Ouch jbm.....families (especially ither people's families) can be hard work sometimes.
My MIL is in the huff with me at the moment. They were on holiday the first week back at school...and I'd forgotten. She called on the Tuesday to see how DS got on his first day back, but my phone had been left off the base and was bleeping to say the battery was about to cut out, so I said it was about to cut out and I'd call her back. I was a bit short with her as it was bleeping. anyway, it wasn't till I phoned back and got no answer that I remembered they were on holiday. she hasn't called since and that was two weeks ago. I assumed they were still on holiday last week, but DH said they were only away for a week. They usu have DS on a Friday and call Wed/Thu to arrange.....but didn't last week...Oh well, what a pity, never mind.
Ria, cotton bottoms are prefolds/padfolds.....not sure about them at all...I've read mixed reviews....too small for DD anyway, but look like a bargain.
