**Pandora** · February 28th, 2009, 02:13 PM

...i'm having a slack Biartch day today ...

Im having a slack biatch life

well, ok afternoon. I fell alseep on the couch and Milo ran riot for an hour. Loooooooots of cleaning to do..

i went over to a friends house who is due about 4 weeks after me, so show her some of the clothie stuff I have, as she was planning to buy everything in the same brand straight up and I was telling her how they are all really different etc.

So she organised for a demonstrator for a very well known MCN brand to come and do a demo for her..well she didnt turn up, no phone call etc. We couldnt phone her as shes refused to give my friend her phone number when she asked, so all we had was an email address..

Expecting 4 or 5 (its bad when you cant remember) fluffy mail parcels this week! wahoo.

Wow RayRay that is really rude!

Wow RayRay that is really rude!

yeah that! how hard is it to provide a contact number or at least make a phone call if you can't make it somewhere - how bloody rude!

**alioops** · February 28th, 2009, 03:45 PM

Ray if I was her I would be putting in a complaint with the parent company. It does them no favours to have someone doing the dodgy on customers.

Well I still havent gotten around to hanging the washing outside. Too much noise from neighbours pesky little yappers if I do and the girls have just gone down for their nap finally. They really need sleep. Might just have to put the washing on the clothes airer instead.

gee RayRay thats well outta order !! but in saying that i was at a demo today and right in the middle of it my brain reminded me i have a demo on tues night !!

lucky i remembered !! its all the way over in carina .. about 60kms from me but theres no bris demon. yet so its my turf for a while ~ i dont mind BUT the MASTITS/LUMP fairy visited me yesterday and im floored ! esp when i did a demo in toowoomba ( about 50k's away ) !!

im sooo tired im just letting nixon play with DH's xbox and i dont really care !! he knows im sick atm but he was selfish enough to go to work (he offered

) and then went and played golf !! grr im angry and sick and sooky , he gonna regret coming home

:yay: on TT Gigi , it happens so fast .. nix is #1 trained but not #2 .. he does that on the floor ! but he'll get the hang of it soon .. who are the trainers by ???

Gigi -My goodness, you must be so happy/sad all at once! Don't you go and leave us now!! Yeah, um, side-snappers just seem to fit better now, and I love the fit of the Berry Plush on DS. However I was carrying him in the sling today for an hour or so (and he's 10kg+ !!!

) and he wet thru the nappy, his jeans and my shirt. That was a BP with the tri-fold snap-in. So, yes, heavy wetter

. I still think the BumGs are great and I shouldn't be so hasty to get rid of them. I'm just having a love/hate moment with stuffing pockets and microfibre and all that... I'll get over it.
I have one Blueberry pocket that's a OSFM and velcro. Like it very much! Want to get more, and try the side-snaps, but can't justify it without selling something else first. Hence the BumGs, seeing as I have mostly those.
HH - I have the OSFM with the adjustable snaps for the sizing and aplix fastening. Don't have access to a snap machine. I have access to... a hammer

. And a sewing machine. A lawn mower, umm, also many sharp utensils. But I prefer the hammer. That wont do, will it?

OK, I have an ishoo.... a big one. DP's family have chipped in and bought us tickets to France to visit them in June (woohoo!!!). BUT DP says I can't take cloth nappies. Not even one or two. (I'm gunna sneak them in anyway!) Admittedly, I took waaaaaay too many on our last holiday to Qld, but whatever... I wasn't to know. But what am I going to do about the fact that DS is ECing all by himself and hasn't pooped in a nappy in ages now? I don't think I can take his funky red potty in my hand luggage!! Oh, the dilemma... somebody think for me please! I'm soooo tired!

WOHB: wild child NN, maz-a-licious cover (which I'm taking to France!)

**Kazbah** · February 28th, 2009, 07:37 PM

wow NaNa, gret news on the ECing! Maybe contact their airline & get their advice?

Well today's been a write-off for m, I've had a tummy bug and DH has been cleaning up after me

and I'm waaay behind in the washing dept. If only I wore nappies, cause then I'd have clean undies. On the bright side, I've lost 3kg since Sunday.

WoHB - something night with a whizzkids fleece cover. I have fluffy mail! CFA soaker, just need to lanolise it! Also got mama-mail! nice cow-print night.

**Gigi** · February 28th, 2009, 09:05 PM

Gigi -My goodness, you must be so happy/sad all at once!

Yes, the sight of bilby's tiny butt in proper knickers makes me laugh, so cute.
We took her out in the car in trainers today, no accidents in the Piddle pad.

Then i see her baskets of UNUSED nappies in her room, and i feel sad.
THe nappy bucket and the little squirt, sitting there in the toilet room unused. Sigh.

Don't you go and leave us now!! Yeah, um, side-snappers just seem to fit better now, and I love the fit of the Berry Plush on DS. However I was carrying him in the sling today for an hour or so (and he's 10kg+ !!!

) and he wet thru the nappy, his jeans and my shirt. That was a BP with the tri-fold snap-in. So, yes, heavy wetter

.

the berryplush use a one mm PUL though. that was why i asked you if you had a heavy wetter. most other PUL's are the two mm type you see.

Do you have any MCN that have malden mills windpro as the outer layer? i swear that stuff is bulletproof. but to be fair, i was not a sling mamma, so have not put any of our mcn thru that particular testing phase.

