Ah Kazbah TRICKY TRICKY! I might just have to try that idea ;) Thanks
Although I'm thinking I'm going to put myself on a buying ban, or more just stick to DF's ban that's already in place. Wedding and honeymoon to pay for. Not to mention rates that I haven't budgeted for yet.
CM, I managed to do the fairytale wedding on a small budget. If i can help with any gluing let me know :lol:
Maz - I am sure someone will buy those nappies if they are just going to go to waste, if you still have them. Don't worry, they will eventually convert. Hope is not lost until he TTs!!
DH has to do the grocery shopping tomorrow so he will need washing powder so he can wash the nappies!!
Tips on buying "hard to get" brands
- visit their site, put yourself on their mailing list/newsletter list
- email the site, and explain what you're after, request a custom, or ask to be put on their custom list. I wouldn't do this if it was urgent, or your child was at the end of the largest size they make.
- let your friends know what you are after, so if they see a random stocking, and know your taste, they COULD get you one. but it helps to work out ceiling price, sizes, tastes, bank account, be REALLY SURE that you want it (and notify them if you change your mind in the mean time!!) details first.
- advertise for a hyena! i see ads like that on Nappycino LOL.
- see if that brand of nappy, has a blog, subscribe to it, the RSS feed thingy, so you are up to date in all ways possible.
- many WAHM's (that make these hyena worthy mcn) post on Nappycino, when they are going to have a stocking, even some random ones, so my advice is, join the Nappycino forum as well
$31 for a mama pad! hmmm. glittery star snaps can't be THAT exxy!
i love that blue nebula fabric on Gossamer dreams stocking.
Nary a night trainer in sight, lucky for me! Cherub's Kiss did make "pullups" at one stage, i wonder if that was a night nappy trainer?
wotbb: KKaio
if anyone sees any SMALL blueberry trainers on buy for baby, please LMK
g.j@internode.on.net
any colour, but must be size small
thanks lovelies.
when are you getting married Cheeky? how excitement!
Pretty Butterfly, the photography on MInilala is pretty fantastic heh?
Maz - will keep my eyes out for tiedyed singlets for you lovey, what about tiedyed tees as it's coming into autumn/winter?
Katones, can you email me please?
any news of today's meetup at Ange's?:dance::dance::dance:
ETA tis ok, i foudn the thread bout it
Pretty butterfly - which SS brands do you have?
i notice you have a berry plush. is that too low on your bub too? (another SS).
it may be worth your while, measuring your bub's rise, and ensuring that any future mcn you buy, has that rise (and maybe add a few cms for growing room) at least, otherwise you might keep buying nappies that are too low in the rise for her.
BG - noice score on the Star dress.
Ali - Any help you could give me would be soooooo much appreciated! It's very late notice (August this year) and NOTHING is set in stone yet. I have a very unco-operative DF that has only JUST started showing interest after more than a year of me trying to book things. I've sent you a friend request on msn, or you can PM me :)
Gigi - As always you are a fountain of information! All MCNers are so lucky to have you. Our wedding is late August this year. Well that's if I finally get it all sorted.
Ok so I was unable to sleep and no-one was posting on here :( So I decided to do a huge clean of the house. My mother is arriving tomorrow so it was either tonight or in the morning to clean it anyway. My mother is a clean freak, so even though I think my house is spotless (and so would anyone else I know) my mother would still clean things further.
She doesn't know we've been TTC either so I've had to make sure all baby making parafernalia has been hidden. All pre-conception vitamins, HPT's etc. We don't tell anyone because I hate the pressure of "so are you pregnant yet" comments.
Hmm did I even mention nappies in that post? Umm what to say what to say...
I washed, let dry, and folded a whole basket of them today. Oh and bid on a few too :redface:
Score a few MCN's from a friend at a great price... Some GK's and MD's .... bubblebubs any good... also what about the BBH AIO Magicals???
Also need advice for quick drying ones??? i need a high rise, preferable an AIO AI2 OSFM or medium size.
WOTB- flat and Big w cover...
I said I wasnt going to buy any fluff for awhile..............but do soakers count? :lol: I nabbed a green bumblebee and purple/white stripes from SHP's, at that price how could I not!
Anna...yes, soakers do count!! LOL. I was on SHP last night and put a stripey and a bumble bee in my cart...but then cancelled it...LOL, just can't afford it at the moment. I was sooooo tempted!!
CM...sent you a PM.
Gigi..hun i sent you a pm just now...i deleted my whole inbox and lost your email addy!!!! very tired here...Jack had his needles yesturday..and has had temps all night :( seems to be ok now...
hmmm nappies...i think one more...and then i am on a self imposed ban....
got a fair few to wash today... suns out so hopefully they dry today
Gigi, I have 3 ss.. 2 berry plush and one Swaddlebees....
