Thanks Gigi, I thought GK and BG were the same for the stay dry. Noah is all good with that thank goodness, it would be a blow if it wasn't, the nappies are so expensive. So which of those materials you mentioned keep bubs bum dry, oh and is soft.

Fiona, does your DH like co-sleeping? Can you get him to have a chat with my DP? Juz hates co-sleeping. I just feel so much safer and happier with everyone together. That and there is nothing like having your little ones arms around your neck and being nose to nose all night listening to their snores. Good luck with the move!

Well my sewing machine decided it didn't want to work anymore, I have 2 finished bags 4 with the bottoms open and 2 ready to get started so this nappy venture looks a little way off unless I can figure out what the problem is.

For starters, it is Homemaker brand The tension knob does not work the thread keeps coming off the loop bit that goes up and down which means constant rethreading about every 10 mins, all of that was fine and I was coping with it but now the bobbin thread gets loopy and bunchy on the bottom and it is like it is not being caught by the needle every time. In the whole 2 years I have had the machine I have never properly cleaned or oiled it so I will do that today. I changed the needle so that isn't the problem. Thankfully for Freecycle I have a sewing machine coming my way in the near future and then I might be able to send this one off for repairs to keep it as my backup. I am actually thinking of getting the Brother Innovis 900 in a few months time.

Anyway, time to shower and go on the great big orange pumpkin hunt before I tackle my sewing machine
