Ah Maz I hear ya on the washing! I just washed all of the boys baby clothes and sheets, burp cloths et al. Took me forever and then had to fold it all and put it away. Ive chosen to ignore the pile of Dhs work clothes, sheets/blankets for our beds and normal everyday clothes until Im ready to face my washing machine again Only upside is Ive got a ridiculous tan from hanging out my washing!

I was only saying to Dh this morning, I REALLY need to get cracking on the baby washing so all I have to do is multi-wash my MCNs when they come and everything is done and dusted cause just my luck Id leave it til Feb, then it would pee down with rain for weeks straight and Id be behind and due! And whaddaya know, just mins after pulling in my final load it POURED and we lost power. So glad I got off my lazy butt and did it now!

Maz, does using no wash powder still clean pooey nappies ok? Why use bicarb? What disinfectant do you use?
