Yes I always use half the dose, but for hard water, even half the recomended dose is quite a lot.

I just got a dora DVD for Elouise for 68p!

If you sign up to this cashback site: www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/nappyweb you will get £1 for just signing up. If you then, through the cashback site, go onto "priceMinister" site (Must go via the cashback site to get your money). They then have DVDs, books etc starting from around £5 each. So select what you want, and then at the checkout enter this code: AFFWELCOME5 to get £5 off your first purchase. So spend £5.50 and only pay 50p!

And then, once that order has been completed you will get £5 credited to your cashback account! Which you can then transfer to your bank (or paypal if you don't want to give you bank details). The cashback can take a while to show up though so I wouldn't reply on it too much, but even without the cashback its still a fantastic deal with the £5 off!

Savings can then be passed on towards buying more fluff!

Aaaaarrrggghhhhh bumble is well and truly walking now. I have even less chance of keeping up as I'm constantly righting him from him falling over, or fishing him out from behind the TV/sofa or out of the tumble drier or dishwasher

glad to hear some rashes are clearing up, but sorry to hear about ongoing poorliness for little N . I hope she is better soon. Has she seen the doctor?

Well done to your DS kmummy; there'll be no stopping him now

bumble has evil teething nappies at the minute and is red raw. DH keeps putting him in paper and I don't have the enrgey to argue. I have some sort of throat lurgy AGAIN (3rd time in five weeks ) and am sooo tired. I was up at 5 with bumble but went back to bed at 9.30 and slept until middday. I think I need to go and see the doc.

I have (I hope) lanolized the wool soakers I knitted...fingers crossed it has worked!

I use a boden coffee scoop of powder in my nappies, and half the recommended amount when washing clothes and I still get too many soapy suds...fairy just wasn't rinsing out of our clothes so we have swapped to bold 2-in-1..so far so good, but I hope bumble's rash is just teeth and not the change in powder

Been online Crimbo shopping and panicking that I have been fair and even handed with the DC and that they have all that they want, but that it isn't so much that it totally outfaces/overwhelms them

right, bedtime; if I'm lucky I'll get six hours before he wakes

Have any nappy sellers considered stocking the Itti bitti boo nappy? I would love to try one.

Morning! - just a quick one!

Mumface - I'd love to have them! but we cant get them at all. Spoke to Sue from Itti about it at the babyshow and via email since. They won't deal with UK stockists directly from Australia so we have to go through the Uk distributor. Unfortunatly they are not planning on adding more to the range yet. Twinkle though as the first company to bring ittis to the Uk are the one and only directly stocked company so they may pop up there at some point down the line!

mumface · 07/12/2009 11:40

Thanks Babybots, might send a request to twinkle then. Have you got ebay Itti's yet? my postie just been, only got a cake slice in the post (my 1p purchase and they put a free pizza wheel in too, I love Amazon)

JennyPennyNAPPYWEB · 07/12/2009 11:53

no fluff for me either! Waiting on longies from twinkle and my 68p dora DVD

4CALLINGBIRDSandnotout · 07/12/2009 12:49

No fluff for me either, a cape for dd3 and some bills

Having a really crap day today.

50ftChristmasTree · 07/12/2009 13:29

I've not had my eBay Ittis but I have had positive feedback from IttiBittiuk. They are marked as dispatched so I am hopeful that tomorrow will be the day.........

Babybots · 07/12/2009 13:37

Right im finally here now, had a Customer here this morning so been a bit busy.

No mumface no ittis here either - getting a bit fed up now, i wouldn't expect my customers to wait this long! Still sulking!!! i wanted time to try them properly before my stock arrived too. Grrrr.

Rachel - looked at your little ones rash for the first time yesturday, looks like one my son had when i added oils to the wash - i assumed it was allergic reaction so stopped. Also he got a bit when i swapped to bold it did calm down as he got used to it.

I use a milk scoop sometimes 2 of powder in our nappies never had build up at all but i do a rince after and strip now and again just incase.

Babybots · 07/12/2009 13:44

Ooooo i have feed back too - maybe tomorrow then!

JennyPennyNAPPYWEB · 07/12/2009 13:56

Am gutted my longies didn't arrive today as DH will kill me if he sees them arrive as we are VERY skint but he won't notice them if he doesn't see them arrive.

