[MrsBexie]

My damn washing machine is broken!!!! And a load full of nappies is in there with water!!!! Will it ruin them soaking in water for 2 days?? We cant drain it



Sent from my iPhone so sorry for the spelling and punctuation!!

[~clover~]

I'd get them out MrsBexie. I drain mine with a bucket. Or you could syphen with a hose (but I'd be scared of a mouthful of nappy water!!)

Hey girls Back online. Had to send my lappy back to Acer for a new hard drive. Silly thing poo'd itself. Lost everything on it too

No exciting nappy news here. Going to have to start moving up from smalls though. Medium itti's are still fitting well. Only she's not taking long to out wee them. Think its the colder weather.
Loving my tutto's to bits still. Must get more when I have the money. I'm past the 'which pretty next' stage Its all about what works & fits & what doesn't. I think my prefolds are going to have to finally be let go One wee & they're done.

WOSB - ummm... daddledoo!

[Eenee]

Mrsbexie: I'd get them out. Can you put them in a bucket and wash them at a laundromat? Or a friends place?

[CrazyLady]

Is it a front loader MrsBexie? there should be a drain down the lower edge to syphon the water out somewhere. My hose blocked once and I got the stuff out that way.

[MrsBexie]

Top loader. I am too tired to get them out now. Will get dh to in the morning. There is too much newborn poo in there for me to touch it... Lol!

We have no sposies left in the house so i am going to have to use cloth tomorrow!! Will just have to handwash cause i dont want to buy any more sposies.
I found the eco wipes at target for $5!!! Woolies have them for $7 ish so i got 2 packs for the nappy bag until i can get around to making wipes. My bubblebubs bum cleaner foam stuff should be here soon to use with the wipes, but i forgot to get the pump foam bottle thing!!

Good to have you back clover!! Pm for a website that has new tuttos for $21-$26. They were $21 but not sure with the sale and when it ended.

Bex have you found your bubblebubs order to be really slow? Mine was only just posted! I'm very patient when it comes to customs etc but if it's in stock it shouldn't take over a week to be posted

Wowb- bonnibuns

[MrsBexie]

Yeah I only got an email on sat saying they had been posted!! I think the bum solution is made up as it is ordered?

WOCB: white pop-in cause we have no sposies left!! DH got the new circuit board thingy for the washing machine and he is fixing it now so everybody please pray or cross your fingers it fixes it so I can wash her nappies!!! LUCKILY I have a huge stash so still have about 9 nappies left to use plus 10 china cheapies!!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE work.

[WeeMansMummy]

Oh true. Well that would explain it then

Hi ladies! Back from Sydney, our 18-nappy travel stash was tight, but we made it. We took a mix of pockets and pretties. DD was on an absolute poo rampage, and managed to poo on my mum's bed, her carpet and my PJs, as well as weeing all over mum's dressing gown (that one was mum's fault, if mum is anywhere near the baby, her nappy is off. Mum likes bare bums ) So we were washing everyday, and then airing in front of the heater, worked really well.
We also had a poosplosion in the Qantas terminal, the beginning of a hideous chain of events that made for a very traumatic trip home. DH has said for me not to do any housework today and to just chill out, it was that bad. I am happy to oblige.

leckert - have you tried Bubblebubs AIOs? They have velcro tabs, and no snapping or stuffing involved. Doing a quick brain rack to think of anything else snap-less, but coming up blank. I love my GKs for travel, but full time stuffing is a pain in the bum, I agree. I have a Monkey Doodlez pocket, which is not snapped, and I think they might do an AIO too? Hopefully that helps.

WONB: Spunky Butts fitted and some sort of cover. I forget.

[MrsBexie]

Wow audax!! That doesnt sound very fun!

Washing machine fixed and going for only $80!! Brand new part which will hopefully keep it going much longer!

Wocb: royal blue tutto

ETA: sorry did you mean the velcro like GK or the sizing? AG are all snaps and a very diverse fit.

Not keen on the velcro stuff, much prefer the snaps; meant the sizing - although DH thinks the GKs are getting too small for DS

ETA - not really keen on the idea of AIOs - take too long to dry in winter here- prefer snap ins (Ai2s) with an extra set of boosters/inserts so I can use outers while inners are still drying.

[~clover~]

MrsB - you're evil! Not yet, can't afford it

Making DD2 a nappy, hopefully tomorrow. She's wetting the bed every night. I have no idea why she's suddenly doing it now, but i'm guessing its the cold. DS also wet MY bed last night (& me), but he only does it every few weeks, so doesn't bother me half as much.

WOSB - B4B fitted & Maz cover

Abby Gro all snaps to do up on bubs. All the bits unsnap and are decent drying tme. They have the flannelette style bamboo inserts like BBH multifits (not the standard smooth stuff) but all unsnap to dry separate. They're also idiot proof when it comes to snapping together. Even my father who came to visit from interstate and has had nothing to do with MCNs EVER could construct one for me and put it on DD. They definately are an awesome nappy absorbancy wise too. Added bonus is there is no absorbant layer in the shells so a budget option would be buying additional inserts and swapping them out while the other inserts dried. The shells dry in about 5 mins on a clothes airer near the heater so would be ready for your extra inserts in no time.

[luna moth]

Fits like GKs, but with snaps. BBH multifits? AGs didn't work for us. (which reminds me, Jaki) GFs - front or sidesnapping. I say so because I love GKs, so I'm just going through everything else I like. Our Bubblebubs AIOs are no slower to dry than any of our bamboo inserts. Hey, what about Bonnibuns? Added bonus is that they're cheap. Very similar fit, easy drying time. Can send you one to try if you like...

I think there might be an ear infection brewing... we're about to head off to the doc, and preparing for the AB poos.

WONB: Butter fleece GF.

[MrsBexie]

Oh no audax!!!! Fx no ear infection!!

Can someone explain to me exactly what the nappy hunt is??? I've seen it mentioned on alot of fb pages.

Did anyone else see that photo of the bonnibuns nappies going to the Darby collection? I'm stalking to get a king gee nappy! So cute

Wowb- issy bear

[teresa]

wmm - the nappy hunt is a sponsored event where you go looking for an elusive icon which is hiding on a work at home based business. there are around 150 different companies that sponsor the site which have hidden the icon somewhere on their web site for u to find. once u have found it you click on it and put your email account in. they have extreme icons too but i always find them extremely hard to find! its great fun but very frustrating at times

[*TripleJ*]
