    other people benifit from it too, Im supporting WAHM's and I have sent off massive packages to other mummas who want to start, to nappy drives for the bushfire, and to other people I meet that are truely interested in cloth. It's nice to be able to do that without having to worry if I have enough
    I don't really give a rats what other people think lol it's my thing to spend my money on, and most will be put away for future bubbas (I want 6) so they will end up being cheaper than disposables in the long run.
    My kids have generous savings accounts, well and truely going to be enough for a house deposit and a car at 18. Between child support and my extra money i've built that up over the years.
    Oh and I might add that I am lucky enough to not have to justify it to any man

    well all my nappies are washed and dried ... shock horror. Then Ash goes and does 3 craps! 3!! One after the other. The second time I was kicking myself that I didn't wait 5 more minutes to change him but then once again 10 minutes later there was that familiar smell...

    its all good, he's in his gorgeous bumblebee gf

    I hope you don't think I was having a go at you Mel. I was just stating my opinion.
    I just have different plans for my money

    Anyone score anything at the recent stockings?

    Gigi:
    Was thinking about newborn nappy issues this morning...
    Would hemp prefolds/boosters work with a gusset cover as well as bamboo?

    I had a rough night with Jeremy last night... we went to a Thai restaurant for dinner to celebrate my MIL's 70th birthday and I don't think the food agreed with him.

    WOHB: cotton prefold with ME Riki cover

    I only have one Riki (xs size) wonder what my chances of getting some 2nd hand ones in bigger sizes are? I almost NEVER see them on B4B - do people EVER sell them????

    yep I love having a big collection too - I am with maz, i dont drink etc, dont spend money on myself (i dont even dye my hair!) and the amount of pairs of shoes i have can be counted on one hand - I have been lucky enough to try most and to find the ones that really do work the best for us. had I not tried more I would have settled for what I had previously, did get quite addicted! Now I will only buy more beetlebum inside outs and sugar shots (and gf's of course!) But for the moment I really dont need any, it will only be a special nappy if i do get more

    i have a new addiction, wraps and heaven help me....

    wohb - abby gro custom slushie (half pink argyle half blue)

    eta - pmsl mel on the "not having to justify" you know, i have to say, i am the only one who feels they need to justify, DH just says "honey it's OK, I knwo you are just doing what is best for laa". What a man

    are you on NC or NA? You could post a wanted ad, people usually have these things sitting around You might get lucky. If you like I can ask and see if anyone has any?
    I loved the ME Rikki covers when Ash was a NB! We used flanny flats and the ME Rikki with zero leaks

    CM nah hun didn't think that at all. Just thought I would point out that I don't spend all my $ on nappies I've cut down a lot on buying in the last couple of months. Most of those I had before Ash was 5 months old lol

    LOL Kitten that's like me too! I have 4 pairs of shoes, enough clothes that I don't need more but they aren't taking up a walk in robe and im happy with where we're at right now I do ok for a single mumma who doesn't work, the boys dad is great in that he pays his CS and makes sure the kids don't want for anything
