SammiH, which state are you in? which city/town if you don't mind me asking? (JIC i can work out some IRL mcn shops for you).

Smoz - i never line dried our mcn, just dried them on clothes airer, with fan going, and tumble dried the inserts for a few minutes, just to fluff them up, get the last bit of damp out. PUL/fleece shells, covers, pockets didn't even need the drier.

if drying time is an issue, pockets and ai2's are the best thing out. and buy fitteds/inserts that are no more than TWO layers thick of absorbent material, in any component.

charmlea - how badly did the flooding affect you? are you ok?

Advancetown? is there really a town/suburb called this? i thought it was a wind up by Maz at first! Sounded so futuristic movie-like!

wotbb: ye olde blueberry as usual.

Done any wheelies yet, Alioops? LOL, thinking of you and your beautiful Bump.

Maz, are you sitting down without pain now hon?
Sorry to hear about Mat's legs.

Teru - Raven once explained Ittis to me as "narrow crotch, like Swaddlebees sized pockets, but fuller in the bottom section than Swaddlebees sized pockets." Sammi explained it well.

I know someone who received their Fluffy Bubs from this week's stocking ALREADY! talk about speedy postage!

My "convert" has bought cloth wipes and is about to order her Little Squirt, now i know she's really going to do it. it's like waiting for xmas (for me and her LOL). even her mum is getting excited now.
