David Cameron on whether The Thick of It accurately represents the Conservative publicity machine: "I love The Thick of It. V funny... but only true about the other lot (not)."

Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

Not terribly impressed with these. The velcro straps at the front of the wrap are very harsh on young babies' skin - both of mine ended up with angry rub marks on their bellies. The nappies leak like crazy unless changed every hour or so, and the wraps can't be machine washed at more than 40 degrees (which really doesn't remove poo stains). My mother-in-law kindly paid for the laundry service, which was brilliant of her, but I don't think it was great value for money; you pay the same whether you use 40 nappies or 4 (ie, you have to pay even when you don't have any dirty nappies at all, say if you've been away). They're unusable at night, although to be fair I think this applies to all reusables. All in all, a bit rubbish! I've heard good things about Motherease, though...

I found these nappies easy to use when my baby was newborn, however when he started weaning they seemed to leak a lot more. I did find them quite difficult to clean and they stain easily.

I have been using Cotton Bottoms since the birth of my daughter 2 months ageo. I have found them brilliant. The only comment I have is that as they are large, as I think alot of reusable nappies, vests and babygrows seem a little short in lenght as they do not compensate fro the extra room needed.

I purchased the birth to potty pack when it was on offer so was a lot cheaper, i think buying all the different sizes separately would work out quite expensive.

I find the nappies easier than i ever thought they would be. They are really easy to wash and dry and the wraps are practically dry when they come out of the machine. My daughter has never had nappy rash.
