Kizbah I have one, the Holden nappy. Also have a Munch Crunch one coming. LOVE IT!

AnnaT my boy has sparkles!! They are all 'boy' nappies too He has a blue spider, blue pea****, blue dragon, orange blimp, aurora elephant, green cow, blue cow and green tree frog. All wc bling.

No nappy news here except I spent the night in hospital with Ashton and all the nurses had to have a looksie at all his nappies that I brought (all bling and mottled itti d'lish too). He is ok, just kept on vomiting for no apparent reason. Settled this morning so I have NO idea!

[alioops]

Mel - Could the vomitting be why he isn't feeding properly?

Em wore the IF Lady bug at the library today!! They had rhyme time and our MG went to it!! She got a few looks but that could have been because of her constant tantying

Anna - You registered for postal or early vote? You won't be making it to a polling booth on the 21st!!! I think River might be here that weekend!! Have to get DH's address for postal vote stuff to be sent to him too

WOEB: Caramel dot minky CT (backwards) and soaker
WOSB: Pink liquorice allsort CT

[1MOREPLZ]

well......
i got my custom fluffy bubs...i love it!!!!!
can't wait to put it on Jacks behind!!!!
OMG that koi nappy went for $101!!!! WAYYYYY to much...

[LimeSlice]

the polling people will come through the hossey on election day...they did for the federal election, I had Charlotte then. So you dont need to register to postal or absentee vote
HTH


WOCB: a rash We just cut 2 molars at once, and now the 2 eye teeth....Would love it if she could just get one at a time!! lol

[Freya]

Ah Ali ta for reminding me! Dh needs to change his vote details too. Funny you should say that, my friend today said to me 'Oh he'll be here in the next week or two, you wont make it to 38wks and the birth centre' because Ive dropped heaps I do know that the hossy has a tub though so Im just gonna refuse to get out of it hehe cheeky arent I. Seeing Jeannine tomorrow anyway so will see if he has engaged or not. We need to do coffee next week too!

MissyMel - we have bling but for bub, a mortal kombat WC. Would be nice to see some Iish sparkles aimed at boys though, the only one's she lists are girly like flowers.

Im gonna have to give the pot o' golds a miss, DH wants to go out tonight so I wont be home lol So hyena away ladies I will try and nab one next time, atleast then I'll get a size thats definately usable for ages.

Anyone got KRudd $$ put aside for some special MCN purchases? I'll def be using some of it for some Mazalicious night nappies. Most of it will go on paying off our new double pram.

Oh and the orange postie card wasnt fluffy mail yet (Wah) it was a present for Dh from the inlaws. So Ive got three lots of fluffy mail to look forward to next week or two yay!

here's my post i tried to post at 1am this morning, but it wouldn't post, so i saved it

welcome harley's girl

willow, the amount of jargon is amazing isn't it? you don't have to be absent very long, before new ones pop up. FJ isn't posting in here as often as usual, i miss her too.

annaT - i have seen nappy auctions go to astonishing amounts, like nearly $200 for ONE nappy, but i guess there ARE people are there with bigger disposable income than me, and the auctions are usually fundraising for a worthy cause, so it's not that the actual nappy is worth that amount, it's the cause i guess. (although some of the mcn concerned, do have extraordinarily high levels of work in them - many many hours of painstaking labour, time and skill).

we are so short of trainers, i am washing and re-using same two each day very impatiently, can't wait for my fluffy mail to arrive (trainers). has anyone got a Potette?

i saw huggalugs for $10 tonight, cos all new designs have arrived (including MONKEY faces!!), $10 ones on sale included MOO PRINT, if only i could remember where i saw that sale, not an MCN shop, a baby shop.......hmmm.
chic mother and baby - that's the one!
they're listed on the MUM'S GRAPEVINE site, where the list of sites having sales is (including discount codes).

any of you melb gals know of BLUE FARM SHOES?

Limey, must email you. still got trainers for your CHarlotte.
Is it Charlotte that is Miz March in the Nappycino calendar?

Charmlea - bits for bots does fleece pockets. very low on stock, i think only one left (in sand colour).

AnnaT - like Alioops said, you don't HAVE to use snappis on prefolds. If you use a snug fitting cover, it's not needed. I put bamboo foldups (30 x 30cm) into nb covers -didn't need snappis at all.

kitten - what is this jam tots FITTED you speak of? you got me curious.

Kitten - you need more night nappies? hmmm. do you ahve my email add

Willow - whizz kidz is coming back soon, i will ask for you. i was hoping they would be back online for the Nappy Hunt madness, but doesn't look like it. how urgently do you need them? like, for right now? or later?

[Kitt3n]

kat - if i could get a nappy with astro boy or the crow logo on t i would pay $100 (crap, now that I have thought of that its quite probable that this COULD be made for me. maybe a black minkee with the NIN symbol in silver? or NO CAT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

great, now I want a NIN nappy!!!!! i wonder if i could get one with sparkles?
NO< STOP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gigi - I have 3 night nappies on order, i think that will do for now, and i have 2 lotus nights in large on the way. so for now i have 4 night nappies - i hope thsi will work with my washing regime, ifnot i might need one more, but we will see for now......... if you have something i should look at please let me know? oh and the jamtots fitted - a henp fitted, OSFM needs snappy fastener. I bought the last 3 in aussie land (unless someone else is stocling them!) they are fabulous, just fabulous. If i were to start all over i would get them and swaddlebees OSFM fitteds - no other types of fitteds!

great now all i can think about is getting a NIN nappy.

