I admit it, I didn't know it was you straight off. I am only ribbing you as you make me seem quite normal. I am seen as quite a control freak to my friends and I don't do half the things you do! what part of the country are you?

if you are serious about saving money (as on other thread) buy washable nappies (secondhand) and use washable wipes. Less to store as well.

For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
