Hi has anyone got a clue when this bin strike is going to end. Not helpful with nappies....I think i'm going to swap to real nappies..(grin). I've heard Blue Pink & Green Baby Shop in Leeds have a large selection and very helpful. Has anyone else thought about swapping due to strike and which nappies have you chosen
thanks in advance for help

Sorry, my ds is just out of nappies, so can't advise, but can sympathise - it would be a lot worse if he wasn't.
I sympathise with the binmen's cause aswell, but would still like my bins emptied now!
Headingley is a tip - loads of bins have been upended by some comedians, it looks shocking.

I have one in cloth and the other in dispos and our bin is starting to get rather nasty, inspite of DH doing a tip run last weekend. I'm thinking of putting DD back in cloth to help out since there doesn't seem to be an end to the stirke in sight.

But.....I know this isn't the place for it, but I'm a nappy advisor in Leeds and would be happy to meet with you and run through various nappies if you like

I have CAT or you could email me on daisybump at yahoo dot co dot uk.
PS this is my strictly name; usual MN name is Lackadaisycal

Another nappy advisor - store name is my username.

I have dd2 in cloth and use a variety of nappies. Recommendations would depend on your circumstances - age of child, size, drying facilities, budget, etc.

I wish the strikes would end too. Despite doing loads to reduce our waste generally, our bins are about to overflow. Doesn't help that we've had extra rubbish lately with having dd2 (present packaging, etc.) and that dh forgot to put the bin out the week before the strike .

I've seen your site before CnC, but didn't realise you were in Leeds

Nice to meet other clothies!