WOHB - wet pink dalmation OSFM blueberry. mummy is hallucinating that its a GF custom NIN nappy.

[Willow]

Gigi - don't need them now, they're for the new bub due late July/early Aug. You were the one who put me onto them in the first place. I loved them!

I just went through DS nappy stash and pulled out all the stuff I don't use on him for the new bub, plus the smaller stuff I haven't sold off yet (probably the first time i'm ever grateful that I'm a huge procrastinator!), plus the stuff Mel is lending me I have 18 nappies for the new bub. If I get say 5 whizz kids plus the one I already have that's 24 nappies - do you think that's enough? I wash every second day.

I know lots of you have loads more nappies than that but on a 'mcn on a budget' kinda scale do you think we'll get by with those? DS has about 10 OSFA BumGs too that I could take if i get him some more nappies. I reckon that should be plenty.

[Je$$_84]

Hello lovely ladies... Hope you doont mind me crashing in on you all... I've seen this thread numerous times but its a bit daunting... I feel like a fraud. I have been using terry flats during the day for bout 3-4 months. But would like to look into some new stuff... NaNa directed me here.

So Any suggestions. Anything special i need to know??

[Freya]

If your washing every day or second day you could get away with that many Willow.

We obviously have a ton because we have three in MCNs. I also wash everyday and can get it all dry within that time frame too.

[Arimeh]

great now all i can think about is getting a NIN nappy.

Great. Now thats all I can think about.

Thanks mate

Just had a meet up with Kerrie (lovely girl!! and her gorgeous bubba boy... soooo cute!!!) Oh, and her husband was nice too..

But yeah, thats all the goss from here!!

I'll go back to thinking of that NIN nappy...

ETA - Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Jess is joining us!!!! WOoooooOOOOOhOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[Kitt3n]

Mel I am thinking NIN logo with "nothing can stop me now" embroidered under the logo

cant have any emo crap on a bubba bum KWIM? (well not crap, just nor the right lyrics.... ah you knwo what i mean!!!)

any one fo a NIN nappy co-op?!

[Freya]

Hey Mel did you get my email?

Welcome Jess! Better ask the other more informed ladies for advice, Im a noob at this MCN stuff myself.

Are you clucking Mel after meeting Kerrie+bub

[ll80]

Welcome everyone new!

oh a NIN nappy that would be awesome. Astro boy would also be very cool.
Gosh you could do so many retro 80's cartoon themes, for all us geeks.

ETA yes to the NIN co op!!

[Arimeh]

Definitely in for a NIN co-op !! Or a type o negative one. now they rock.

OOh or the godsmack symbol. Yeah. Thats cool.

Anna - yup ... and yup.. was just going to check now.

I'd be in for the Astro boy one too. Way hot. Or Shera (sp?) princess of power!! roarrrr!!

[LimeSlice]

a NIN nappy?? Nine inch nails? lol Now whose nappy would that be? hmm....girls if you would like to have your own nappies, I think that would require a whole other thread ;P



Well it is a MASSIVELY long and complicated story, but the basics are:
More than 3/4's of my stash is still in Melbourne. At my mums flat. Under the guard of her less than pleasant ...'partner'. Along with my wedding presents, my full knife/tool kit (preventing me from returning to work) and other personal items, Charlottes christmas and birthday presents...

Anyway, due to his refusal to allow us access to the flat, or more importantly to my PERSONAL possessions, claiming that they are now part of his claim on my mothers estate, I am not allowed to get hem back until the will has passed through probabate and he decides I am allowed to get into the flat.
My lawyer tells me there is nothing I can do about this, as he has been given a new lease by the RE agent, illegally, but apparently the lease is still legal and the fact that the nappies are clearly not mums, apparently doesn't make a difference.. The police aren't even interested in helping me get them back, because it is a civil matter....well there is nothing civil about it!!

SOOOO....That is why my Sandman is deeply embroiled in a legal scandal.

Given though that half of the nappies there are sized, which will no longer fit her by the time all this is settled, same with her birthday and christmas presents, clothes etc that are Charlottes....and the fact that he is costing me income, the ****er is going to get his arse sued for the same money he is trying to steal from my mothers estate.


So that is the short version. lol. Hence why I haven't been in here much - she only has about 6 nappies now

[Kitt3n]

SHE - RA! F yeah! (oops can i say that?!)

lol

ok - i'll see if y we can get a good price for 3 NIN nappies.... too cool....

black minkee, silver logo, "nothing can stop me now" under the logo - yeah?

mel what size for you?

oh god i am excited!!!

eta LS that is BS!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont knwo what to say hun, seriously that is ridiculous :hugs:
