Cloth Nappies #147

[suse]

Hey those B4Bers out there - what's the go with bloody annoying people using bidding bots on EVERYTHING. I don't usually bother bidding but saw a couple of things that I want and thought I'd bid on them. People have obviously got automated bots running because everytime I bid, they up the bid at EXACTLY the same time I bid. This has happened on about five items. Is that even allowed (obviously it must be because people seem to do it all the time)?

It makes it impossible to win an auction. Grrrr.

Oh, whinge over: WOHB: BerryPlush

[*Efjay*]

what are you biddin gon Suse?

eta - it could be that they have their max bid set higher then what your bidding. So say its sitting on $15 & you bid $17 but their max bid is $20, you will automatically be outbid.

[suse]

Ohhhh, that might be it. Shows what I know... Hmmm. So how do I set a bid limit?

I'm bidding on a blueberry, a beetlebums and a d'lish BTW.

[*Efjay*]

when you bid, just enter the max amount your willing to pay for it & hope its higher then who ever else has bid. It will automatically only allocate enough of your max bid to put you in the lead. But once someone bids more then your max, you will be outbid.

[suse]

Ahhh, gotcha. That makes sense now. Ta FJ.

i have a few fleece, wool and pul now - none with gussetts but elastic legs - so at least it contains the poo... just a bugger to have to wash them when there is a poo explosion with a pad fold

Nelle - i tried the back fold over and it does allow me to fan the front out to wrap around yay! going to play around with the bikini twist fold (thanks ness)... does anyone use this one?

Well DH came into the bathroom and said.. you know the best nappy you have is the IB dlish! ... here i am buying all OSFM BG's, hautes and Babycheeks pockets and he has decided he likes the IB!
I only have 5 and they are large the other 40 nappies i own are OSFM (to accomodate both bubs). So might look to pass a few of those off to buy some more IB....

WOAB - Togs... at swimmin lessons
WOEB - Bamboo prefold and fleece cover

We aren't in cloth yet we are over the meconium poos.. but we have lurvly BF poos....

WOJB ~ sposie

[*Efjay*]

If you wait till you are over BF poo's he will be like 6 or 7 months before he is in cloth LOL

[PinkPalace]

lol fj!

ok cloth is not our friend with ethan !
figured out the prefolds but now getting compression leaks as i have wool/fleece covers and obviously he doesnt move!!
Which means unless i only want to go 1 hr before nappy changes then i have to use sposies as he is still to little for my aio's !!! arrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

*sob* for me!

I much prefer b/f poo than formula poo. Yuck. Newborn b/f poo is so easy to clean up too.

pp - The best thing that worked with Emily in the early days were bbh fitted. Until she started getting big enough, than we could use the magicalls and ib's on her.
Wise man your dh is I lurve ib's! Can't wait to get some more. I can't believe Emily has outgrown mediums already I think I have a chubba bubba there.

Thanks to my swapsee person Love it. Question though, what size is it? Is it a large? I've never used a pocket mcn before, so interested to know how it goes.

I counted the stash I have for Emily today. With the mcn I currently have, and the bamboo fitted of Nina's I'm saving for her, I'll have about 60 nappies for her. They're mostly mediums, some large, and a few fitted. Do you reckon that's enough? I'm thinking it is.

[Arimeh]

Jodi - yeah I think its enough.... I have to do a stash count - but I'm kind of scared!! lol

PP - Do you want me to bring newborn PUL covers tomorrow? If you are coming at all? Cos thats what I used over our prefolds and DD is too big for them now....

[PinkPalace]

jodi - i hafve about 2 dozen bbb fitteds but they look sooo big! havent tried them yet

mel - i dont think we r going to be making it otherwise would love to try them!
i wonder if christy is going? maybe she could pick them up for me, and i could post them back??

[Arimeh]

I'm not sure if christy is coming - even though i have told her to!! lol

But thats a great idea

[PinkPalace]

i will tell dh (when he wakes up...... :P) about tomorrow!
see if i can convince him again!!!
will keep you posted....

[*Efjay*]

Yeah I was going to say PUL covers PP. Its good to know that about compression leaks with NB's. makes sence.

[Arimeh]

yeah I got compression leaks with DD too - just stopped getting them about a week ago?

Her longies were used as pants - over the PUL

[PinkPalace]

but no leaks with PUL?

[Arimeh]

nope never.
