Gigi, I'm still laughing at you 'Making An Effort'! I love it! It's soooooo true after having a baby, hey? Sorry you didn't get to share the results with us, and even sorrier that we can't meet you (yet ).

WOHB: flat

I got my first fluffy mail today and two on the one day!
Very special Thank You Maz for the fluffies and the extra goodies!! Very unexpected, so kind of you
DD has already commandeered some boobie wipes because they are so soft and her puppy needs them for a special nappy.
When she saw the liqourice allsort she said "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo that's a nice one!"
I think she was more excited than me!

My second fluffy mail was also unexpected from a friend of mine who knitted me a whole heap of longies, all different colours and sizes.

Such small nappies and clothing, forgotten how small bubbies are when they are just new!!

Thanks once again Maz
..Laura

Gigi, I will be short with you hun, 5'4". And if my darling sister would get off her butt and use the MCN she has, she would be the shortest one in here at 5'0"

We fly out on Sunday!!! Sorry girls, too much to do here I cant stop in Melbs on Saturday. You will all have to come up to Townsville then

Gigi (again) Please please please can we have a cuppa during the week this week? Dont have to but I would love to see you before I go. U can say no if u want. On Sunday we will be near you, the airport. I know it is heaps far away from you but further for me or Ness

Em has a chest infection AGAIN. she is on ABs AGAIN. must remember to make sure DH is using liners!!!

Gotta buy sposies this week all the MCN need to be packed into a box so that the girls can have clothes in their suitcase. Gotta ring jet star too and see if they supply sposies for on the flight or if they have to be hand luggage. ARGH I HATE MOVING!!! TOO BL00DY STRESSFUL!!!

[maz]

glad they got to you so quickly Laura..and your more then welcome

OH no Ali on having to pack them up the thought of it would kill me!

I got fluffy mail today but its not for me sadly but **** I wish it was...WTG to you know who

Gigi - I am so jealous that you got to do your hair...i have dread locks underneith atm...I look such a feral sight and tonight is parent teacher interviews...dame it!

Ive been looking around and I cant believe poeple are getting christmas nappys and clothing out in their stores ALREADY! Its totally insane!!

Im waiting until november until I do mine...good god there is just no rest for the wicked!!!!!

OI too...Ive started a thread about the baby expo in Melbourne next month....if your interested click on the link below

Kat - if you don't want to do heaps of pre washes, just change bubs butt more often I do that - especially with IB's...

I've had it with my magicalls - going to sell them - away I say!!!! Complete change at 2am - give me a fitted and cover ANYDAY... or even a IB - had one of those on her (medium cos smalls were in the wash) and it lasted about 5 hours between changes - no leaks... ahhh... good nappies

Grr.. someone is stirring - SLEEP GIRL...

Oh, and I'm about 5 foot 5.. and a half.. I NEVER forget that half.. it DOES make a difference.

maz - did you get my deposit?

Got a huge basket of nappies to put together. *sigh*

Who has the time. Two kids. both in cloth. Bottle feeding AND expressing. I can't find time to scratch my butt. (err.. not that its ITCHY or anything.... )

here here honey...I friggen well hear you. Today is the first day in god knows how long that both kids are asleep at the same time (vy doesnt normally sleep through the day) so Ive been running aorund trying to clean ect before they wake.

Kat - are you open to using prefolds just need to know

oh Mel..havent cheked the bank as yet..slacker i know will do soon

ETA - when in October is reuseable nappy week? anyone?

mel - no not in yet but it sometimes takes 2 days

[*Efjay*]

Ali, No the airline isn't going to supply sposies for you, you have to take them as extra stuff. But I m pretty sure you are allowed extra as carry on luggage when you have kids.

Maz, see what I mean about the overlocking on the boosters?

Im 178cm which I thought was 5' 8 but I googled it & some say 5 8 while some say 5 10? Im pretty sure its 5 8 though.

As for hair! you should see my regrowth! Black with redish blonde regrowth is soooo not a good look LOL. (ok ok, its more red then anything but I will be damd if I ever admit to being a redhead!)
I am actually going to looka t getting some foils through it as I can't keep up with the regrowth. Also dying my hair so dark means I need to colour my white eyebrows & lashes also to match & thats every few weeks & I just dont have time.
So I figure its time to get back to something a little more natural looking.

Isla is in sposies still. I think the blister is on the right side of getting better & could handle being in cloth but she has now moved on to teething poo, little rat was sitting on the toilet DID a poo & then I put her back in cloth for her o do another massive toothpaste/mustard acid poo in the cloth!
I had it off her in moments of her doing it & while her bum wasn't red, she was complaining about it hurting the moment I wiped. So playing it safe for another day or so.

But also, I think I may leave her in sposies at night. She has been sleeping so much better the last few nights in sposies. Plus its nice not to wake to that overwhelming stench that is her wee in the mornings. Even DH has said she smells like a mens public toilet in the mornings LOL.

But we'll see, chances are I will use cloth still at night.

FJ sophies poos are horrendous as well, teething too! i have seriously considered putting her insposies for a few weeks cos they are so bad! causing rash as well, using sposies overnight and lathering her in gaia lotion!

[*Efjay*]

bottom 2 yr old molars are the blame here.

[1MOREPLZ]

my nappies are all still in the sun...drying nicely...

Hi Everyone,

Was listening to the radio this morning and cloth nappies, covers and wipes got a fantastic review. The guy announcer said his sister uses cloth and then went one to tell everyone all the different types she has. Also said how much cheaper they were than sposies. I was impressed at how positive he can across as I think he has no children himself. They even talked about dry pailing and how this smells less than when soaked.
So keep up the good work so you can get all babies in cloth!!!

Are nappies any cheaper at the expo?

[Olive]

ohhhh what radio station??

[melbel]

Usually at the expo they have some great bargains Rivlas...sample packs, bulk specials, buy two get one free type things. Mostly only the bigger MCN makers go though because the site fees are into a couple of thousand dollars!!

OMG!! I just reveived 2 HUGE boxes of fabric from America that i had sent to get laminated months ago (thats how long it takes!!) and I am in nappy making heaven!! I think there is over 40 metres of all different kinds of stuff including some to die for tiedyed velvets and it has all laminated up soo perfectly...it is just awesome and lush....What am I going to do with it all?!!!! Maz?? wanna make some funky covers for me??!!!!

[Olive]

OMG mel i remember you sending that off!!!!! cant wait to check it out!!
so you have any slings i can check out saturday?

[melbel]

yeah i think i might be able to find some for you Jols!!

[Olive]

awesome!!! thanks chickie!
