Kazbah - I hope so. I just remember all my chef gear taking forever to dry... stinky aprons! pewww.
I reckon since they're playing carols in the supermarkets in October, you're pretty safe to put xmas gear on Pip whenever you please! Go nuts! Take pictures, tho!
Arimeh - you can get packs of microfibre cloths from cheapo shops like Crazy Clarks (do they still have them up there?) for a couple of bucks. Same stuff!

WOHB: pocket change, but it's getting too small and his coin slot's showing! Time to swap/sell/store for future baby?? Dont tell DP I said that!
