Arimeh / Gudi - if the burn marks are from when you had her in a wool cover, was it a wool wrap with FOE (fold over elastic) on the legholes? SOme kids rash to FOE.

bilby gets awful burn marks near her bottom crack, when the acidic teething poos happen.

Pink - do you have leg gusset covers, do you have a Little Squirt? and how long does Ethan sleep for? at the same stage, cos we were changing bilbs every two hours, the bamboo prefold (six layers) were enough for us - i'm guessing Ethan sleeps alot longer than two hours? I was all prepared, with Malden Mills pockets, for nb sized sleep nappies, but bilbs just didn't sleep long enough to do them justice!! but we got good pootainment from them. no leg gussets but rolled fleece in the legs (i'm sure i didn't express that right - meh).

welcome to the newbies

squidgy - i tried the eenees, not for very long, they didn't rock my world.

OMG - we just heard a big thud outside, then dh's car alarm go off (he has to park his car in this street, no-where else to put it

some moron decided to take a steel bar to the back window of the hatchback, the glass is all crackling away, i've taken photos of the big gaping hole, we're waiting for the cops to come. $500 excess to insurance company OMG. i hate living here. My car is in the very short driveway, about 10cm from pavement, so i'm lucky they didn't take the steel bar to my back window also, maybe the BABY IN CAR sign put them off doing that. oh bugger. it's a real kick in the guts to dh, he doesn't have much, but that car is his "baby".

i have no idea how to secure his car overnight - there is nowhere safe to put it with this gaping big hole in the window. he's meant to drive to work in that tomorrow - so much glass to clean up. he is gutted. More reason to move outta this neighbourhood i say. if only.
