Cloth Nappies #162.

Arimeh - isn't the Sunny Coast like the most expensive place on Earth to rent right now??
Missy - I can tell you all about Melbourne... well, everything within a half-hour public transport trip from the CBD anyway. Do you need to rent storage for your stash? heheh... I have space available ;)

um, nappies, um.... nope, nuffing. DS did what would be called roll-off poos today, which used to be some cause for celebration around this place, but he did it in the potty! :doh: The LS is getting dusty. So sad.

morning ladies :D

well i am waiting on mail BUT it isn't really fluffy mail :(
stuff from Caddie

mail has just arrived maz!!!! thanks HEAPS!!!! i am FOREVER grateful :D
Jack is in the bumbo :D and the other thing ;) is BEAUTIFUL!!!! and the clothes will be well worn!!!!
hmmmm mel (arimeh) i think we should forget about the pandababy nappies....he can out pee it!!! and it hasn't been an hour..... bad nappy!!!!

WOJB ~ pandababy (saturated) motorbikes

lol @ Kat.. yeah my kids outpee them within an hour too - must only take one of their forceful pees or something.. think I'll leave them in my stash for the after bath - before bed nappy.

NaNa - I don't know if its one of the most expensive? I think its pretty comparitive to the rest of the country? Dunno - I dont rent.. LOL

I do know Hervey Bay is VERY cheap though - lets all move there and have cloth fetish parties...

WOTB's: Both in ittis.. him in dark blue.. her in purple

ETA: GRRR - I've been trying to log into Nappycino for AGES now - like months, and for some reason, they keep saying my password is incorrect, and then I go to email it - and they say my email doesn't exist!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... then I"ve emailed an administrator - no answer... dang it.. anyhoo, thats my nappy related biatch for the day!

KAt - your more then welcome honey :)

Ari - one of my BF's moved to HB last year and loves it! Jed wont move :( not even to Melbourne

whats the panda babies material layout?????? doesnt it have enough boosting in it or something?

WOMB - IB boo with safari 2 up cover

mmmmm Hervey Bay...
I wish I could work in other places than Melbourne or Sydney. I hate living in the suburbs.

KINKY!!! :ROFL:

yeah pb's used to saturate even on nb...... had to put in hemp baby booster for them to last more than one wee........

there is a medium lou lou motorbike print nappy on sale atm for $20...... enable yourselves!!!!!!!!

wohb - bbhemp/maz cover

pandababy definatly NOT enough absorbant material/boosting!!!!

WOJB ~ mottled purple Rump-a-rooz

Maz - can't remember what its made out of - but i'm guessing its nothing too absorbent! pretty nappies though - i have a scooby doo one for DS.

I had to change my name on nc - and thought I would say g'day too - since I'm on there all the time anyway - I'm just hidden in the background (oooh maybe thats why my membership was cancelled in my other name - they want everyone to show themselves.. haha)

kat - where did you get the rumparoo, and what do you think of it?????

rumparooz...got it from someone here on BB :) i LOVE it!!!! can't wait for a shipment to arrive here in oz....whenever that may be...

the pandababy nappies are
quilters cotton outer
hidden layer of bamboo/cotton
hidden layer of PUL
microfleece inner
booster ~ bamboo/cotton & microfleece

definatly not absorbant enough.... :(

Well Em still has one blister on her bits, so I decided to put second skin on it and a cloth nappy. if it doesn't heal up today, then I will probably use sposies overnight with tonnes of zinc until it goes. Blooming Dairy!!

*sigh* Well not much happening today. I am about to try and get them to go down for nap time, and then do some washing so we have clothing to wear.

I am not buying nappies for a little while. I have a holiday to save for!! Very much looking forward to August!!

hmm no wonder....its only really 2 layers of bamboo :(

i got me Fluffy mail from this new MPM store

woo hoo! loving it!

must start washing stuff. DH is home so he can help i think
i reckon i could get a couple of loads done and hung out, then just rewash again later.

will have to find the list Gigi put up about how many times to prewash everything!

before i start, has anyone had color run issues with Itti's or Cushies?

yep very noice looking nappies BUT not absorbant!!!!

