Ive never done the GDUNH but now I want to!! Is it hard??
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 :)
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.
ouch mel! Have you been banned? lol
HAHAHAHA:
No I missed registration for sponsorship - by a few hours - grrrr @ me
hun don't hunt yet!!
Any icons found before 9am will be wiped from your tally. It doesn't start until 9am!!
From Shane (aka Mr Lesley) himself on nc ... hope you didn't stay up finding too many :(:
This is correct.:

Rayray what a bugger. Hope you had a nice time with your friend regardless!
Kazbah hope you get better really soon :hug: you poor thing.
Yep you will lose your icons if you found them before the official starting time. I found a few last time and they went.
Really can't afford to buy anything so not sure if I should register. Lastninght I sat and looked at a beetlebums carrier for 10 mins (couldn't believe anyone else didn't want it) and then left without buying it. Need to tighten belt with DH starting a new job with less pay (and stress too).
Whoever it was that wanted a cars nappy, there is one going live in 8 minutes at thecraftycaterpillar dot com dot au and it is sooo cute!!
the GDUNH is out in this house :( i cant be bothered :lol:
I just spent 10 minutes scrolling thru pages on one site and still didnt' find it. I don't think I have enough time to seriously do the GDUNH
WOHB: Blue blueerry side snapper
No GDUNH here either, way to complicated for me esp with baby brain lol
Aw that Cars nappy was cute but Im not buying the boys anymore large nappies otherwise Im going to have way to many. More Maz covers are a must though!
WOJB - Sandman and Maz cover
WORB - still asleep.........sandman and Maz cover too!
I'm doing the GDUNH but won't be buying much, I have a strange feeling Pip's going to be TT this year. But if I see any funky clothing :D
Oh, today's weigh-in - 4kg lost. Thanks for the thoughts.
now, do I start to unpack everything for the fire evac?
WoHB - BBB with IV cover. And babylegs! it's cold here today!
Ooooh yeah, hunt time!!! Too bad I have a horror mess of a house to clean today... might get a few in though! :lol:
the Hunt will be an ok distraction for me at the moment - the CC has been cancelled for a while until new ones arrive (someone hacked the account last night - sooo not happy - but woo hoo to CBA for being on the ball and calling without processing the payment!). with no CC i "should" be able to behave!:
showed DH the latest purchases last nigth when he got home - loves the Iishfly lady bug! he then sat with me last night while i was reassmebling BBB after pre-washing - and ended up putting some together for me! he laughed and told me it was going to be ages before he was confident putting nappies on our girl with all the boosters and stuff, but at least he gave it a go....
awww , secretly men LOVE MCN !! hehehe DH knows quite a bit about them and can do a BBH demo if i need him to ..:
I only normally register if I want something and dont do the hunt..i just cant get my head around it lol. PLus this tends to be a busy month for me ;) anyway's...
have PMed people about next weeks nappy meet up at Sammi's..SOOO looking forward to it :)
need to change someone :sick:
:cry: I wish I could come!!!:
Okay, so I'm already sucked right in to the hunt... can anyone tell me how much mandy macs are normally...? $13 seems super cheap....
Have found 8 icons so far... already starting to remember some of last times frustrations though!!! ;)
Hi ladies,
Like maz, i normally only register for the discount code.. I think i gave up the frustration of the hunt when i was pregnant with Seb (many moons ago).. But this year im viewing it from the other side so should be interesting..
Shelby has definately toilet trained and hasn't been in cloth for about two weeks now *cry*
Seb still loves his nappies though so thats a relief :)
Been busy busy, between sewing and building my new race car (pics on fb of what happened a week ago to my old one) so havent been around any of the regular traps of late..
Hope you're all well xo
I have found 13 icons and 2 extreme... and I quit for today lol it was hurting my head!
:o god...I dont think I ever got even that many when I did try int he years gone by!!1 shiat!!!!
I have minkee fluffy everywere!!!! joys of sewing together these dame colours!!!
Could someone who bought one of my pot of golds a few months ago reming me what colour I did on the inside :rolleyes: my brain is swimming in this fluff
I think I want another auriel....I cant get over you getting that one so cheap MissMoo...well done babe!
of to clean blah
Oh wow Mel, that's amazing.
I've found one icon :)
Bit worried as DH put Pip to nap in his shorts (argh!) and only a BP :rolleyes:
Mel - WOW!! I gave up after 14 but didn't even attempt any extreme!
Maz - It was a light blue, almost aqua?
I know Maz I am so excited to get it!! haha I paid for it, didn't even need to see pics :lol: lucky I trust Fiona!
Pot of gold cover... I want one. Hey when are you night nappies coming out Mazzzzzzzzi?
Soon babe...soon ;):
Vic - thanks honey..thought so just wanted to make sure
Missy Mel - Dang it!! It least I know where 2 are already ;)
Why does everything start or happen on a Sunday morning? That just makes my life difficult!!
With the hunt on my post average per day might go down :D But you gotta be in it to win it, and I need to get my brain working again, no stimulation makes me a very boring person :lol: I doubt I will buy anything unless I have a miracle happen.
Not much nappy wise happeing here - They have them on and that's about it.
hey everyone,
well i just tested out a pea pod on ds and it wasn't as good as the magic all beehind. Im in love with the magical beehinds. I know some of you have said u have found them to leek but for us THEY worked treat!! I sooo wished i had the cash to stock up more on them they are great for us. We are VERY happy or at least very happy with the one we have used so far YAY!
