I think i've found the answer to my "how will I dry nappies in this tiny flat with no tumble dryer or garden" problem....

Cool! It has good reviews too.

 

[princessellie]

ooh that looks good, i can get a dryer for £50 though so would be cheaper, although that would be much cheaper to run, hmmm...how would you dry knickers and socks though, and how would you actually hang the nappies up on there?

[Jetters]

You hang things up on hangers, or these things https://www.housewaresandbeyond.com...tmor-6171844-Clip-and-Dry-Hanger-26-Clips.jpg inside it xx

JML make me laugh a bit, they have such crazy yet useful inventions! It's tomorrow Jetterrrrs! Am genuinely excited! I'm going to guess at boy! (ps, I'm always wrong! )

 

[Jetters]

I really, really am convinced it's a boy and have no idea why!! Although, FOB is equally as convinced it's a girl...

Luckily I literally do not care at ALL either way! Phew!

Ooooh so exciting Jetters!
By the way, I can't remember where but I was looking into heated airers at one point (when we had a flat with stooooopidly high ceilings, now we're in a terraced house it stays warmer which is good!) and this one was highly recommended for being space saving and cheap to run:

And now I've been looking at the Lakeland website (unwise, always unwise) I've seen this: https://www.lakeland.co.uk/F/product/22169 - do people reckon this would work for nappies? I've been meaning to get something similar but like the quick release idea...it could rain nappies hahaha!

I need opinions or advice, nothing depressing though

At what age do you think it's okay to use non toxic paint to do hand and footprint pictures?? I really want to do some prints of Cassidys but don't want to if it will harm her in any way!

So opinions ladies, do you do this with your babies and do you think I should?

 

[anothersquish]

If its non toxic then go for it

 

[lfernie]

I done hand and footprints of Ryan when he was abot a month old! I didn't hink abot waiting x

 

[Bekkiboo]

^^ I'm just a paranoid ninny x x

 

[lfernie]

I was on my fone earlier, spelling's so bad!

 

[Bekkiboo]

I didn't notice until you mentioned it

I'm just about to crack open the paints now, was going to do it a while ago but I prepared her bath and ending until dropping the contents on my living room floor took me aaaaages to mop up

Yeah Bekki, we have done loads of painting with Freya, always found handprints hard as she likes to squish the paint in her hand and not open it, lol, but got looooads of footprints! We started when she was really little. (I also did a bum print )

I'm just going to bite the bullet and do it..... will take pictures of her finished masterpiece!! xx

 

[Monkeh]

I tried to do hand and foot prints yesterday with Dexter. Footprints are definitely easier. Dexter was mushing the paint in his hand, and then mushing the paper too

 

[Bekkiboo]

Yep she kept grabbing the paper and trying to eat it Managed to get one work of art though, will upload a piccy later!! xx
