Sami - Abby Gros are really hard to get hold of - she doesn't do stockings that often. There is another site though that people have them up for sale or swap sometimes though - gotta be quick but!
Jess - WC are wild child - is that what you were asking? Maz can get a wiff 3 days past ovulation ;)
*thinking maz should be sniffing something soon...*
Hi all :)
Well of COURSE it decided to pelt down with rain for the FIRST time in a MONTH this morning before I got up, so all my nappies on the patio are now SOAKED!! And the ones on top are DIRTY??? WTF??
grr...so now I have to rinse again and spin cos that are so satched.
lol so my luck to have a MASS of fresh nappies out when it breaks the longest drought in perth history! :wall:
No real other news...just thought Id share!
Maz - hope you are giving you bum some loving ;P :rofl:
WOHB: lime d'lish
I love the pop-ins... COntain everything... and u can adjust the rise also...
OK off to look at wild child... any other narrow crutch for big wetters,
ETA *thinking maz should be sniffing something soon...*..
?????
Is that your way of owning up Lex? Maz just sniffed today....:
I think we are going to have to stagger nap time :( Sarah kept Em awake for a few hours fighting her nap and now Em is overtired. FIL has taken her for a walk to help settle her now that Sarah is asleep. Learning to share a room is proving difficult for day sleeps!!
ETA: Nappy related - Ummmm, they both have them on.
WOEB: Camo cord CT
WOSB: Can't remember.
Ali- we dont have that issue here My DS never has a day sleep... :( thankfully now my DD is used to his noisy ways... lol
The pop ins are very nice Anna. I'd sugges those and CT's Baby beehinds has a new minky multi fit pocket but I haven't tried it yet.
Oh dear I hope I'm home the night of the 30th! Can I wait that long? lol
Maz - I hope you've got a REALLY good nose. I'm due to O any day now :dance: fingers crossed my body co-operates. Fingers crossed DF's body can cope :lol: hehehe it's holding up alright for now
Fluff news: DS outwet a boosted BBH magicall in 10 minutes this morning. No idea how.
Limey - I want that adorable Tantor the Elephant bag - so no-one better beat me to it! I'm waiting for that sale of yours to start ;) Oh and are you hinting you're UTD?
Ok for all of you CT ladies - especially Ali - I've put DS's first CT on him yesterday and admittedly it's a second but I don't think that would make a difference. Doing it up as tight as possible without cutting off DS's circulation it's on the second last snap. He doesn't have a chubby belly, and I can do up a BBH and IB so the wings are touching still. Are CT a smaller make or is this one possibly not regular size due to being a second?
We're off to the circus tonight, can't wait! We got elevated ringside seats so DS can see all the action - off to the Moscow Circus we gooooooooooooo. :dance: We were tossing up between wiggles and the circus, and the circus won :)
WOPB: Red BBH Magicall - hope it holds up. My kid always falls asleep in the car on the way home before I've had a chance to change him.
OK so I now have 4 GK's (2 normal 2 minky) on layby. Its a start, better not spend too much at once or Dh will bust a nut :lol:
:rofl: oooh no! Not ME!! lol
But there is someone...
I sat nudding :o .........
Anna - you'll love gk'S hon....I absolutely love mine.
and now im having a brain fart moment :think:
Cheeky- My Cushies the snaps are done up on DD so the tabs are touching... She could go overlapping but its a bit tight now. she is almost 1...
My Favs are the CT's and IB's. I was told at the expo that Mel would be getting some GiGi cushies soon for her store ??? can u confirm this Mel??? i want one.... and matching BL... LOL (of course)
CM not sure, You could bring it round to compare though. Sarah is on the last 2 snaps and Em is one further in on each side than Sarah. You need to bring it round anyway to get the snaps fixed ;) If you need an extra snap or 2 put in between the existing snaps for some more leeway I can do that too
Alrighty, Whoever it is, I keep hitting new posts looking for a preg annoucement. OWN UP!!!
Hey no sneaky references to sneaky secrets....................its not nice :p ;)
I'm confused - is Gigi (our gigi) making something for cushies?!?! I'm confuzzed :doh::
Sorry Mel... GiGi- Thats what My DS calls Giraffe... LOL... Giraffe print Cushie hun... LOL :redface:
Cm - we wanna take Ds1 to the circus this weekend but Im umming and ahhing about the $$$ for decent tixs. Youll have to tell us what its like!
Secrets???!!! Ohhh, who who who???!!!! :D
Better not be me Maz, I'm late again.... :rolleyes: but all over the place anyway...:wall:
Cant wait for the stocking. :dance::dance:
Has anyone had a prob with flushable nappy liners?? I've tried them on H fine, but Kane came out in red rash nearly straight away poor bub... dunno if I wanna try it again...
