    woohoo! Shiny new thread. I just sorted out my jumble of MCNs and found the bonnibuns that don't suit Charlotte now. I'm thinking they will be good for bub en route until a certain age. I have 34 inserts from CTs that died suitable for liners with added booster bonus. I found 16 dead CTs that are going to be dismantled and the minky is going to become a patchwork blanket. and the tub is neatly organised with the Abby Gro and BBH nappies I actually use now! I can feel the decluttering beginning

    WOCB: nothing. Airing her bits before getting dressed for bed!

    nesting early CL! so cute
    lol, while pregnant with DD, DP would come home from work to find everything sparkling and occasionally things rearranged lol. When I had a mate visiting we rearranged the loungeroom and master bedroom. It was hilarious really because the visiting male friend is CONSTANTLY like a nesting female with his cleaning anyway. DP came home from work and said "Oh crap, there's 2 of them right now" lol.

    I wanted to get rid of the junk in the nappy tub because it's been bugging me for ages so I finallly cracked it. All of the inserts/liners were put into washing machine and soaked overnight in ecostore powder. I can't sun them right now unfortunately because the puppy is hit and miss with pulling washing off the line. At least he hasn't chewed any clothes and is sticking to DP's old work boots which mainly get dragged around the yard. The dog thought it was Christmas when DP put them in front of it!

    I don't have enough nappies that fit Sahti yet, she came out a pound lighter than I was expecting....

    As predicted though - widdlewuns are a perfect fit on her and the only one that doesn't leak at the moment. Darn skinny chicken legs!

    WOMB: sposie cos she's at daycare today
    WOEB: widdlewuns
    WOSB: Mandy Mac with Maz cover. Praying for no leaks.

    wow, new thread!
    hey, im doing a strip wash, but theres no bubbles.... what liquid is best for it? i use that earth choice one and put in about the same as i do for the dishes... but its not bubbly or anything, not even coming out the hose... or is that normal? i remember being told to rinse untill the bubbles are gone, but theres none to start with!
    hoping the sun stays out to whiten up the yellowing stains from lill bubba

    WOBB: purple magicall
    WOKB: purple magiccall but not for much longer, shes stripping off cos dads turned the shower on...

    blergh! night nappy smell is repulsive! Don't think there is anything you can do to stop it smelling unfortunately. I used one on DD for the first time in 2 months last night and she leaked at about 7am just before dp was going to change her. Because she's less restless of a night now she doesn't wee as much (and we're getting more sleep ).
    I actually find it's worse is a sposie, the smell. But jack cannot outpee a maz NN at the moment so I leave the cover off... Maybe the fact that it breaths is why it doesn't smell?

    I bet my council doesn't (esp post flood) but what an awesome thing to do! What council is it Sarah?

    Listed SIL's nappies on the FB site, then realised how public it is and she has probably seen it. Oh well. They're not selling anyway. Boo.

    DH is devo'd that we are selling ittis, especially the ivory one, he has a thing for ivory minky, it would seem! But we have so much other lovely fluff, I really need to de-stash, hardcore.

    That is really ****ing awesome! About bloody time the councils bring more awareness to environment and waste!! We literally have 4 grocery bags maximum worth of rubbish a week from our house! It makes me damn proud

    I meant night nappy as in any nappy that DD wears overnight whether it's sposie or cloth. I can always smell when she's teething when I first enter her room in the morning. DD does power wee heaps because she drinks at least a litre of water before bed and during the night. It's hit and miss clothing her bum of a night and as it is we have to buy the size rated for the bracket above her weight with sposies. sometimes even they push it regarding capacity!
