Gigi - so sorry to hear about DH's car. Bloody little hooligans. Why can't they be hooligans without destroying people's property? Grrr.

Sam - the paw paw salve you want isn't the one in the red tube (that's the Lucas brand, it has a petrochemical base). The one you want is in a yellow tub or tube, it's the Simmons brand. It's a non-petrochemical base! Bit harder to find, but it's available in some health food shops. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll pick some up for you (that's if my health food shop has any in stock, they're a bit hopeless with remembering to keep things that I like in stock grrr)

Kat - your little Jack is so cute in his white dot minky. Just seeing how little he is compared to the change-table (unless you have a SUPER huge change table lol) really makes me realise just how much E has grown in 11 months!

Maz - at Vy. I can just picture it. All you lot with your TTing bubbies, we'll have to call this the Undies General Discussion soon the way it's going

Sorry, haven't gone back more than one page, so anyone I've ignored, sorry...

I ordered my GreenKids yesterday, a red Anytimes and a zebra Minkytimes. Whoo Hoo. Sasha is just super lovely to deal with - she's awesome! And I've got a few other fluffies in the workings, so I'll have some really good fluffy mail on the way.

We've had a bit of success with changing lately. It's much easier when DP is around, because then one can distract/calm/restrain whilst the other changes. When it's a wet nappy, I change him standing up. Some of his AIOs can go on standing up. Others, I lay him down just at the very end and give him his music box to play with which keeps him amused. If it's a poo, I lay him down and give him his music box, which distracts him just long enough to let me clean his bum in peace, then I let him run around for a minute once he's clean before crash tackling him again to do the nappy. If all else fails, I have to do the pinning him down and torturing him routine, but today I haven't had to resort to that yet. So we seem to have reached an uneasy truce, it could all change again in a minute, but so far, it's not toooo hideous.
