Mother of all conception months Graduates

He's more concerned with the poop factor, lol! I keep saying the money we'll save will be huge compared with disposables. I suppose I'll go get some figures tomorrow to convince him. Plus you get a £75 sample pack for £15

 

[molly85]

its worth a look. I run washing machines into the ground so matt has banned me, sorry environment

 

[molly85]

ooohhh sample pack we like them

 

[PeanutBean]

Is the sample pack from the group? That's bloody good! Wish we had that. The poo is no different to in a disposable, you can use a liner or just shake it into the toilet. Seriously poo will go in the machine loads once you have a baby. They have an uncanny knack of getting it all up their backs especially when you are first able to sit them up. Then there's all the vomit. And nappy leaks out the legs. It happens no matter what nappy you use, they are just gross crapping machines! Lol

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Yeah, you get a sample pack from attending! It's a special offer. Check with your council area, Peanut and see if they have a program

I think it's that he has to do extra work with cloth i.e. putting the poo in the toilet who knows?

 

[PeanutBean]

Nah our council is crap. We get £25 if we spend more than £50 (or course that works out only about 10% of an average nappy spend). Going to see if I can wangle another cheque now we've bought some more but suspect it will be one time only.

Hopefully tomorrow will show him. I love real nappies and DH dies too, though perhaps a little less than me!

 

[molly85]

lol not that we are doing it but you can just scoop into a biodegradable nappy bag and bin it not as nice on the environment but a half way house.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

This offer is done by the neighboring council that does presentations in our area. Check out a neighboring council and see if they do the same

 

[molly85]

ours does a trial scheme and possibly help to buy them but matt is very sure its a no. we recycle lots so won't feel really bad on it and i would insist on boil washing them so that would add to the old carbon foot print

 

[PeanutBean]

Still less energy overall on a boil though 60 is sufficient anyway. You could use biodegradable nappies, that's a happy compromise and what we did for two months while we chose cloth nappies.

 

[molly85]

well we have some already but might look at them. I'm not picky on branding but not happy on weekly bin collections you get to comfy just shoving stuff in. we recycle and have garden collection in a huge weelie bin

 

[PeanutBean]

Morning. I feel really really sick. Hope toast helps and I don't just throw it up.

 

[gilz82]

Morning Peanut and girls

Is your head still sore from your migraine?

I've started getting morning nausea back these past few days it's very bizarre, i spent the whole journey to work trying to work out where i could stop if i really needed to be sick. Now i feel ok again, strange eh

Can't be faffed with work today and have sooo much to do, suppose i should be doing it just now rather than posting on bnb

 

[PeanutBean]

My head's so-so. Thanks for asking Gilz. Feeling kind of off all round. A few people we saw yesterday at the party have had d&v recently so very much hoping it's not the start of that. It does feel a lot like early preg though and I've been ok sickness wise over the weekend so maybe just that. Missing my laptop! Working on some coursework on my phone so at least I can do something. I'm all overheated. Bit weird...

Gilz you should always put Bnb before work if you can! Lol

 

[madcatwoman]

Morning girls!

I cant believe some of you are still (starting again) to feel so sick, i just dont know how id cope with that.

Im sat here with baby b bouncing around in me, i feel like im still in awe of yesterday, i feel like im still trying to absorb the fact that this cute little fella is in my tummy, it seems hard to believe for some reason. I have a £5 voucher for jessops so im going to print the best ones off this morning and start a little album off.

Im managed to sleep till 5.15am today before needing the loo and aching!

 

[gilz82]

How wrong is it that we now consider getting to 5:15am a decent time to get up

I really would love to see our little monkey again after seeing Madly's and your pictures this weekend Madcat. It is so amazing to see their proper little face not just the usual fuzzy grey ultrasound pictures.

ha ha i know, i looked at the clock and though "well this is better than 3am or 4am!", i proped myself up in bed with about 5 pillows and just dozed on and off then!. we're being prepared for the nighfeeds i think!!.

Do you think you'll be able to afford a 4D scan? (i was so chuffed when they knocked £40 off ours!). i know £150 odd is alot to find, esp when we need equiptment, but now, after having this i just feel like i couldnt even put a price on it now!

 

[gilz82]

Yeah we could afford one, my birthday is the begining of march so i know i could get the money for a scan from that. The problem is that when we had the gender scan the lady turned on the 3d so we could get a peek, obviously cos they are trying to sell you another scan, and you could only see the teeniest sliver of the babies left cheek and eye because of my silly anterior placenta. At the time the radiographer said that chances are that it'll never move enough for us to be able to see him properly, especially with him still being breech position too.

I don't know what would happen if we booked one and then couldn't see anything, i seriously doubt they'd give us the money back.

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

afternoon ladies! sooooooooo dont want to go to work tonight, dh woke ds and me 2.5 hours before we normally get up so i am no wmoody and knackard grrrr

this appears to be touch wood the third day in a row where i havent been sick and havent really wanted to be apart from when getting a whiff of ds poo poo and rotting bin bag but hey they were never really favourite smells of mine lol

i heard that it is because the placenta starts taking over some of the work your body is doing which is very cool if it is! rewally hope it is it, the burst blood vessels in my face are starting to fade now so starting to look less like a freak and everything!!!!

so want a steak and stilton pie was all up for buying one until i realised STILTON nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! grrrr

i am going to try and save £10 a week - i get paid weekly - so i wont miss it too much perhaps try and reduce my shopping bill a bit to make up for it or something and hopefully i wont have to work extra shifts to afford the scan! gives me . . .what 16 weeks if we get it done at 25 weeks?

hmmmmm xkx

 

[PeanutBean]

Surely Stilton is fine cooked in a pie? If it's not been heated enough to cook the Stilton I'd be more worried about the steak!
