    That's an awesome price Maz! Just make sure it is real minkee and not a cheap knock off before you go forking out for it though...I have seen quite a few cheap and nasty chinese imitation cropping up of late where they look and feel like minkee and even though the density looks okay when you make it up etc it doesnt hold wees in very well...... I know one of the bigger nappy companies got stung with stuff like this a while back.....just a heads up. one way to check it is that the bolt should have a label on the end and should say either benartex or avlyn or minky delight even if it is the real stuff...if it is a no name bolt it is probably the chinese stuff. And by law now it should at least have a Made in...... sticker somewhere so you could check that also......

    Maz, they sound loverly!! I am thinking about getting a sheepskin for this bubba's capsule and pram. Something that is better than the fleece cushiony thing that is in Em's pram. Hope the IB turns up soon hun! Have you checked the drain hose on your WM?

    Em has been back in cloth for a day, and her butt is healing nicely!!! The blistery spot is healing over and the bit that looked like a friction burn is gone! I love MCN.