Squidipa thats fantastic!! Its always good to find something that works for you. Like we always say - what works for one bub may not work for another!
I've not had a good nappy day - DS has outpeed both the WC and IB at the party we were at the morning. The kid's a freakin pee machine I swear.
squidipa thats awesome!! I love the minky magicalls here :) I have 2 of the new style smooth ones which I don't really use because I prefer the minky ones :)
Mel that blows! Ash has had the same day... he was changed every hour from 12 till 5 today!! Oh and he didn't sleep either... sigh... so much for my hunting time!!
exactly :) i am now wishing to win lotto so i can get them from newborn up but i dont want the new ones with the pocket i love the ones i got especially with the direction joshie wee's in i was very surprised he had a BIG sleep and 5 hours later no leak :):
OH i have the SMOOTH and i like me i havnt tried to new style pocket smooth ones yet but i am sure they would be as good for us:) im VERY happy if ya cant tell hehehe i think it was the extra bamboo booster as that covered his woohoo and that stopped his leak :dance::
Good morning :hello:
Gigi, How is it that you know so much about MCNs?
Anyone else, The Nappy Hunt?. Is there a grand poobah winner at the end? What do you get?
Hope all of you Melbournians keep safe for the next few days. My family are from Melb but they live near the beach, cept for mu aunt who lives in Healsville.
36 weeks today YAY :bluecheer:
Hayden has finally had some cloth nappies on his poor little butt. This morning he's had his itti bitti and we've just changed it to a tots bots OSFM AIO:bluecheer:
Hi Mel, I'd love to take you up on the offer to check out your stash. It's taken me a while but I think I may have recovered from the shock of having an actual baby! I'm free this week on wed thurs & fri. Would it be ok if I contact you through your store cos I'm not sure how to contact you through here? TIA
Kerrie
maz - pot of gold inside is a turquoise blue. And it's gaawwwwwwgeous. nuff said.
Gigi - thank you for being my personal MCN consultant. You really should be charging for your services.
so... BumGs are usually ok with just the one microfibre insert, but I put in a hemp trifold as a booster sometimes. It's not so much the microfibre I have a prob with, I'm just dealing with the 8-10 month developmental no-sleep teething kicking-and-screaming defiant food-throwing biting slapping hair-pulling horrors at the moment, and wishing I had more AIOs so I didn't have to stuff pockets when I could be collapsing in a shattered heap now and then... oooh but he'll grow out of it. PLEASE tell me he'll grow out of it!! :pray: Even the Dr today said he's a three-year-old trapped in a 9-month-old's body.
The procare PUL sounds great. Another reason I don't love the HH is the PUL is soooo sticky when you stuff the inserts in. I didn't even think about the PUL in the BPs being the reason for the wicking and leaking... but since the actual insert wasn't completely soaked the other day, I guess that's the problem. Makes sense now. Mind vomit...
As for the travel ideas.. well DP still insists I can't take MCN but I will be secretly packing a few quick-drying pockets in a travel vacuum bag. I tried explaining that it will save us money (v. important!) and also that DS screams every time I put a sposie on him and then tries to shred it. He wouldn't hear it, but I think he was visualising the huge bag I took last time on holidays. But it's early days, I may still talk him round. Most of the time we will be staying places with laundry facilities, and it's summer where we're going so we don't need to take much clothing. DS is using the potty for poos mostly, and gets very upset if he has to poo when we're out. When I get time I'll look into a more compact potty. There may even be one where we're staying or I can get one there. It's a weird prospect, going to Beirut to buy a potty, then going to Nice to buy a potty... Can't just have a normal family holiday, can I?? :ROFL: I was looking at the folding toilet seats too, thought that might be a good thing to get started on now and take that instead. Too much to think about now.
Right, have to go call sleep school.
nana...i am NOT listening to you.......you mentioned pot o gold!!!!! not nice :p
i folded/put away a mountain of nappies last night...was in heaven :D
WOJB~ boosted motorbike panda baby
Heya girls....
Not doing the hunt either this year, every time I've tried it does my head in and I give up! Is it worth registering for the discounts though? In the market for some new nappies.
Also Mel/Kitt3n - ready for those newborn nappies whenever you are, if you're still happy to pass them on. Had our 19 week scan last week which showed a happy, healthy bub (flavour unknown thanks to DH :rolleyes:) so I'm feeling ready to start getting things together now. Let me know if they're good to go and I'll PM my address etc.
Mazaroo - I had a nappy we nicknamed the 'red menace' because it turned everything pink. Still got the darn thing cause I can't pass it on to anyone or sell it. It's a dyed mandy mac. I do have a red baby kanga pocket which i've never had any issues with though.
Thinking about getting the new bub some medium d'lish - you guys remember how old your bubs were when they fit into mediums and how long they were in them? This WILL be our last baby (didn't I say that last time??!! LOL!) so don't want to buy a whole heap of smaller nappies. Going to get the boy a six pack too. Or maybe a 12 pack....hmmm - how many nappies do you think I'll need for an almost 2 year old? I generally wash every second day. Maybe I could get a 12 pack and get him 7 or 8 larges and the rest mediums....hmmm...:think:
Then this is just for you kat
