General chat for cloth nappy users: Part 14 - The one where the house is so full of nappies there's nowhere to put the children

[mumface]

Jump over here!

Jenny, how is DD today? Did you and she manage to sleep last night?

ooooh, a preloved section is a fab idea for getting rid of surplus fluff!!

what mac did you get mumface? I have a chicco for the car and I HATE it with a passion so want to trade up to a baby jogger city mini.....need to be able to push one handed whilst holding DD's hand.

I got a Maclaren quest mod in black/pea green. I had one years ago & loved it. It got accidently broken by ex folding it & I have always wanted another. I will also need to hold Lewis's hand when Connor is in it, but it is quite light so think I can still steer it ok.

Hello all - busy day - dh is away - so juggling 3 boys through dinner and into bed.

Myjob - BG in post More patches arrived today - still can't get my camera to work! Waiting for more ouch pouches and the bags will be in next week so busy busy bee here! I have called the wipes sets - cheeky monkey's

Octo - Just make sure they don't get confused with the cheeky wipes sets!

Talia is more poorly today, she has such a sore throat, can't even cry properly .

aw poor DD Jenny

Its meant to draw on their marketing lol!

She has at least started sleeping again. Slept last night well, kept waking up but went back to sleep with a dummy (which she doesnt usually have).

Have used my bamboo sandys today and have to say, I am impressed with the absorbancy.

Do any of you know, whats more absorbant, a LP micro or a LP softee?

Softee is more absorbent

Hope Talia gets better soon

I think the softee, but I prefer the micro. We use it with a breathable layer and wee condenses off really quickly. If you are using a pul layer I think the softee would be more absorbant.

I'd quite like a cream or pale pink Itti Jenny - though she wont be in med much longer.

Hope Talia feels better soon.

OMG I have just had the best idea tree!!

Eh??

Can I have commission?

Have emailed you - you can road test it!

dh is away - bored!

Im here too Dh is also away!!!

I really should go to bed! I can't go to the BPA event tomorrow as my mum can't look after the boys now - gutted Really wanted to go! Will save me lots of money tho!

Oh no Octo! Thats a shame! Im in bed with lappy and wine!

WIne in bed lol lol

Yeah needs finishing! lol

I'm off to bed now - hot choc for me though!

Lol. I am about to take lap top up to bed too. Hubby here tonight but doing night shift tomorrow.

I did have a softee before, sold it to natty but it was very different to the one in my lollipop kit?

I think I am going to buy a LP micro set and then decide how much of it to keep and how much to sell on.

I think older ones were really shaggy fabric, the newer ones a tighter 'snowball' effect. Well, I got 2 new ones at the babyshow last year and then 2 preloved and I found that.

Laptop and lemon tart in bed for me

Which ones did you prefer? I didn't really like the one I had but TBH I think I only used it once (was preloved) and then passed it on to natty, who did say it needed striping so that might have been why. Just wondering if I should give softees another go or just buy some micros. I just want some quick drying nappies really as because mine are both heavy wetters (although not as bad as they were) I have all super absorbant nappies that take days to dry inside and I think it is going to really bug me over the winter. I am happy to add an EP hemp to the micros, which is what I do with my size 1s (outside the nappy) although if you are saying the best bit is them evaporating the wee then maybe I would be better not to boost? We use fleece or wool most of the time, sometimes PUL in the day.