I still think the BumGs are great and I shouldn't be so hasty to get rid of them. I'm just having a love/hate moment with stuffing pockets and microfibre and all that... I'll get over it.

hmmm, i suggest you just stuff the bumgenius with a bamboo trifold.

did you know that the Procare PUL, doesn't grip? so when you insert the pocket stuffer, the insert just GLIDES in! much easier i find (or found - sob sob!).
Sugarshots and beetlebums (both make SS pockets) use Procare PUL, not many brands do, pity, cos it's the most excellent stuff.

I have one Blueberry pocket that's a OSFM and velcro. Like it very much! Want to get more, and try the side-snaps, but can't justify it without selling something else first. Hence the BumGs, seeing as I have mostly those.

if you get the blueberry sized ss pockets, stuff them with bamboo trifolds.

HH - I have the OSFM with the adjustable snaps for the sizing and aplix fastening. Don't have access to a snap machine. I have access to... a hammer

. And a sewing machine. A lawn mower, umm, also many sharp utensils. But I prefer the hammer. That wont do, will it?

OK, I have an ishoo.... a big one. DP's family have chipped in and bought us tickets to France to visit them in June (woohoo!!!). BUT DP says I can't take cloth nappies. Not even one or two.

Oh, the dilemma... somebody think for me please! I'm soooo tired!

i thought i had seen COLLAPSIBLE potties on some EC-ing websites, but now i can't find them, so maybe i was hallucinating about that, will email some friends who are EC-ing their bubs, to double check for you. i know they travel a fair bit, but car travel, not air travel.

the more i think about it. Nappies on plane, buy potty when you get to France?
or put yours in your suitcase, stuffed with socks?

(just got a folding toilet seat insert from big w yesterday too). as soon as i bought the exxy potty, she decided the next day she would ONLY use the Big Toilet - typical.

I would be taking funky cloth trainers with me to France if he is EC-ing so effectively. Go the "not yet walking but soon to be TT-d bub"! I think i'm about to have the barely talking, can't dress herself, still breastfed but TT-d toddler.

Do you look at EC-ing websites? like The Potty SHop, Tribal Baby, Tiny Knickers? Look under accessories. Is he Ec-ing even for poo as well as wees?

There is MCN in France too. Petit' Prairie is one french mcn brand i have heard is stocked in Aust.

WOHB: wild child NN, maz-a-licious cover (which I'm taking to France!)

yes, i need another baby to put bilby's mcn on. i sold her nb stuff yonks ago (trying to deal with the fact that she will be my only child), know exactly what i would get if i needed to mcn a nb though. fat chance, but i can't help but dream.

wotbb: KK AIO

CHARMLEA : Australian made trainers?

Econix and Shi Shi Nix by bongo baby.
Marnie's one wet pants by Noonee Wilga.
Daddledoo trainers by Daddledoo nappies on wahmnaps mall
I've got a feeling there might be Genesa Forge ones too, not 100% on that.

comparable prices to the mass produced overseas ones too.

RAYRAY - how incredibly rude of that demonstrator! that's a shocker! i bet the parent company would be livid if they were informed.

KAZBAH - gastro is such a shocker - hugs hon. takes so much out of you, i'm not trying to be funny here, it really does knock you for six. takes a while to get your strength back, glad to hear your dh is looking after you. What a time to get it, when you're worried about possible bushfire evacuation as well! blimey.

ALIOOPS - i commiserate with you over the noisy neighbours!

TERU - GL with your final packing mayhem! have a wonderful time and safe travels!

**~Saram~** · February 28th, 2009, 09:18 PM

Gigi - hugs to you, Ari is my last also so my heart goes out you, I know just where you are coming from - I think that is why I haven't been so brilliant with insisting on TT, I love her nappies too much

**~Saram~** · February 28th, 2009, 11:08 PM

Hey Gigi - is this your little Bilby I have been looking at on my calender for the past month and not noticed :-) What a gorgy little girl you have!

**alioops** · February 28th, 2009, 11:16 PM

Well the hunt has begun!!! Has anyone found any icons yet? I am not going to bed until I have 1.

**~Saram~** · February 28th, 2009, 11:18 PM

So not hunting this time - got myself into way too much nappy fluff last time - Good luck to the hunters!

rhyb · February 28th, 2009, 11:23 PM

Ive never done the GDUNH but now I want to!! Is it hard??

**LimeSlice** · March 1st, 2009, 12:23 AM

rhyb - it is addictive!! lol and be prepared to want to spend A LOT of money on some very cool MCN and other goodies!
The extreme sites are VERY Hard for the most part, the others are more time consuming than anything else and there are quite a few sites that participate.
It is great fun though and a fab way to find new and exciting products

ETA: Got my first one! lol off with an easy one, Silly Gilly

**Arimeh** · March 1st, 2009, 05:49 AM

Pffft.. don't even mention the GDUNH in this house - I'm a bitter wench about it at the moment......

Ray - that is SO rude. I'd definitely be calling the parent company.

NaNa - ahhh what a dilemma - I agree with getting potty over there and MCN for plane trip - take quick drying ones like pockets just incase he wants them more over there? Or take the opportunity to get some really cool french ones!! WOOHOO!!!

No nappy news from here..ho hum

WOA & M B: Both still in night nappies... soaked I bet.
