I just don't want to be misunderstood in my want for australian made.

bizy bee, mirabai, wild child, just to name some others.
I still consider BBH/Davina a WAHMShe still does all the hard crap from home, even if she has had to employ people to help her

Hi All!
Just popping in to let you know that I'm still alive and well.
I've been having bad headaches with the pregnancy so have to sort of check out of life now and again as the only thing I can take for them is Panadol or Panadeine and neither of those work for me.
I think I have everything I need for baby #2 as far as nappies are concerned! The addiction is bad as I could just keep buying and buying but I'm trying to control myself!
DS still isn't toilet trained so he is still enjoying all my lovely large and OSFM nappies! I must say though that I would be more than happy to get him day trained at least before the next child arrives. Time will tell!
Not much else to report... I hope everyone is well and now that I'm back I'll try to pop in here more often!

yup, I'm still here. Things have just gone mental and I've had NO SLEEP + NO INTERNET + NO time to even scratch my weary head with this berserk bebe monsta... and I cant even sell him on ebay.
Gigi - if you're around, thank you again! They fit great, and will for a little while longer too! Perfect!
CM - um, have you considered that even though the MCN you're looking into are made here in Australia, chances are the fabric comes from elsewhere?? Quite possibly China, but not always. And that's not necessarily a bad thing because our climate isn't really suited to growing some things like cotton without pesticides, irrigation and whatever. Some of the best fleece is from USA or Canada, and wool from Europe or NZ. I appreciate your determinedness to use Australian made wherever possible, it's really admirable. I think if sposies and convenience products weren't so dominant in society, there would be far more options, and need for things made and produced here.
OK, rant over...
nappy stuff here, well, um, not much. I want to sell my BumGs and get BerryPlush and Blueberry instead. Can anyone tell me the approximate resale value of them? There's about 18, all V3, and they're around 6-7 months old, well cared for and in VGC. I just have noooo time!! And I need a fluffy mail fix. It's been too long!
WOHB: Happy Heiny. Not loving these so much anymore either. Wing droop.. blah.

Heidi have you got the headaches checked? I had a such bad ones with Ashton ended up being my blood pressure!

nana I would check the resale for you but for some reason i can't get on buyforbaby
or nappycino
I AM GOING CRAZY!

Thanks NaNa I do realise that the fabric isn't necessarily from Australia. Like I said earlier though using products and services from overseas isn't really my concern. It's more wanting to support australian wahm's I think. I don't know, but thank-you for your appreciation.
EDIT: Ok so my quote didn't work for some reason. Nevermind - this was in reply to NaNa obviously hehe

Well i cant get on NC or B4B. BB keeps playing up too. I am supposed to post a heap of nappies I sold but can't get the addresses from my PM box on NC. I have had a **** day yesterday, and today is just as bad. Dave and I split up. . . again. I had to go pick up Jaidan early from school because he fell off the playground and cut his chin and banged his head. I am soooo tired but I know there is stuff to do, where is my motivation to do it? I just need to hang nappies out... not hard... but you think I can pry my fat ass from this chair? NO.
Plus I have a headache from crying
SEE IM GOING CRAZY!

Mazzie - I got your package yesterday - shanks babe *mwah* you are a goddess!!!
Missy MelI'm sorry you guys broke up again! Seems to be a lot of love there, but a bit of mismanagement - maybe you guys could get into counselling or something if you truly want to work it out? I know its hard to be in a relationship that has a lot of down periods
I'm here if you need to chat!!!
Glad they arrives Jols

ok, the nesting urge has hit again (it seems to play nice and go away for a few days - then the worse i feel ms/headache wise, the harder it hits! guess that means i'll be fantastic housekeeper when i have a newborn and suffering sleeep deprivation!)
anyway - i'm washing nappies again - well, planning to! and i need to start washing some colored stuff. i know GIGI mentioned colors running, so i need to know - are there any nappies that notoriously run? i have a huge mix of colors and materials - just wanting to know if anyone has come across anything that makes a mess so that i don't mess them up before they even get used once!
am going to grab the tub and pull out all the liners and things and wash them together (no color so no chance of dye running!) but i'm just wondering about the outers for things like Itti's, iish flys etc
help!!
nah you werent mizunderstood !! good to see your helping out our aussie ma's
woot yeah ! i get a fluffy fix today !! a purple nights and some boosters i got 3 MD boosters to boost my LULU's .. as one is QC outer and get wicking even if its not totally saturated ! i love my lu lu s thougs .. but i do with the PUL in them wasnt so fricken noisy/plasticy .. i would LOVE more fleece AIO's but sniff i dont have the cash ,,
must e the week for selling nappies on b4b , i took pics of about 20 nappies im about to get rid of !! argh and theres still more .. im trying to simplify ...
im going for 8-10 Aio's and about 18 fitteds + 3 NN im med and 3 in large and one OSFA .. and 2 NN covers in XL and 4 covers in MED !! that should do me till Gabriella TT's now that my big (currently sick) boy is using the toilets for wees and his pants for poos !!

so today im the fluff fairy for 2 ppl !!
oh and i got no "blame buddt" DH knows all my friends are too tight ar$ed to do anything like that ... prolly even too tight to take the "blame"
Registered User
Sarah or Anna - I need a blame buddy. DH notices.
Maybe I broke B4B. I couldnt get on it yesterday. Sorry!!!
Missy Mel - I have those days at least once a week. Feel free to sit on your bum for a while, sometimes a sulk helps!! I really should be catching up on clothes washing but can't be bothered right now. All the nappies are done though.
BG I should probably start my prewashing, but Meh, it will be easier when DH is home to get him to carry the basket.

BG - I don't separate anything and my colours are fine.
The only thing that has run is a pair of dark blue longies - which only affected all the other woolies I had soaking in there at the time. Blue is a nice colour mixed with other colours right?

BG - I have always just chucked everythign in together - ittis' ish, you name it, all in together, no problems here..............