Sorry Mel I must be having a slow moment....whats hyena???
Can someone also refresh my memory.....GK stands for which again?? and are they osfm? Im sure I was thinking of getting some the other day....but Ive gone blank on the details now (think I need a mummy nap lol)
Helen
GK - Green Kids - OSFM pockets.
And Hyena - you tell me what you want and I will attempt to get it for you.. lol
Jess - ahhh yeah I so didn't think of that.. ROFL.. I was like - why would I know if Gigi was sewing for cushies? ROFL
OK Maz you need to spill or someone needs to own up to this wiff business??? Does Maz actually get a 6th sense with pregnancy? Sure as hell better not be me...I'm BF and using Billings and Condoms so no thank you (though i've been meaning to test as been having very vivid dreams and usually only get that whilst pg...:rolleyes:hmmm)
But yes i am a bummbling mess since yesterday...i know it will prob take a week or more to get my fluff, i only ordered yesterday and yet i rushed out when the mail man came today:doh: ahh i'm way too excited its not normal
So who's from Bris in here???? Do we have bris cloth meet ups?

newbie questions coming :redface::redface:
Mel, you mentioned earlier re Abby gro she doesn't do alot of stockings, and lots of other posters have mentioned stockings
I dont know what this means - can someone gimme the quickie explanation?? How do you know - where from - ppl talinkg about hyena'ing etc (I know what that is :p)
thanks
Bugga bugga bugga. thought it would be sat/sun. I am in yarrawonga sat-mon.:(
Am in melb from thurs-tues (mornington peninsula) 'cept for those 2 days.
Takin lil man down to visit the relo's.
LIMEY, least you got some rain. We got 120mls here last night and they say 300-400mls by the end of the week.
Glad we got a drier before lil arrived
Sami - stockings meaning that they stock their stores with new products. If Hyena you hang around the time of the stocking frantically refreshing your screen in a vain attempt to nab some of these gorgeous creations before the other 100 hyenas do lol You swarm around and pick at the offerings - like a hyena ;) :rofl:
Abby Gro dont stock often, meaning when she does there are LOTS of people all trying to nab as many as they can, so the competition is fierce and there are rarely any leftovers 5 minutes after the stocking time
ETA: yeah, I do like the rain - just not when it comes out of nowhere and rains on my beautiful dry fluff!! lol
Ahhhhh thanks so much - now it all makes sense.
So, how do you know when a special stocking is coming up and where are they sold - is it their own sites or on a commercial site etc?
Sami- Its normally their own site but some have them through a host site like WAHM naps. You need to subscribe to their newletters and usually the girls in here will warn of one coming up. Sharing the love! Its not nice to keep them to yourself ;)
Limey- the same thing with rain happened to me today!!!! I had 18 naps on the line since yesterday and then it rained over night and as they were just about dry it pours on them!!! So cross. It didn't even look like rain. Grr so now I have a close hourse of shells and a drier full of inserts and boosters. I won't be leaving the washing so long next time!
Maz- how did you go getting vy into a nappy? A bit tricky in a one piece. I wish I was going to melb! It sounds like its going to be massive!!!
:dance: :dance:
My 'lost' itti bitti's turned up in today's mail - Judith put in a lost parcel claim just before heading to Sydney for the expo and it turned up today - so so so so so so so happy
TK - So glad your IBs turned up!! :clap: AP has a habit of trying to scare us ;) lol I think they are trying to withhold the fluff!!
EEJ - How annoying is it!! lol
Only 90 Minutes To Go!!!...
;)
Well have the rewashed nappies are hung out so we are happy :)
WOHB: D'lish...soon to be patchwork Sandman
Damn i new i shouldn't of checked back here, its too tempting to wait up that 1hr for your special LS grrrr "go to sleep Simone you've already bought fluff this week"
hmmm
BTW THANK YOU to whoever suggested to double boost a BumG as a night nappy! brilliant (well for now we'll see how we go in the morn) can you buy just boosters for BumG? i presume so will go search cuz just buying 3more boosters will give me three NN as i dont like using BumG during the day cuz they are too wide for Tallon to crawl in.....woop woop
WOTB - BumG double boosted!!! heehee
:
a recession? is that like a big hole that your DD fell into? my DD "regressed" last fortnight, for one afternoon, when her cold/flu was at it's worst. She tt-d at 28 months i think, and is now 30 months old. i'm hanging onto the Little squirt, wetbag and a few nappies, cos i keep thinking i will wake up and her whole tt-ing will have been a dream. Prolly just wishful thinking on my part - oh no, have to go buy nappies again, wot a chore!
that's great about your night nappy success, good to have a win, whether it's getting the fit right, or the absorbency, or how to be a better hyena!! always something to think about, keep our mummy brains ticking over! i swear, concentrating on the mcn helped me get thru PND. pure distraction value. and colour therapy of the mcn in my life, each day.
