    happy Easter everyone!

    no bunny visit here last night - one of the "advantages" of food sensitivities - i used to get hives when i had Easter Egg chocolate as a kid, so i label myself allergic. next easter might have to be a little different though... Gremlin will be introduced to eggs VERY slowly though just in case!

    rayray - when i washed the BBB and BBH they lost a bit of lint like Raven mentioned - i prewashed a couple of times and air dried, then after the third wash, i dried a while, then put them through the drier - only for a bit over half an hour (though i did have to clean the filter half way through!).

    as to using wash bags - i have washed a lot of stuff in the wash bags to be honest - last load, cos i was washing colored widdlewuns, iishfly's etc, i ended up with five wash bags, as well as a heap of other stuff (maz covers etc). i had no problems with an unbalanced washer at all... and even the strongest colored items haven't bled at all hun. if you're worried about the funky orange iishfly, soak it for a short time in a bucket first just to see what happens

    actually, in all the nappy washing (even reds) not one bit of dye has run - gave in and let mum wash all Gremlins funky girl clothes, and the first load of light colored things had a dark ribbon on one of cream tops - pink on everything! she was so upset! sent her on a mission to bye that stuff for when you make a boo boo like that and apparently it's all cleaned up now. poor mum - it would have happened the same to me anyway but she felt really bad about it...

    33 weeks today - not long now til i get to PLAY with these purddy nappies, not just look at them longingly! thought playing might not be as much fun once they're pee or poop filled - can't see me brushing minky against my face after that!


    eta - must be the day for hubbies to be cooking brekkie - mine is in the kitchen cooking bacon and eggs for brekkie now! i've agreed to cook roast for dinner (well, i'll do most of it - he always helps) - lamb for SIL and I, pork for DH and bro - the kids can have a mixture! not very often we do this kinda thing, but bro and SIL are coming out to pick up their kidlet so we figured why not?
