by that I mean reusuable nappies, or I may do as Katy suggests and smother you all with them

gmm - how did you find out about mooncups - is that online??

mj - she's lovely, but sometimes it feels like something doesn't quite 'click' and when she's here to help me with it just feels a bit wierd. Like today she arrived at 7.30pm so that he'd be in bed Mmm... This is the 1st time she's come over. Am trying to be positive for dh'd sake!

WO - there is a sling meet up a week on thursday at a cafe in the west end.. fancy going?

Norma... will you go and find your child - take a good look at her head and remember where she came from???

Pillock - I thought that too... I am the most unhippydipy you will ever meet but I bought one about 2 months ago and its great.. honest!!! And cheaper than tampax or whatever.

PillockOfTheCommunity · 16/09/2007 21:16

find a posh coffee shop to sit her in tc

geordiemacminx · 16/09/2007 21:18

No tis in store only.... but they are guarenteed to last for 10 years... thats 5p a year....gotta be worth giving it a shot for that... top tip though - wait til dp is out before you boil it up in the pan

I'd buy a mooncup for 50p just to see what all the fuss is about, still have no use for one though - TMI I know!
Can recommend co-op's truly irresistable chocolate ice cream. It has choc sauce and brownie pieces in it - yum. DH said on first taste "It's OK", was very tempted to take it back and give him a pear instead!

PillockOfTheCommunity · 16/09/2007 21:18

Don't remind me!!!! I don't have a bucket, I don't...do I?

I do rather like my reusables sanitary towels tho...my bamboo velour ones and hemp ones that I got on Sat are soooooo comfy

It was a present but I already have one

geordiemacminx · 16/09/2007 21:20

At the end of your period you pop it in the pan of boiling water for 5 minutes. Or you could stick it in the sterliser I suppose

weeonion · 16/09/2007 21:21

nappynuttynormabutty · 16/09/2007 21:21

PillockOfTheCommunity · 16/09/2007 21:21
