I have not reaed back so you might know this but I have just bought 2 boxes of nappies from Tesco for 18.00.

I bought 1 box of size 3 for the cake I am doing and there were 102 nappies in the box. The 2nd box I got for my LO.

But still for 18.00 you could get 204 nappies which I thought was good

Asda also have there own wide neck bottles (2 pk) on 3 for £5 Also for those of you that make wedding/engagement towel cakes plumbworld have got bales of white or cream for only £4.97!!!

I'm sure I have seen it posted somewhere but I've done a search and can't find it - could someone please help me with the washcloth lollipops. I have seen some cheap washcloths (6 for a pound) and want to have a go at making them but when I stand in the shop and fold and roll washcloths they always seem to look quite chunky and big. Can someone maybe post a photo of a side view of a lollipop so I can see if i'm doing it right!!!!! It should be so easy but i can't get it to look right!! is there a special way to roll them? I sound really dumb lol!!

Finally got round to making the nappy cake for my sister's friend. Used 50 nappies !!!! Can't believe I managed to fit all the contents inside, it's well heavy.

I really don't think you need to change a single thing, they are really stunning.

Hi there, I found them at Lancaster Leisure Park in their factory outlet shop. They had packs of 6 which were 3 white with 3 pink, blue or green washcloths in each pack. Only a quid but i can't figure out how to make them look good! I would offer to get you some and send them to you but i'm guessing the postage would not make it worthwhile in the end. They had the hooded towels reduced as well - i think they were 2 or 3 quid each. The only place i've really seen nice burpcloths at a reasonable price is Matalan. Hope that helps some!
