Thanks for the tips everyone! We have gone straight to 'big girl knickers'. I brought about 20 pairs from Kmart (in packs of 7 for only a few $$ each), expecting to go through the majority in one day. I'm not expecting tomorrow to be as successful as it won't be such a novelty, but we will see.
I put a nappy on her for her day sleep today and one for night time. Before her day sleep she'd just done her first wee and as soon as she woke up she said 'potty' so we rushed there, took off her nappy and straight away she weed. It'll be interesting to see what she does in the morning.
I will see how she goes tomorrow and might get a few of the pull ups for going out - I don't want her to go backwards though (if she wants to continue that is).
When TT my first two kids I carried a clean up bag around with me. It contained a couple of old toweling nappies, a bottle of disinfectant, a couple of plastic shopping bags and a change of clothes. If my child had an accident, I simply wiped the wee with one towel, sprayed disinfectant, wiped dry with the second towel and moved on to deal with a change of clothes. I was once in the supermarket with my sister when my niece wee'd on the floor and it took forever to find someone to come and mop it up, but we weren't able to just walk away from it in case someone slipped in it (plus, that would feel pretty wrong, to just walk away from a wee on a supermarket floor!). So, the clean up bag meant no waiting or looking for a staff member whilst my child stands around in wet knickers.
I did try to mainly stay at home for a week or so, just the essential trips to the supermarket, school etc. and I tried to make sure I always knew where the nearest toilet was. I also encouraged a 'Squeezie Wee' before any outing - the wee you squeeze out because mum tells you to, not because you really need to go! We didn't use a potty, straight onto the toilet with a cushie tushie.
Good luck, 7 wees in one day is great. Miss P has been using the loo the last few weeks but she is an exceptionally light wetter and only wees maybe three times a day - makes it a bit trickier to catch them but they are big ones when we do and she is now telling us she wants to go to the toilet. I'm on holiday in a few weeks and intend to TT Miss P properly then... hope it's an easy process for all of us!
