i'm going to parade dd3 around in clinic next week.

took in my forms to claim £40 freom council for using cloth, and lady on the desk knew nothign about it. i juast told her to send it to the waste aware dept as they'd know all about it.

our council was giving away starter packs worth £100 and i forgot to claim mine. it was only up to 4 months old... but i just sent my form off in the vain hope that it'd be accepted and got my nappies!!!
i am so chuffed!

i am going to decorate DS's pram with nappies, and if it's hot he'll just wear his nappy and a t-shirt.

wish i liveds in your council area. was it pre-folds or what?

Can I be a part-time real nappy user? Or is this encouraging my 4 month old to be the youngest ever fashion victim? Before anyone leaps for my throat I'm being light-hearted in my observation that they do look so much cuter than disposables. Elijah was wearing just a nappy and T-shirt for most of today and, if I'd had any, I would have been tempted to put him in real nappies.

do u want to try out a couple of tots bots and ME wraps bubble? i am going to be selling my size ones soon, as prefer using size 2's.

bubble99 · 18/06/2005 21:43

I'm mystified by the offer misdee As a horribly poseur-ish potential user I have no idea how these things work. Can I get a Gucci version?

i love them... they're expensive though. but it's nice not to have to bother with separate wrap sometimes isn't it

OP posts:
misdee · 18/06/2005 21:56

they are good for days out. have been using fuzzis and womnderoos all day today as was at mieows.

the shaped and wraps hold more tho i find. and containment is better.

yeah i agree with B/F poo especially! DS is mixed fed now, and we've started weaning... so not so much leaky poo!!!

OP posts:
misdee · 18/06/2005 21:58

i put on a medium the other night as thought dd3 was big enough. poo all over my jeans and the throw on the sofa . that one is going back in the cupboard for a bit longer.
