Anna - that's great you're getting all set up. I spent about $500 on nappies and covers to set up initially, but that was only for 2 in cloth.
As for how many I've got, I have about 50 bbh bamboo fitted (I used to have about 60), I have 30-40 magicalls (can't remember, they're in the wash) and about 6-8 itti bittis. I have about a dozen covers each for the girls. Even though Nina hasn't been in nappies for a few months now, I still have her covers. I don't think I'll part with some of them, Maz custom made them for Nina, with her name on them, and they're extra large.

I have finally caught up with my washing. I have been very slack lately with folding. But after visiting Suse yesterday, and watching her fold her nappies while we were there, I thought I'd better do the same when I got home. So thanks Suse for encouraging me Even though you didn't even realise you had encouraged me! lol

ali - I dunno, I guess you would need to strip wash after having them in napisan?? I just use the sun to get my stains out.

maz - Good luck today, and I hope Nickolaus has a fantastic day!! Can't wait to see some pics. I was going to ring you today for something, but figured I'd wait till Monday. Did you get that parcel? I got an email to say that it had arrived to you.
