Morning girls!

My OH is having a lie-in, and Olivia is asleep on my shoulder so I'm sneaking on because I've got itchy 'checkout now' fingers this morning! Doesn't help that I watched the tour of the BB offices on facebook last night befoe bed....I dreamt of raiding their shelves of all that fluff! I keep telling myself that fluff is an investment because you can get loads of your money back fir selling it on...and also if i buy now then Olivia will get tonnes of use out of it!!

Donna - I'm so so sorry to hear about your OH being unwell You are really going through it at the mo aren't you hun?? Hope Mr H is ok too I am also a huge fan of the naughty baby nappies, and all other ebay cheapies! The inserts are fab Also a big LOL at your GP knowing his bum fluff!!

Sammy - Good evening!!! Having the flu with a bump on board must be no fun! Some more bum fluff sounds like it might be the best medicine for you!!

Sara - I'm def going to order the lavender and sage BB today, and also the pink with choc spots that I chickened out of buying a few weeks ago. I will just have to wait for the new prints! I have the cow print and I adore it so much!

Where is everyone getting their BBs from at the moment? Is £18.99 about the cheapest?

Love Laura xxx

Thankyou hun that means alot to hear, well jon is off for a bone marrow biobsy/sample next week as his bloods have come back irregular and they are suspecting acute myeloid leukaemia they were thinking it was sickle cell but after talking to the specialists they are sure it is the worst of the two, i will probably take you up on the offer to chat hun as i don't want to be moaning on about it here as this is for cute fluffy bums and not all the c**p i have going on, he has just nipped up to his sisters so i am sat here an emotional wreck, i can't lose him i won't lose him damn bloody leaking eyes again, off to look all pretty for when he gets in so will be back later

Sh*t Donna thats a horrid thing to deal with!

Thanks Sara, trying to rest but i just cant get comfortable.. i felt kinda sorry for myself until i read Donna's post that kinda puts things in perspective...

Am getting myself a glass of water as we speak (or post rather) !

Hiya Laura, nope no fun at all, not able to take anything helpfull and being uncomfertable as it is with a bump that gets shook up everytime i sneeze (poor Cole!!!) ..

I had a cold about 5 weeks ago because of our house guests and it lasted about 1,5 weeks!!!! I am just hoping this will pass within a couple of days...

Seeing i got those 2 nappy's yesterday i think bumfluff might be out of the question , on th egood side i was checking out the fluff gallery and hubby saw the babylegs (specially the black crossbone ones!) and admitted they were cute and not gay and i could get some too

 

[thelilbump]

Donna - sorry to hear about Jon. If you want anythin, even just a whinge, you know where i am

Sam - sorry you are poorly, get your feet up and rest, drink plenty

 

[thelilbump]

Laura - £18.99 is the cheapest i've seen BB's but there was a guy on ebay selling them brand new for £15 auction/ £20 buy it now. I just checked he has any listed at min but i'll keep a eye on it.

Thanks hun...I'll keep an eye out for him on Ebay! I feel like I could justify more BBs if they were more like £15....but £40 for two nappies just seems so expensive for saying I can get an ebay cheapy for £3.99 which does just as good a job! I just love the fabric of the BBs so so so much

they are irresistable arent they!!!!

Cloth bum newbie here What do you girls use for wipes out and about?

Hi Faerie! Nice to see you in here! Hope you're well? We dont use washable wipes full stop. Now that Laylas on solids its just too messy.. I fugured Im doing my bit by using washable nappies, but wipes is a bit much effort for me lol! I hope someone else has some better answers!! How are you and Sofia getting on with the nappies? Which ones do you use?

[saraendepity]

Hi girlie!!!!

OMG THIS IS WEIRD!! my little girl is in bed and i am not!!! this is the first time we have put her to bed before us and its the weirdest thing EVER!!

:wave:welcome faerie!!! how are you doing hun? welcome to the section !

i personally use re usable wipes cotton on one side and (i think) a brushed cotton on the other side, i got mine from weenotions they are gorgeous and will definately be ordering some more!!! i've also got some Bum Genius wipes i bought from mothercare which i use for in the house as they are not as pretty i make my own wipe solution for them -

Rough measurements -
1 cup of water (of cooled chamomile tea which is great for bum rash!)
around a table spoon of oil (i use olive oil)
a squirt of baby wash/bath
couple of drops of tea tree oil / lavendar oil or both if you fancy!!!

hope this helps hunni!!

hannah - i got both of my minki's from a rather well known 'tree' pre loved (one had never been used!) and i just use whatever inserts i hapen to fancy - usually a combination of fuzzi inserts/mothercare smart nappy/BB/e bay cheapy
soooooooo pleased to hear finnlay is feeling better today!!

Ladies thankyou for your kind words you really are bloody amazing each and every one of you xx

Well onto the cloth front i am now even more super impressed with my cool babies as Jack is still in cloth at night and tonight i wnt to put him in one i made big enough for him as he is a big boy around the waist but no he wanted harleys green one on and refused to have any other on and i was shocked it fitted him, on the last popper but it still fitted him, so jon says that in 2 1/2 weeks i can order some more of the ebay cheepies, if anyone is getting rid of any then give me a shout as i prefer pre loved.

Faerie hi hun i just use a huggies reusable box it's little and red i forget where i got it from but i soak my wipes and then pop them in there if going out.

Hannah i'm glad lo is better hun i got the baby legs thankyou i will post pics of him in them when i get time xx

Sara how is lil lady? I thought of you earlier as there are some girls bg's but the v2 or what ever they are called and they are at 99p up in around 22 hours, god i am naughty everytime i see cloth i think of one of you depending on the type of nappy lol. xx
