8 pre-washes
bamboo i think needs 3
cotton and microfibre - 1
wash all the white terry stuff in one load by it's lonesome, esp if you got dark polar fleece in some of your nappies, the lint from the white terry goes EVERYWHERE!
so if you got white terry flats, terry materials nappies like tots bots fitteds, do yourself a favour and do those ones separate to the rest
if you don't have any lint dropping terry fabric nappies, then - no worries, will be a doddle.
RIVLAS - what about a Greenkids Minkytimes - a OSFA aplix closing pocket?
AJP - how is Sophie faring with foot n mouth disease? is it painful for her?
WOTBB: wot evah night nappy combo dh chose - i just keep the basket full - that time of night, Aust Idol is on, i am BUSY. It's Mummy's Time!
Childcare managed to put a minky pocket nappy on bilbs today SUCCESSFULLY that wasn't our usual (Swaddlebees). i tested them out and they passed! woot. (but it was still side snaps, so the familiar concept was still there).
Mum, when you say present, do you mean for a newborn? Like Auntie I's? I agree with Jodi's D'Lish or Magicall ideas. Also, I think something like a small Motherease Rikki cover - until she's committed to cloth - any leaks before that and she'll think 'ahh it's too hard and they don't work'. And I've never had a leak with a Motherease Rikki. Unless she doesn't want to use flats at all.
Gigi's idea of a GreenKids is good too. She probably won't be able to use that from birth though (she's tiny and has tiny babies Gigi).
By the way, had a giggle at you locking yourself out of BB Gigi! You're like an absent-minded professor or something. :P Too funny, glad you found your BB 'keys'.
Never mind about the slide Sez, you will just have to train hard for next time. Get one of those fancy aerodynamic suits designed maybe. And next time I will let you have the red slide - you know why.
Right, well I crashed on the couch again tonight while Rans was out, but I think I'm ready for bed again now.
78 Gigi! Wishing you a fantastic day, and fingers crossed you get a nice shiny rainbow walking stick all wrapped up from your dh and miracle baby. :P
Jodi, I was so knackered after the playcentre with Sez that I slept on the couch for a couple of hours while Rans was out at night. I didn't end up getting to sleep til after 4am! Needless to say, I've already had a coffee.
Funny non nappy related story, I got woken up by the sound of chatter and coughing and my dad marking the roll and telling dad jokes on the answering machine - he's a primary school teacher and must have knocked his mobile in his pocket! What a dork. It was nice to hear though, so cheery. I had to call the school office and get put through to his class phone to tell him, because he was tying up the home phone. At least it made the receptionist giggle.
