WooHoo! I got here first!

howler - replied

I'm taking DS to bed now - have to be up for the race at 7am tomorrow (F1)

night

Essie - it's sunflower... halloween name... DD is 6wks (already ). hope the pumpkin stays ok, I just love it! Looking fwd to going to Italy (next year though ) and showing off my collection to friends (one converted to cloth - had baby today, so lending her my xs sandy;s before I sell them, other friend due in march and sent her lots of links...).

now, I must go or won't get any sleep.. will probably dream of "designer nappies"... might experiment with my sewing machine...

BBM - me too, though I gues we will be supporting different drivers...

rusmom - went to work out exchange rates - australian dollars - gb pounds, but was pipped to the post by fullmoon.... (her figures are absolutely spot on...)

BBM ANYONE you got any motherease wraps M that are colourful or patterned. Want some pretty wraps.
How are airflow different to rikkis??

airflows are popper and rikki is velcro

Ok, Sunflower now howler! Should I make a name too? Rusmum's at it as well! I've thought of one - PumpkinPop-in of course!

Howler if yours go white, phone the company and they will replace. It's quite a mystery really.

Essie - thanks, will do, only washed it 3 times so far so it'll be a while I guess, is it just the soaker?.

BBM what is approx resale value of prefolds???

New, in packaging
New but pre washed
and used??

Howler Love the pics, def like the Sandy's and then the Wonderoos, I really don't like the velcro at the front of the pop-in. Maia makes the Sandy's look massive just like Elizabeth!

ANYONE prefold resale value??

baby look at profile pics and tell me if thid prefold looks right????

i can't see ur profile lol

not sure bout prefold resale not many people use them imo

just got them on...
lol

theres not a yellow thing by ur name tho to get on ur profile

Just wanted you all to know i have a small business classified ad (which im unsure anyone even knows exists lol but i pay for it!!!) and am running a 10% discount for mumsnetters only for the next 48 hrs coz my dd was 6 this weekend and im feeling all nice .

i'll have a look lol

howler who were you supporting then? Do tell! I probably could guess which team.... I was not best pleased with my man's result - doubt he was either

rusmum - DS is in M atm so none to spare yet. Rikkis are aplix, airflow popper as babyjj said, but there are other differences...airflow has no gussets, has independant adjustment on legs and waist - 2 sets of poppers - it has a baggier fit to allow air to circulate, it is breatheable - the air gets in via the gap between the leg and waist poppers but you don't get leaks. Prefolds have a poor resale value - mainly due to the heavy weight (high postage) and the cheapness of them new. Used prefolds don't go for much at all for these reasons, New will go for less than RRP INCLUDING postage so if they cost £18 new and postage was £8 you'd be looking at about £6 resale value, maybe £8 on a good day example here - note extra fluffle!

HAs it worked now??

yeh prefold looks fine to me hun

rusmummy - I'm impressed with the prefold! How have you folded it? Love her little legs

That prefold looks good and snug rusmum. Are you having more success?
