[MrsC_Aussie]

phew you girls can talk!! took me ages to read those 8 pages! what I get for not coming online all long weekend hehe!
thanks for letting us know about the moogoo msm cream...will have to order some...how long does it last..do you reckon I should just get one to start with? or should I buy two to save postage down the track lol!!

got the overlocker out yesterday, a friend gave it to me 2nd hand about 2 years ago and I hadnt got around to using it yet, so I edged a bunny rug yesterday yay works good! now I can get cracking on making my prefolds lol! considering bub could be only 5+ weeks away (hopefully not tooo early hehe) I better make sure theres some nappies for them haha!

Just a ? about wetbags -

If your out and about, and you get a stinker nappy, do you have an individual wetbag for it or just chuck it in with the rest of the dirty nappies?

I brought one a few months ago - and its nearly at the end now - and thats using it on both kids - every nappy change.

HTH

i still haven't bought any moo goo..geez i am slack....
& i still haven't put said nappies on to wash yet or gotten out of my jim jams....

[christy]

Kat - by the time I pick up some moo goo... I won't have kids in nappies anymore

[1MOREPLZ]

LOL yeah by the time i get round to it Jack will be toilet trained...hehehehe

nappies are on to wash...
now who mentioned some good swimming nappies???

[NaNa]

Oops! I didn't put the greywater hose back on properly in my chaotic brain-fog this morning, and I flooded half the house. Lucky it wasn't a nappy prewash that drained all over the place, coz in this heat that would be pretty foul... and DS went for a bit of a paddle in the suds on the kitchen floor.

Waiting on fluffy mail from DDU, but no nappies except for a HH keyring one. DS just doesn't really NEED any more right now, but truthfully, they were out of the Berry Plush in the colours I wanted

WOHB: firestorm BP

[Freya]

Oh no NaNa! I dont envy you the clean up, is your house all carpet or flooring? We have tiles so I dont panic as much as I used to about water issues.

Hmmm fluffymail.......I have lots coming, could even have a red card in my letterbox right now but its pouring with rain so its going to be soggy card if anythings there

[alioops]

Nana - Oh NO!!!!! Hope it is not oo hard to clean up. DS is keeping cool though so that is good

Anna - I need to go and put some plastic over the hole on my letterbox again so it doesnt flood again

Christy - I think if you do try the moogoo, you should only get a tiny bit, or borrow some of someone else's. It has cows milk protein listed in the ingredients so they may react more to it.

No cards here YET!!! I hope I get one today!!!

ahhhh the joys of an outside laundry

is it bi-carb i use for a stinky wash???

[MrsC_Aussie]

thanks Arimeh! Have just ordered one tub and will see how we go with that thanks for replying so quick!

[teruteru]

comp's retarded, didnt let me post

kat- dont think bicarb is recommened for mcn? cant remember exactly thou :P

hate this stinky weather but at least i get my nappies dry super dooper quick. i really should start counting how many we go thru in a day so i know how many to pack

totally nappy unrelated: how can i not hate my stepdad so much? he doesnt think much of my bro nor i, and thats fine with us cos we give a rat's butt abt him. But who is he to tell DP? it seems he's trying real hard to come between DP & i and i dont like it. he thinks im a good-for-nothing, no brain, lazy FEMALE but loves my dp & ds to death. the female part gets to him big time, has no respect for the opposite gender, thinks anything mum or i have to say is rubbish and thinks he knows everything. jst so that u know, he has 4 kids but none of them talk to him & he 'supposedly' has given up on all of them even thou they r on his will wtf? honestly i really regret letting mum marrying him

eta- 2 days of fluffy mail in a row, im happy now forgot all abt the BG i was getting, so its was a good surprise

[alioops]

Kat - If you are needing a strip wash, 1 tiny drop of dishwashing detergent and rinse like there is no tomorrow, until there are no little suds left.

Rhoda - BB is due for a second server. I keep having to refresh, and sometimes it wont post, other times it double posts. This happens from time to time when we outgrow the old servers. Be patient, it will be fixed soon And just get on with what you need to do and ignore your SD.

[1MOREPLZ]

yeah i know about the washing up liquid BUT i thought FJ mentioned something about bi-carb for a smelly wash???
must do a search for that....

[teruteru]

my nappies r dry & stainless YAY! didnt realise how many i have now. if i get an embroidered custom & the starbunz then i "think" it would be enough nappies till he TT, just not sure whether if its enough for 2 or 3 in cloth though. even though i like the magicall as a night nappy, ive decided that when he outgrows them, i'll either trade them or sell them. this might sound like a stupid question but i need to know the answer...if a nappy has 2 snaps on the wing (ie magicall), should both snaps be done up? if only 1 can b done up, does that mean he's too big for that size? just wanted to know for future reference.

a boo hoo yet major woo hoo at the same time...............

Matisse now fits into her bbb's in the normal fold, not the newborn fold

kat - twinkle lily strip wash guide lines - place 1/4 to 1/2 cup into dispenser (instead of washing powder) then 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of vinegar in the rinse cycle.

for those who have the moogoo, i was finding it hard to find the time to use my moisturisers.... so a bit on the face, then a bit i her bum and you knwo my skin is looking FAB