I don't know what to do about my preloved nappies I just need to sell them but just keep looking at them not knowing where to start . Maybe I will list on MN tonight with no pics and just do pics if people ask for them. But they always do and thats what drives me mad, I don't know why, its just one of those things I hate doing! lol.

mumface · 07/12/2009 13:56

Yep got feedback early this morning, so probably only just sent- I didn't realise you got feedback as a buyer! I just gave Connor some baby porridge today (he's 6mths in a week) He spat most of it out of course but it's always exciting when you first see their face!

mumface · 07/12/2009 13:57

Jenny-what colour are your Itti AIO's?

JennyPennyNAPPYWEB · 07/12/2009 14:10

Pinks I am afraid!

I can't seem to part with my girly UD fitteds I LOVE them but only ever use micros with wool or pockets so they hardly ever get used They are all £10+ per nappy so can't really afford to keep them. Maybe I will see what I get for the boys ones and then decide

DH is still quite confused about his bio father and his half sister getting in touch. His sister wants to speak to him 20 times a day but she seems quite sweet and a bit lonely. But his Dad sent him one message about getting in touch and then didn't even bother replying to Dhs reply. He is so out of order walking in and out of his life (he did it once before and never had more than one phone conversation before he lost interest.

4CALLINGBIRDSandnotout · 07/12/2009 14:21

I dread dd1's bio father trying to contact her, my own biofather tried to strike up a conversation one new years eve in a pub i presumed he was trying to pick me up so told him to get stuffed, it wasnt until i had dd1 that my mu told me whjo it had been.

mumface · 07/12/2009 14:26

It's official you can put a boy in pink Itti Bitti! According to the report re Ed Miliband in London evening standard. They are a metrosexual nappy and you can put a boy in a shocking pink one. I just sold my pink mediums!

JennyPennyNAPPYWEB · 07/12/2009 15:55

See the thing is, DHs mum seems to want them to be in touch. But I think its because she absolutly hates the fact that we are close to his "Dad" who is her ex BF who he called Dad as a child and considers him as his Dad rather than his Bio Father. She hates him so would rather he was in contact with his real dad. But realistically he would never loose contact with his Dad that he sees now, we are closer to them than we are to his Mum (which is why she hates it so much I think!). But his Mum is a fruitcake Shouldn't really put this on a public forum with my name and website in my username! Lol. Oh well.

treedelivery · 07/12/2009 16:04

Everone has d&v here, so am up to my ears in it. Nice!!

JennyPennyNAPPYWEB · 07/12/2009 16:28

Mumface - are you interested in pink ittis then? Or is that not what you meant? Sorry I am not with it at all today!

JennyPennyNAPPYWEB · 07/12/2009 16:41

for you tree. Hope you get better soon.

mumface · 07/12/2009 16:43

will fb you jenny

JABULA · 07/12/2009 22:21

Hi all

Been having bit of a traumatic time with what we thought was either flu or teething, but the amount of gunk that came out of LO's ear tonight, I think she's had an ear infection. She's much better today Will take her to docs tomorrow to have a look to check her ear is ok, but she seems fine.

No ebay Ittis here yet either - I expect my wholesale ones might reach me before my own ones

I've been nagging both Itti and the distributor about Bitti Boos too, but not able to get them over here yet. Hopefully soon.

Octohohohoho · 08/12/2009 00:54

Hello - have been awol for a bit - super busy with work and children.

Sorry to hear folk have poorly little ones and hope Jenny's dh gets to grips with his new found family.

Don't know about the boo's either.

Minor incident today - a wet bag box fell to pieces and 10 ended up in a muddy patch - have sold them off cheaply on CNT - kmummy has grabbed one Much easier than claiming on insurance. Have double checked all the others and they seem fine.

Snugglepants and Pumpkin Pants all in post from US - shouldn't be much longer.

Likely to be teaching today (tomorrow!) and also weds - ds2 nativity weds pm, out thursday with friends, toddler christmas do friday, dinner party/football saturday .... and breathe ...

swampster · 08/12/2009 08:28

Octo!!! I would have had a muddy wetbag to prob!
