good point CL

have just been having "issues" with hubby with how we should pack the car. i don't want to pack clothes or nappies into anything until i know what space we have. he has a "we'll be right" attitude. i just told him to pack what bags he though we'd fit in the boot. let's just say he was surprised at how much room a pram and a portacot take up! i have now rearranged it all and left us with heaps of space. but he no longer has the same attitude - now i think he's scared to suggest anything lol i think a bucket/tub would be a bit outside of what room we have available at the moment anyway...

The wetbags really have more squishability too and also no wasted space because you can roll them up to the size of the contents. Buckets are a set size whether you have 1 or 21 nappies in. Even maybe hang a wetbag from one of the hook things inside the doors too? Where people hang drycleaning... I am so brain dead today :lol:

We are going away around the same time BG. Heading down to Sydney for a funeral Tuesday or Wednesday. Every other trip we've done I've done sposies, but I just gave them all to Barney yesterday for her DD, coz they weren't gonna get used here. I'm not buying more, its pointless, they go to waste!

We have a wagon & I'll just stick the nappy tub in the back. Only taking Summer with us, makes it alot easier. More space. I might put my nappy bucket in, with my wet bag. But I only have one bag, so bucket it is. Alot easier with the space of a wagon though!

Nappies are on a heavy duty, eco store stain remover wash. Summer had the flu & was all choked up, must've been going straight through her. Poo, poo & more poo! Praying we have sun tomorrow... though I like snuggling with my babies in bed & listening to the rain too ;)

DS's had his turn & now its mine :( Feel like crap.

WOSB - um.... oh, leopard print MAL night!

Clover hope summer is feeling better!!

So... fluffy mail for me today. my BBH NN.... any tips? It's in the wash now (don't think i'll get to use it tonight :() Planning on using a wool cover... d'you think that'll do the trick? Not keen on PUL, especially when it's gonna be on for alot longer.

aaaand, does a MAL NN need a cover?

Helle, I don't use covers on my MAL nights. Heavier wetters might need one, but we don't.
I try to use fleece covers only over night. or a wool soaker.

Here it is... the nightly poo! She can go to bed soon.

Sydney tomorrow... scary... I hate city driving!

WOSB - half full daddledoo, about to be daddledoo night & wool soaker.

Finally found a night combo that works for ds!! I got some issy bear inserts for half price so insm using two night inserts in a minky pocket and it worked, it survived a bottle and a poo, will try all three tonight.

I think I have to sell or swap my tutto's ob mcn as they just leak on both Ds and dd.

You can use polar fleece as long as it's 100% polyester. Microfleece is better because it doesn't pill though.

HTH!

Nappy news: My darling younger sister got 3 metres of nappy flannelette for me! I'm gonna be busy soon hemming some flates. I think it was $3 a mtr and wide enough to make 4 per metre by the time I hemmed them! That's 12 flats for $9 so not bad!