I cant get any on her.. Tried the berry plush again yesterday... and nope, looks like its gonna slip off her little hips.. she's long and lean....
They are hardly used at all, and she's never worn the swaddlebees...:cry:
Could she just not be a SSnapper?? They are a small, and 2 mediums....
the only way it stays on is if I have the waist snap really tight... otherwise it bunches down on top of her thighs... her little butt crack was out yesterday... cute, but not very effective!!!
grrr I just got called UGLY by my 2.5 yr old DS ........
time to stop spending money on nappies and give my slef a makeover lol !!
got a lou lou in the post .. wooo its sooo soft and cute , i cant wait till Gabs can wear it !! Its a med and prolly a bit too big on her in the rise ... ..
SHP have awesome stuff ... Gabs is wearing her SHP shorties atm :)
must get to spotters some time too .. have a layby on there ... a new machine ... but i got no cash to pay it off lol ...
i should get fluff today ... 3 woddle bots or 2 bubble bubs off b4b !
Fluffy mail!!!! The 2 fluffy bubs from the stocking the other night...they were fast. They are so pretty! The pink arglye is like a minkee version of mini lala's pink damask so I'm glad I didn't win that one!
Not a nappy related parcel but still cute...I also got the most adorable ladybug backpack for Em. Will be good for daycare when I go back to work.
PB and Marlene- Mini lala won't be doing stockings anymore just the lottery since it was a success. But Carli said she is trying to get a manufacturer so then we can buy them anytime we like!!!! They are one of the funkiest nappies around. i can;t wait to get mine but I got the bill for it today 35.50 for the nap and 6.95 for postage!!! A bit dearer than I thought it would be.
Jess I like magicalls but they aren't quick drying, I think their new OSFM minkee will be awesome cause its a pocket and most pockets dry quick.
Firstly please forgive me if I forget you, I'm having a crap morning.
Jess - you have great friends to give you good deals on nappies. Only one of my friends uses MCN (I converted her, and I doubt her husband will ever forgive me) and she has a daughter younger than my DS. So no nappy buying or swapping between us.
Anna - I'll let you off on that one. I don't count soakers as nappy purchases, simply because it gives you more buying freedom hehe ;)
Marlene - I got your PM. You are a wonderful woman!
Katones - please share a little of your sun this way. This is SUPPOSED to be Townsville, all sun and no gloom. Well it's been bloody gloomy for days now and I'm sick of it.
PB - I don't know much about side snappers, as I said I have trouble putting them on DS as well. Maybe hold on to them in the hope that her little tummy fills out a bit?
Lea - Your son might call you ugly now, but I bet if you put on a transformers/spiderman/batman costume on you'd be the best looking chick in town :) Well to him anyway... hehe :dance:
Eej - you're making me jealous. Your fluff package sounds gorgeous. Pity the Mini LaLa was so expensive! Are they REALLY that good?
My news? Do I have news? Nope.
Any one know of any places stocking BL on sale??? IM desperately after a red and white stripped pair
Maz I just sent you an Email with a link for babylegs. $10 :)
Cm not sure if the Mll are that good tbh I ahven;'t tried one. They are jsut so gorgeous I hope its a good nappy!
Where are these $10 BL must have more!!!!
yeah c'mon where are these $10 bargain BL????
Pleasee can you PM the link too. I'm desperately looking for BLs cause Tyler's not wearing any pj pants at night - re my posts over the last few days.:
Thanks so much CM
Baby legs $10 where where... I need some newones... Anyone know where i can get bigger ones... My DS likes to wear them as sleeves... LOL looks funny with PINK ones...
OK I think i've PM'd you all?
There's only a random selection of them, not every style.
I didnt get a PM... Can i get a link too Please please please
WOTB:- DD AI2
Can I get that link too please (sorry to crash thread LOL... long time viewer, first time poster... in this thread LOL)
Oh, me too please honey... I'm a baby-leg-aholic... :pray:
Thanks CM for the link :)
Am i a tight ar$e or does $10.05 sound a lot for two pairs of BLs? ETA: for postage.
WOHB: Red IB
i had a looksee....BUT nothing there i liked :( i am going to make my own pairs of babylegs for Jack with ladies knee high socks (when i can find some i like!!!) as the baby legs cut into his thighs...(poor boy has taken after mummy) :rolleyes:
nappies will be on to wash very soon....i have dinner on cooking cleaned the pantry out...hung underwear on the line...(dog is tied up now til washing drys)
Wardy - I don't understand?
Katones - GREAT idea, but I never see any to buy. Let me know when you find some and where? Please :D
I think I've PM'd you all now.
