Thought I'd start a thread about it to see if it would work! Sign up here if you'd be interested.

(Copied from my post on the other thread) The idea could be that we could choose a colour each like one of us will be orange, another red, another yellow, and even non rainbow colours like hot pink, black, brown, and shades like lime green and bottle green, then all buy a bulk of whichever item - socks, bodysuits, babygrows, muslins, vests... just plain white, inexpensive, simple ones then post them out 1 to everyone who wants to take part. There's a finite number of colours so we'd have to work out numbers but say we have 15 who want to take part, we could split that into 3 groups of 5 so like 3 red ladies, 3 blue, 3 green, 3 yellow, 3 purple, then of those 3, 1 who has like 15 pairs of socks, 1 has 15 bodysuits, 1 has 15 vests... Then we post out 14 items to everyone else and we all end up with 15 multicoloured items. Would that work? Places like supermarkets and Primark have packs of 3 or 5 plain white items cheap, I think I saw 3 packs in Tesco for like 3. The more who sign up the more colours or items we could have, if we get enough then there could be 2 smaller groups instead of 1 large one so we're not buying and posting 50 items!!

I quite fancy doing long sleeve bodysuits in orange. Grin

mine are a tad wrinkled. I'll iron them if I get a chance amongst going to dps parents :p

PopcornFrenzy · 25/07/2014 21:47

I've had a major cock up with mine, I went to dig the mussys out today to start dying them and my DP put in the bag that went for recycling! So I have to get some more but have no money until 31st so will get them and post!

MrsDowneyJunior · 26/07/2014 11:30

Oh no popcorn! How annoying! I got some cheap ones on Amazon, cheapest I've found.

PosyFossilsShoes · 26/07/2014 11:41

Mine are in the washing machine now!

weeonion · 26/07/2014 14:57

Hi folks. Still in on it. Heading on hols on Monday but pm me yr address and will get them sent!!

ladydolly · 27/07/2014 10:36

Hey team rainbow! I kind of dropped out when the group moved onto socks and muslins (I've got loads of multi-coloured mussys and plan to dress almost exclusively in babygros for the first 6 months) I still can't really tell what was decided, maybe because I'm not in the fb group. So if you're left out of pocket then I'll come back but if not then I'll stay backed out. Xx

Alita7 · 27/07/2014 16:38

Oh no popcorn!
Lady I think we started with muslins and then had a brain storm about other options. We've not really discussed It on fb except when looking for whose doing it as only 3 or 4 of us on fb are doing it so you're up to date with what's going on :)

Pm addresses and whether or not you're doing vests, as posy and Mrs dj were lovely and gave me vests anyway so ill get a couple in the tescos sale and dye a few more bits.

PosyFossilsShoes · 27/07/2014 19:58

You don't need to Alita, the vests only came in multipacks and I really can't use that many purple vests so as we're down to less than 8 people everyone gets one from me regardless of if they're doing them or not.

Alita7 · 27/07/2014 20:56

I don't mind! I might see if anyone else drops out and then do a different colour or just get some more white things in different sizes to make use of another pack of dye as I'm sure dp would be happy for more army green things :p

MrsDowneyJunior · 29/07/2014 07:31

Any more addresses from anyone? I'm posting today so would be good to send everything in 1 go. Smile

PopcornFrenzy · 29/07/2014 07:59
