Cheapskate

With my eldest (22) I used diposables for the first few weesk as he was small, then used terry nappies until he was about 18 months - disposables were quite expensive & not as good as they are now. You used flushable nappy liners that went into the loo, along with any solids (sorry!), then soaked them in cold water with something added to it; used to fill bucket through day then wash them all at night or first thing in the morning. Sounds quite a job but wasn't really, & old lady across the road said she liked to see a line of bright, white nappies blowing!?
I understand the green argument, but does it stack up price-wise over the couple of years or so that a child's in nappies? If it does, then it might be worth it, could spend HiPG money on something useful, assuming it comes in time! :rolleyes:

glam ive been saving about £10 a week for bubs for when im on ML should have about £300-£400 by the time hes here x
edit: sorry thats including HIPG x

I've been trying to do overtime to save around £300 each month but I think it's wishful thinking! Forgot about HiPG - not included that!!!

Just remembered 4 weeks leave on top PLUS accrued bank hols PLUS holiday entitlement for next year!!

Woohoo at this rate I could be off for a year :j

Woman I know who uses them flushes no.2's straight down the toilet in the flushable liner, which does sound better than them sitting for 2 weeks in our landfill bin which is one reason why I considered them. She washes then every other day in standard washing powder, no soaking.

Also £99 for 3 years worth seemed quite good.

I'm sure it's been mentioned already, but Asda baby event is supposed to be starting tomorrow:

(I know it says 28th, but the ASDA magazine states it starts on the 25th instead HERE) I will probably be going to Asda first thing tomorrow anyway, so will let you ladies know if it's on yet or not!