EDIT: Ok Wardy just re-read your edited post. I didn't look at postage, oops?
CM: I didn't understand me either for a minute. I had to go back and re-read what I'd written and edit it.
TBH, with Mel's discount for BB members, it's just as cheap to buy two pairs from her. I'd rather suppport Mel :) (although I might buy from both)
$10 is a lot for postage!!
Is that from the $10 BL people? That would explain how they can sell them so cheap lol
Hi Danielle! :) welcome
nothing here yet...lol
WOHB: ebay job pocket...not bad
I was charged $9.20 for 4 pairs. Postage that is.
Maybe cause you're in Qld too, CM. I'm in Melbourne so I was hit with $10.05 for 2 pairs, or $11.05 for 3 pairs. For 3 pairs its not so bad but seemed steep for 2!
Yep, I got charged $10 for postage.... so Ill get mine from Mel!!! ;) Shame, I would of gotten a few pairs too....
how are they posting it? If its by AP then it shouldnt matter where you live, it all costs the same to send to alice springs or around the corner doesnt it?
odd.
have so many nappies to fold today! Been putting it off for ages lol just not feeling the love today! Want to go back to sleep - is it bed time yet? - but had to get up at 6 to take DH to work. Ok so I know that isnt early for most people, but Charlotte sleeps in with me til half 8 usually!
Oh well. Gotta love ABC kids
No that wasnt nappy related was it?
Ah I didn't think of postage to different states girls, thought mine was pretty good.
Mine worked out cheaper from the website, Sorry Mel but I need to save all the money I can at the moment. :redface:
**figment of forum imagination**
Weird things are going on with this thread.
I can see posts down below here when I'm in the "reply to thread" part. However if I refresh the thread itself the new posts don't show up...
Thanks Rach and PB :hug:
Mel has nice ones too... I like to make postage worth while... place an order when i have a few things i want... Aldo BL or leg warmers on ebay... some actual BABYLEGS and other diff brands... also search for leg warmers... found heaps of lady ones... i have issues with them cutting in to DD's thighs also... hence why i am looking for bigger sizing
postage varies to wherever you post unless you use pre paid satchels ;) Mel's postage rates are some of the best I haev seen, she doesnt cover her own costs silly thing!! Stop being so nice to everyone Mel
i think i would like to get some woolen baby legs, i think SHP and vintage vibes do this. I have enough cotton ones, when i bought huggalugs I was actually told they were a wool blend, but they arent! grrrrrrrrrr
someone was asking about magikalls.........? i dotn like them very much. The snapped minkee ones dont suit us and i dont like the colours of the PUL ones. GREAT husband/daycare nappies though
laa's and dd1's matching mLongies should be ready soon, dd1`is so excited to have matching pants with the baby. cute :)
ls - what happened? was it knitted stuff you were doing?
danielle m - hey!! nice to see you in here
bg - nice score on the dress hun! its very pretty. damn that all the auriels went up at once........... however my hyena skills were put to good use :)
well we are getting a new kitchen in (woo hoo landlord finally organised!) and the water was off, i forgot to put some in a thermos for laa so i used spring water to clean her poo. this kid gets her crap cleaned off with spring water then just does another on silk. one plush butt i tell ya!
wohb - jamtots hemp fitted/maz butterfly cover
OMG - Kitt3n - Was it me that told you that? If it was I am sooooooooo sorry, I think I checked with Shell? Oh I can't remember but if it was me I am very sorry!!!
CM - All of our invites and place cards were done on the PC and then I glued them all onto the backing cards. Took forever but saved us a fortune and they looked great!! I have one of those wheel cutters so all the lines are straight too.
WTF is with this rain?? it is supposed to be SUNNY Queensland. Wet season is OVER so why is it raining here? Rain rain go south for the day, come back in December.
I had better go write a shopping list for DH. Otherwise there will be nothing edible and he will serve Chipolatas with Baked Beans again :sick:
WOEB: Green camo CT.
im struggling to keep on with this thread now LOL few days and its almost a thread. sadly i dont have as much time for BB & nappy shopping as i use to prior to our overseas trip. our baby has turned into a monsta n eats up all my time!!
ive decided ive got enough nappies (for now), i go shopping for bibs instead LOL
for those without a LS, how do u deal with pooey nappies? i need to find another way besides using toilet paper to get most in the toilet then rinsing. using too much TP even if he only does a poo every 2-3 days...slowly looking for a LS but jst dont have time *sigh*
Not sure if anyone answered this but yes if its the stuff on b4b thats her.:
BG - yay! Im assuming its the star dress?
I was brave and stayed away..bring on this stimulus bizzo..neither me or DH get paid til next week so strictly no buying before the 22nd.