Charmlea, were you aware, that KK's now come in a pocket version too? as well as the Ai2?:
SMOZ - you can get away with LESS night nappies, if you buy some quick dry ones.
Wild Child night nappies are fitted ones, need a cover.
but pocket style and ai2 night nappies do not need a cover, and dry faster.
e.g Kester Kovers pockets, Snoozywuns ai2.
so if you have all fitted night nappies, you will need a higher number, to allow for the drying time.
This was our stash for nights:
2 x whizz kidz nightz (fitteds) OSFA
2 x lotus nights (fitteds) large
2 x kester kovers aio, 1 medium long, 1 large
1 x kester kovers pocket (only bought it in March, she tt-d in April!!)
1 x dragonflymagik night nappy ai2 OSFM
1 x Disana woolly soaker pullup L or XL i'd have to check
1 x bear bottoms mm fleece cover medium
1 x sugarpeas mm fleece cover medium
(both of these mm fleece covers were used heaps, washed in zipper bags, and when i sold them, the buyer commented, they looked "as new" - i was so chuffed).
longies
2 x homemade bumjumpers
i could not fault any of these for nights, bilby did her best to test them all out thoroughly (sleeping in my bed, without mattress protector half the night), and none let us down.
i read all about people dealing with all the extra linen washing etc and realise i am lucky i used night nappies from the start and never had to deal with the extra washing/bedmaking etc. we co-slept at the start too. i guess we unofficially co-sleep for half the night now! the one night leak we had, was when dh put her in a DAY trainer, instead of a NIGHT trainer by mistake. tha'ts pretty good going, for 28 months i think. (mabye that makes up for her not eating, not talking, not being cuddly?).
wotbb: the blueberry night trainer with yellow, blue, spots (as yet un=named by Miss Bilby)
SMOZ - you can also boost a day pocket, like the bum genius, by stuffing it with a bamboo trifold (for extra absorption).
and whoever was after OSFA AIO, babysoftlandings have new stock of OSFA Rumperooz. the purple colour - :love:
Oh dear can you tell i'm surviving on 4hrs sleep a night....:wall: but yes a regression is the word i was after...its sucked DS has had 3 accidents daily for the last 4days and i'm sure its mil fault (he always comes back funny from her house:rolleyes:):
Well I am behaving and have come away with only 1 pair of babylegs to match my cow print nappy thats on the way....am now going to walk away from the computer b4 im tempted to buy that lovely gorgeous brown swirly one or any of the boy patterns....nope im going thats it too tired to think clearly and logically must be sensible
yep, sleep deprivation will do that to your vocabulary, every time!:
i've been sleep deprived for nearly three years now, so i relate to that! i think the longer it goes on, you just get better at covering it up!
sounds like you have an "interesting" r'ship with your MIL!! Mine is a plane ride away and lives in a nursing home, so does not interfere with bilby at all. So i listen to all the MIL talk with great interest. often makes me grateful i don't have to deal with it!
CheekyMonkey - bilby has the elephant backpack, and wherever we go, she HAS to turn her back, so whoever (the creche worker, the childcare worker) can admire her elephant. she is SO proud of her backpack! i must shorten the straps though, much too long for her. (pipsqueak).
Arimeh - i cant even get my machine to work! let alone sew anything for bilby, or any one else, let alone Cushie Tushies! fear not petal, it's not "this" gigi!! LOL. but i like being the name for a giraffe! (i'm a bit height challenged!!).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEXIS!! 26 sounds a pretty cool number to be!
pmsl smoz!
Glad you are giving the double BumG a try - it works for us still now if none of my NN are dry.
Re: BumG boosters - PM me :)
ETA:
Thanks Gigi! :) Ive still got an hour and a half to go here till its my birthday - enjoying a bourbon and a quiet house, savouring the last moments of being in my 'early' twenties! lol
WOHB: patchwork sandman
Happy birthday Lime :)
well im awake already grrrrrr 4hrsbroken again!!!! hhmmmmffff i can't even blame the kids i physcally cannot get to sleep b4 1am...but last night Theo woke all night with night mares so i slept in his bed, then HE kicked me out at 3 am "its ok mummy theo not scared now" grrrr
Well the double boosted BumG held up great so will def invest in some more boosters as i can't really afford NN atm
WOTB - home made 'Panda' pocket xoxoxo
Happy Birthday Limey!
Happy birthday Alexis!
Gigi - you sound like me - I can't sew either. Hell, I can't even cut in a straight line - even with lines to follow.. ahh well.
No news here - sick sick sick :(
WOAB: WC that I'm expecting him to poop in, which is good cos he always seems to outwet it