BG - which store? ;)

Maz - ahhh.. that definitely explains it then... stupid me for not even LOOKING at what they were made out of. that'll teach me!

missy mel- try the west side, tends to be cheaper. roughly $1k for a house per mth is prob the minimum u'll find in melb. theres pretty much local shopping centres in every suburb so very convenient. not too sure abt the schools thou...

this is what ive decided to bring overseas:
nappywise- 10GKs, 6BGs, 3Hautes, 2BPs with probably a dozen extra inserts (bamboo & MF)
wetbags- 1BBH, 1HH & 1HH laundry bag
moogoo, earths choice laundry liquid (yet to buy), totsbots liners, microfleece liners, change mat, mattress protector, think thats abt it...
do u think thats enough nappies if i wash every other day?

we leave on a midnight flight so im thinkin that the nappies i use during the day im either:
* going to laundromat to use dryer
* give them to mum to wash (shes driving us to airport)
or * chuck them into our luggage & wash on our arrival...

not too sure which way i want to do it yet, guess i'll fuss abt it after tomoro...

hmmm, new fluffy mail MPM store... wonder who that might be! thanks babe - great service!!

i think i was just in the right place at the right time - got 2 babyhosen nappies, the dragon brocade and the japaese print!!! i have been wanting the brocade one for ages woot woot!!!!!!!!

anyone tried fascination creations funky fitteds????

:

hmm well its ok. I was living in my own world thinking Melbourne was as small as Hobart but I have been informed that it isn't haha So no need to be close to the city. I just need it to be somewhere with a supermarket complex like coles/kmart/pharmacy etc. And a good public school would help lol
:(

Anywhere within a half hour to the city will be reasonable expensive to rent, the rental market in Melbourne is crazy ATM.
For example, I live in Werribee, which is outer west at about 30 minute drive to the city. Average rent for a 3br house with a decent yard is about 230+ a week. My brother lives in Yarraville - inner west and trendy - their rent is close to double for a 2br 'half a house'.

As said earlier, most suburbs will have their own supermarkets etc, and reasonable reliebale bus routes to get you there if you dont drive.

Govt schools tend to be better in the more inner areas, though thats not to say the ones in outer areas are all bad.

I didn't know you lived in Werribee Ray - not that its of any importance - but I used to live in Melton

Missymoo, we've not long moved from Blackburn which is in the East, the house was crapola & was still $280pw, it's nice a bit further out that way too though, and probably cheaper to rent. AJP or Janie may be able to advise as to what's out that way... (or Nelle??)

Nappy news... erm, uh... I need to wash some?! ;)

I just returned home from lunch with the charming Lea. I am now the proud owner of a little squirt!

oooh, careful Christy - you'll have wolf whistles galore if you keep waggling like that!!



i washed my first load of nappies earlier - just in water - washed the BB and sherpas and they're all hanging on the airer in my dining room. would have done more but i ran out of pegs and didn't want to have the nappy part folded over the rails double cos i reckon they'll take too long to dry. looks like i has to go shopping tomorrow - pegs, washing powder for bubba clothes.... might even contemplate stuff for us after i spend more dollars on the Gremlin!

is anyone else stuck with drying things inside? is there any reason not to dry BBH/BBB/sherpa fitteds in the dryer for convenience (AND defluffing!)

meanies. spill!


BG - I dry mine mostly in the dryer. PUL is a little iffy in the dryer. I put mine on low heat overnight and my nappies are still in good nick.

WoHB - snoozywun

it's posted in BA's Kaz!

BG - All of my nappies go in the dryer on low for a few hours when they get washed in wet season.

BG honey - i put mine through the dryer when i have to many and they are fine....while your out shopping, get one of those round peg hanger things that have like 25 pegs on it....they are excellent for just hanging wipes and small boosters on without taking up to much needed space and they hang of the side of the clothes horse.

Christy....i could cry...its made me so clucky....and that was just you waggling your bum in here :ROFL:

What was I gonna say? totally gone out of my head :think:

BG - I dry mine on the clothes horse for two days and then if any are still a bit damp (which most are cos of the humidity) then they get chucked in the dryer for a bit.

OH - thats what I was going to say.

Does anyone know ANYONE who makes "holden" and "ford" nappies? DH has an idea and he wants "blokey" nappies :rolleyes:

Hello wonderful clothie ladies, have so much to catch up on. Have been desperately trying to reclaim my house from the encrouching flith and made a deal that I would bellybelly until I had been good :-) Add to that after all our rain we have been in and out of disposables as I was soooooo over the RAIN!!! OMGoodness.

Have a "worst nappy bucket of the year" story for you. Got home from Brissie recently and have been wondering where all my nappies had gone. Anyway today found a forgotten bucket on the floor burried under miscellaneous objects we brought in when cyclone was approaching and OMGoodness it was full of nappies. If you can imagine the smell of rotten eggs and times it by ten you would get what my entire house smelt like for the three washes it took to get rid of the smell.

Anyway we are back in cloth pretty much when Ari is not running around nude taking herself to the toilet (it seems if she is wearing any type of nappy/trainer/pants she will wet but if she is nude she takes her self off to the big toilet - whatever works right - makes going out a little hard but we are working SLOWLY on it.

Off to catch up on the massive thread, hope all are well
