lol i come back and i am a thread killer!

[alioops]

Yay Forums are back!!!

Hmm Nappies are on the airer. DH let them go too far again. Some nappies even went on bottoms while still slightly damp from the wash. Not good.

MMM - Welcome back. They get the blame for a lot of my comp issues too.

Gigi - Yay on NC having Moogoo!!! and the new store is close enough to your place to make it cheaper to buy IRL with fuel costs than to pay postage for online too!!!

i am back for today & tomorrow...am home today...had a nightmare night last night...and a NOT-so-sick little boy....who WAS sick... oh well a day off work....

nappies....got a heap drying on the clothes horse on the front verandah

[~Raven~]

Had health centre this morning and the only redeeming comment the nurse made was how cool the kids nappies were and that she sees a few of them! Might have to try peering over the neighbours fences to see if any clothies live nearby. Pity the estate stipulated 6ft fences and I'm nowhere near that tall As to the rest of the appointment I want our old nurse back!

Oh and I finally got my paws on a size1 Auriel for little miss but it doesn't seem to suit her shape

[Daffodil Mumma]

Yay I managed to log in today!! Woohoo!!
Couple of questions for you guys about washing/drying my nappies.....
So my Dad is buying a dryer for my birthday (yipppeeee) will my MCN be ok thrown the dryer most of the time...or should I only use it for emergency washes???
Also this might be really silly......but when I am doing my pre-wash for new MCN, can I just chuck them in the dryer and back in the wash again or is that not so good for them??

Sorry to have gone MIA then return just to blast you guys with questions but I have a very cool layby Ive nearly paid off and dont wanna ruin them straight away lol

WOJB: prefold and bummis cover (yup I really need to get brave and try his CT)

I think I missed an entire thread in my absence. Is everyone here, hope I haven't missed anything too exciting as I don't have time to read them all.

Well, I had totally given up on my Iishfly Ladybird getting to me (over 3 weeks ago, no response to my email, thought must have been lost in post) And then, today, it arrived , with an additional funky olive/floral nappy - WOOT WOOT!!! Now THAT's a fluff fix!!!

[Olive]

TK i found newborn cloth extremely easy and alot less messy! i get leaks from sposies but due to having great covers i've(millie) had one wee leak and that was on poor maz!!

[Cheeky_Monkey]

Hi ladies!

I know I always say it, but this thread moves way too fast.

BG - I'm slack and don't venture out of this thread so Congratulations hun on the arrival of your gorgeous little gremlin. Can't wait to see photos, can someone show me photos?

Kitt3n - So glad you've rejoined us hun, missed u

Fluff - stop teasing me with comments about drinking with Maz.

NaNa - So jealous about your trip, enjoy it! I too want to see photos of the Pot-o-Gold in as many countries as possible hehehe Would love to see the eiffel tower in the background - pot-o-gold front and centre of course.

Arimeh - I think lots of work hours are lost to facebook and various forums these days. I'd hate to be an employer, knowing how much time my employees spent procrastinating on the internet on my time lol

Smoz - I hope you get everything under control. Take your time, stop and breathe.

Sas - yay on the fluffy mail, extra yay on the second fluff for free! AP is dodgy!

AJP - did Millie literally leak ON maz, or with a maz cover? lol if poor Maz copped a **** on her that would just be hilarious! Sorry maz

Nappy News: MIL and SIL are due to arrive tonight and it will be the first time they've seen DS in cloth. They didn't think I could do it, stick with it I mean. Oh how I love in-laws, NOT. No faith in me or my parenting skills what so ever. Always questioning my parenting decisions and nothing I do for DS is good enough, or what SHE did with HER children. *sigh*

WOPB: Zilch. In the shower with Daddy.

AJP - did Millie literally leak ON maz, or with a maz cover? lol if poor Maz copped a **** on her that would just be hilarious! Sorry maz

Hey girls,

How do I pre-wash and wash my eco-bubs?? It's the wool one. Just throw it in with my other one's and do cold prewash then warm or cold wash with mild detergent?!!? as per usual? I tried looking on their website but can't see wash instructions.

TIA

WOHB: GK Minky Pink Retro - love it!

[Shanti]

Peapods.... what the hell?!?!

I know peapods aren't the most rated nappy around and only a basic MCN however they work great for us!! DD has never had a leak! Anyway, I did some washing today and did my warm wash with a few of them and my other MCNs and as I was hanging them up, noticed that one of the peapods is showing some serious wear!!! I'll try to explain.... the plastic coating off the PUL is coming off on the inside so it looks like really thin plastic sheeting hanging off the PUL does that make sense??? wtf..... I'm seeing Peapod at the baby expo in few weeks so will show them then. Not very good considering it's only been worn maybe 20 times?? do they use a cheaper type PUL??

Any ideas girls why it would do this?

[Livinthedream]

EEJ- would love to help re expo and bag if I can.

Am in melbourne town. My lil Man was a deadset legend on the plane, did not hear a peep out of him. He has also put in a stellar performance for grandson of the year, has been a complete angel all day.
I am so in love.......

Teru, I know what you mean re your customs. Was tooling around on the puter till way too late last night looking at embroidery.

BG, huge congrats on Emerald (are you shortening it to Em?) hope you are having the time of your life. xx

BRRR its cool in melbourne town Kat, pack jumpers.....

[Arimeh]

CM - I wash mine after every use.

EEJ - I'm going - hopefully meeting up with Ren and some other BB girls, so I'm sure one of us can help you out with the wetbag.

Ren - peapods... delaminating? Do you know if they come with a warranty at all?

Miss M has decided that sleep is the enemy at the moment, so I'm living on coffee, coke and cups of tea. Not good for the growing bubba, but neither is mummy falling asleep on the job!! Would be ever so much easier to get through these days after crappy nights if the toddler was still having a day sleep!!!!

*yawn* Better get to bed I suppose. She is still up so have to try and convince her to fall asleep with us instead of playing silly buggers.

And I agree - this Melb meet up sounds awesome - watch out for the pigs

WOAB: Snooooooozy .. cos he's snoooooozin'
WOMB: KK & a liner cos she's got nappy rash real bad and I had to use Sudocream (lucky I found a tester that I got from a bag when she was born!!)

[tk1999]

Ok so hopefully (fingers crossed) this is the link to Mum's First Soaker

[Shanti]

Mel - yeah that's what it's called umm i think the warranty is 6mths from date of purchase and we bought these at the baby expo June08!!!
do you think i should take it to expo to show them and they might just give me a replacement? i think thats pretty cr@p if they dont. i've looked after them.
