Sterilizing Fluid
Does anyone know where I can get hold of own brand sterilizing fluid? I have been looking for ages and have only been able to find Milton. All the usual places (supermarkets, etc) no longer seem to stock their own and Milton is just too expensive. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance. :D

Restaurant bills with friends
Somehow I end up paying the bulk of the bill when I meet with a friend at a restaurant. It's my own fault for not being assertive, but I don't want to sour the evening by 'making an issue' of the bill.

Growing Up Milk - Boots
A tip to make you a few pennies: 6 months + formula is a standard price. If you are in the Boots parenting club you get 10 points for every £1 spent on baby products.

Resusable nappies question...
I have found some good websites for reusable nappies, and won a bargain on ebay (5 new ones that retail at £15 each for 22 pounds, yay!). I'm just wondering, can you mix and match reusables? I.e. is it practical to have say 5 each of different brands, or is there a practical reason why not? Thanks so much, and sorry if its…
