NaNa - your Christmas sounds like FUN!! DP and I will be eating fillet steak and prawns, watching DVDs and playing Wii. How grown up... And watching Euan play with wrapping paper and ignoring the toys. I'm actually really looking forward to spending the day just the three of us. Yay.
Oooh, I'm gonna get me some fluffies - I had a couple of things on B4B that just sold, so whoo hoo, the Christmas Spirit is coming to Euan's butt!
Cat - I suppose it would work - comes with a microfibre insert - and it would be pretty easy to boost them (they have a great hole in them - not too small and it folds over itself) ummm.... might be a bit bulky on her though - I'm just thinking - cos they are fairly wide in the crotch area on DS - and even with the microfibre insert it looks bulky... but they are great sizings - the large and medium fit him. And side snapping if you like that (we don't particularly like that)
Oh and dunno bout your lamp q.. I suppose so?
Missy Mel - family suck.. just suck...

NaNa and Arimeh, i have cancelled xmas this year, so i'll join your club.
How old does a baby have to be to have the necessary jabs for Africa NaNa? i hope you get to see your inlaws soon.
TERUTERU - places to buy elastic for sewing MCN?
i'm a learner sewer of MCN, i'm sure the proper sewers will jump in and correct the bits i get skew whiff (i hope)
- spotlight sells 6 and 9mm braided and woven swimwear elastic
i can't remember now which one you need, the braided or the woven.
but the SWIMWEAR elastic is crucial, cos mcn's get washed alot!
- mcn supplies websites have both the swimwear elastic AND the FOE (fold over elastic) that you sew on the edges of PUL (leg holes, tummy). Many PUL covers are made like this. The swimwear elastic is sewn in (hidden). The FOE is exposed.
sites include:
- bubba earth
- tiny toosh
- nappies covered
- nappyworks
- fairy fabrics
- greenbeanz (in nz)
- baby delight
well, those are SOME of the MCN supplies sites.
Kitt3n - i dry our mcn inside, on the clothes horse, no sun at all. we don't have stains. i Little Squirt the nappies as soon as they are taken off, between that and the BabyCycle on the washing machine, no stains when they come out the machine.
(I don't have access to an outside drying place and i can't get to the window easily, cos of dh's one tonne recumbrant exercise bike in the way that he refuses to move ANYWHERE ELSE grrrrrrrr - so unusual circumstances - if you CAN get access to sun, all power to that, i just can't).
KATONES - the washable wool Ecobubs side snapping pockets
i've been told the insert opening for those is at the FRONT
i once emailed to ask how wide the crotch is, can't remember, but it was too wide for my child (who suits narrow crotch nappies).
i would give teh ecobub insert a miss, and buy a bamboo trifold instead, to put inside it. mazalicious sometimes has bamboo prefolds/trifolds, or booroi (in three sizes).
wotbb: at childcare, so swaddlebees PUL pocket with organic velour inner
bilby now has size 2 -3 knickers (big sizes from bestnless and coles)
where do you find SMALLER knickers? size 2-3 was the smallest they had. She's in size 1 dress today.
i got her:
dorothy the dinosaur knickers
wiggles "
purple "
i am going to practise putting knickers on her, for an hour a day, shut all the doors in our skinny long place, have her and i in the hallway (lino) to play in the hallway ONLY, so any accidents will be confined to the hallway.
am i meant to keep the knickers, as an inducement to TT?
or put them on her to TT in?
she will not let go of the TAGS that the knickers came with (pictures of Dorothy and Wiggles of course). SHe clutches them like trading cards.

good luck to all the people hosting xmas at their home, i admire your bravery.
xmas can be pretty stressful, good luck to all of us, to get thru the day. i got dh to print all these photos out, bought cardboard and ribbon, to make xmas cards - didn't get it done, been too absorbed researching rental ads and trying to work out how to leave dh.
i'm annoyed with myself, that i didnt' contact some charities earlier, to find out how you go about being a volunterr (to cook xmas lunch for homeless people). That would have been a good distraction (to get thru xmas day, remembering there are plenty of people doing it really tough).
Tomorrow bilby will be in her xmas pinnie i made her, with a tshirt, at a playground, with me and dh, wearing a lovely xmas bib that nessa gave her for her birthday, to eat her sandwiches and banana. oh, in a green pocket nappy, and then a red pocket nappy. to match the pinnie. see, i made it MCN related.
Queen - are you off the air cos you're moving? GL with it all, HUMUNGOUS job to move house.
And watching Euan play with wrapping paper and ignoring the toys. I'm actually really looking forward to spending the day just the three of us. Yay.
