Where did you get your photo tent from if you don't mind me asking? I could do with improving my photos!

My husband bought his photo tent from Ebay ages ago and they come in different sizes with different coloured backdrops. You might even stumble across a couple of tutorials giving hints and tips on lighting for best results.

Hi all,

Just wondered (for all of you who make washcloth gifts) do you use baby washclothes or flannels? If washclothes are used, where is the best place to buy them. TIA.

Hi...
I use ordinary flannels for some of mine, and I buy from Primark...good quality & reasonably priced! If I'm using baby washcloths, for baby gifts, I usually buy from Poundland....

Hi ladies
I dont make nappy cakes but I love reading this thread! Just thought I would let you all know about a bargain, on halfcost they have babys 1st money boxes for £1! I got 1 a few weeks ago for a 1st bday prezzie and its massive!! Looks like it cost at least £5 imo!! They also have blue or pink kids cutlery sets 2 for £1. There is free delivery on orders £10 or over at the mo and a code that gives 5% off. HTH

Hi Gwizz1982
I use Pampers Newborn size 2 (Think ones other than newborn might be coloured but not sure) and they are white with just a coloured patterned strip at the top. Size 3 are the same too.

I use Pampers Simply Dry Size 3 and they are plain white with a patterned band at the top...great value too at £5 for 60 in Tesco right now!

Cazo1, Do you use the "Midi" Simply Dry or another one? Have just had a look and there are so many different ones. They do seem a lot cheaper than the ones I am using and thought for a while I might change to size 3 at least.

Gwizz1982, I have also tried Pampers Baby Dry size 2 (Green Pack) and they are white with a band again across the top. But, they have a definate greeny/ blue tinge to them which looks nice on blue cakes but don't like it on other colours.

Anyone who uses size 3 Nappies - do you still use 0-3 mth clothing or do you go to the 3-6 mth?

Hi Moonpenny...
yes it is midi size 3 (9-20 lbs)...I always use size 3 unless the baby is really big then I go up to size 4, and I normally use 3-6 months clothes unless the baby is really small then I use 0-3 months...
