Hey FJ, did you get snow this morning? I've got the fire on here today its freeeeeezing.

[*Efjay*]

No, no snow here but it was like 5 degree outside. Its still pretty cold now. we had a good storm though. All this rain is great for my water tank but not so good when BOTH boys wet the bed this morning! I have so much bloody washing to catch up on, in my 4.5 kg washing machine!

eta - Im about 750 mt above sea level &t he forecast says some snow above 1000 mt. So I could (if I had the car) go for a 10 minute drive up the road & maybe seen snow there but I doubt it. I think its too wet for snow. Its not the right feel IFYKWIM

[Kazbah]

Has anyone seen (or tried) CGR design on ozebaby? Gorgeous minkee AI2s, wondering if anyone has any feedback ...

[*Efjay*]

I have a CGR nappy, havent given it a real work out though but it looks good & worked well on ISla the little bit I used it. I got it in a swap though & its for the man. So its been put away for now

No, no snow here but it was like 5 degree outside.

Just a quickie to say That's bloody cold!!
(And I thought it's been cold the last couple of nights because it got down to about 20 lol.

To all those with nappy blowouts, wet beds, spraying poo, massive bills and otherwise had crappy days -

To those who have successfully sewed, fixed washing machines, found soakers and had good days - YAY!

I am contemplating getting a couple of Greenkids. Not because I need 'em, but just so I know what I missed out on by getting heaps of BumGs instead. Also the Zebra Stripe Minkytimes is tres adorable. And I do need more nappies that go with black Bonds tee-shirts (well, that's a lie, black Bonds tees go with all nappies!!). And it's been a while since I've had new fluffy mail.

Mummy Tummy - i'm pretty sure that itti bitti aio's use SUEDECLOTH for the inner layer. Some baby's skin reacts to synthetic fabrics that are used for inners of MCN, e.g suedecloth or microfleece. I have a DD who reacts to both.

Do you have ANY nappies that don't have a suedecloth inner to test out that theory?

Saram - i just wet a facewasher with water to clean at nappy time. THe loopy side "grabs" the poo really well.

Christy - i'm so glad the airline helped you out.

Suse - loved hearing about your crocodile roll solution. We have a shoebox of "distractions" on the nappy bookshelf. nodding at you alot!!!

KATONES - sprayable poo hey? do you have covers with leg gussets? i LURVED those for containing those explosive, runny messes.

Nelle - how is your carpet hon? (pins Gold Medal on you for cleanign that up).

MAZ - glad you had a good time at the expo

SKITTLEBUB - sounds like you had fun too!

Yes, i thought my ironing days were over.
But DH has ironing board out regularly, has to iron "work shirt" each morning (no matter i say, why not iron the week's shirts at ONE time, he won't listen)
anyhoo, i digree
i have been collecting GAZILLIONS of washed, flushable liners
cos the poo ones gets flushed, and the wet ones go thru the nappy wash load
they end up all screwed up and i never get round to unscrewing/unravelling them, too hard, too timeconsuming
tonight i saw some, i was near teh ironing board, and suddenly thought - crinkled up paper - iron - hmmmm?
so i put said theory to the test
now have perfect flat flushable liners that i can re-use in bilby's MCN
so if you are still with me this far in
i've found a way to re-use the wet flushable liners, without the dreaded Crinkle Factor.
and i sure won't be doing it often, just once in a blue moon, do HEAPS at once.

OK, the rest of you can look back now
crisis averted, no more talk of the "I" word i promise!!!

ME: i had the most fantastic sewing day with Ness, who despite being the DAY before her house is about to be painted, shared her sewing knowledge, her machines and her snapping prowess with me, i am SO LUCKY!!!! I was like a pig in the proverbial, to be let loose on WORKING sewing machines!!!

Can't believe how much sewing we got done, it was magic. Inbetween cuddling the gorgy Miz MJ and admiring Miz T's very glittery artwork.

Last night, i swear, some small items i was trying to overlock around (on my broken machine), the machine would need to be rethreaded continously, like EVERY TEN CMS!!!! FFS!!!! much swearing was going down i can tell you.

ALI - glad you found The Missing Soaker. But the Washing Machine Saga continues!!! grrrr to that! Is your dh been deployed already?

ARIMEH - She Wot Once Wuz Gudi
what is the rise like on the wild child for her? FJ can tell you about the different sizes of that brand, i think one is longer in the rise than the other.

once you do up a nappy, if you stand your child up, and RECHECK for tummy gape, red0 if it NOW looks a bit loose, that can stop some leak issues.
Cos it's not just LEG GAPE that is importatn, it's also TUMMY GAPE - ESP with the night nappy.

Does the cover you have over the WIld Child adequately cover 100% of the nappy, especially the rise?

FALGUNI - where for art thou?

RAVEN - well we know where you'll be! recovering after a hectic Baby Expo!!

mwah!

WOTBB: kester covers aio
