In short:-
1. Cost, and you can actually get them even cheaper than I did, I borrowed some and bought some new ones, if you are lucky you can get them on freecycle or borrow them all etc. Cost goes down if you use them on more babies (some of my borrowed ones been used on 3 babies so far and likely more will use them!). Terry squares are the cheapest I think but I used shaped nappies.
2. Reduced environmental impact (yes you have to wash them but there is no nasty chemicals left to rot in a landfill!).
Disposables have a distinctive smell which real nappies don't, and they also look pretty cute . I use real nappies all the time now, except on holiday as impractical, and sometimes real wipes too. Real nappies are not as much work as people often make them out to be, this said it is completely mum and dad's choice to use them or not!
Ok, hth. Better get moving now!

Thank you Orkneystar, thats very helpful. Interesting, one of my friends who is very well off, choose them purely on environmental reasons. I think when she bought them, they had just come out, so were quite expensive?

I used reusables with my second child (didn't think about it first time) but haven't so much this time as DD2 gets very sore very quickly Although when it gets to spring and I'm not using the fires I'll probably go back to them. At the moment we put all the used nappies in the fire.

Well I've done WM x 1, TD x 1 and cleared my computer cupboard out in my HHC. Only thing is I've now decided I need 2 people to plug the new monitor in - after I'd shut the computer down - so I can't put anything back until DH comes in!

GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DD3 switched off the lap top while I was photographing my washing pile! I'd done a really long reply to everyone as well!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Bloomin eck!!!! aaarrrggggg!!!



Hiya Toots my lovely friend. :wave: Yes, I did get 'em sorted in the end!!! Many many phone calls later.... but yes, They've just delivered the new WM!!! Bloomin good job, as this is the washing to be done! They weren't going to deliver till next Wednesday!!!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: Can you imagine how much washing I'd have by then!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:



Bags of washing in the bath



Washing basket as well!!!!

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:



So, given that I've lost my replies.... I think it went like this...

Hi All :hello:

Welcome Therecan and any other noobs and a special HI to any lurkers :wave:

Welcome back Triker sorry to hear about your flying phobia. I hear hypnosis is supposed to be really good for that. Good luck if you pursue it.

Valli Bad bad bad girl off walking without being properly prepared! Don't do it again, and consider yourself told!!!!!

Frodders healing vibes sent for girlie in your class, I do hope you hear good news tomorrow.


And I can't remember what else :rolleyes: Hope everyone's ok today. I'm off to climb Mt Washmore, once DH has plumbed new WM in!!!!

Also got lovely rellies coming over in a bit. I've made a huge pot of Veggie Chilli in the slowcooker, so that'll save a fortune, we usually end up having takeout when they come. Not good for the budget.... did I mention the budget BTW????

SarahShattered

Knew I'd missed something!!!!!

Out of personal interest...those who use reusable nappies are there any brands that you would either recommend (or not!)?

It's something that both OH and I want to do when the frugal teeny arrives (due date 1 week!!) but we don't know many people that use them so haven't managed many personal recommendations!

On a flying note...

I have emptied dishwasher (a big achievement for me as I normally let it sit there til we need to refill it!)
TD is on with the spare room bedding in it
Wiped over front of kitchen units
Cleaned hob
Cleaned the oven (yuck - I hate doing that!)
Half emptied the cupboard under the sink. (We have more carrier bags than Asda do at the moment I think! I shall be taking a few trips over there to put them in their collection bins) I now have to go get the OH before I do myself a mischief trying to reach the stuff at the back of the cupboard!!
