Saves having a cake of soap handy is you just run the end through your hair. The hair oil makes it slide through. I know of people that have all their nappy pins stuck in a cake of soap ready to use but Pixie would be straight into them. She knows she can't play with stuff like that and brings them to me but she might want to help change the baby's nappy instead
Oh dear.. I have this image of a little newborn with pins poking out of his little buttcheeks ><; We can't have that!

WMM, your parcel is keeping me in suspense over here!
