    Lol Bruno... It's the other way round in this house... My washing machine broke last year and blew the fuse... I asked Hubby to go and flip the switch, the fuse box is in the coat cupboard... Cue him staring aimlessly round himself... I just walked around him and flicked it myself...

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Wonderfully! The disposable liners seem kind of pointless though because she's not pooping anything solid so they just end up stuck to her. We'll figure it out though :)
    We use fleecey liners, they're lovely, look more like fake fur than fleece lol... I've got more nappies than liners at the moment, keep meaning to make some of my own out of some ikea fleece... Mind you, once she grows out of the size 1s we'll probably have a lot more liners than nappies lol...

    Jillie - jack loves his fist more than his dummy!

    Was hoping book would have come today - ended up co-sleeping last night cos he wouldn't settle in his cot so I got no sleep!

    Jack has started dribbling more as well, just soaked OH's top :rotfl:

    fist is definitely taking over here. he wasnt too keen on the soothers anyway, which i'm pleased about.
    how did you co-sleep? just curious as i'd like to take Kian into bed sometimes in the morning but i;m a bit scared...

    We're using Bum Genius nappies and they have a microfibre insert - but reusable liners as well might be even more sensible. We do have about 800 liners though at the moment because I keep buying them to put me over the Boots free delivery limit :rotfl:

    See I was thinking the ones with the sides would be safer, and a back rather than just a bit of plastic cushion. That argos one looks good though!

    Yes Sami, I am cheap :p but we don't have a car so it will be getting minimal use.

    Will that argos one go in any car? Or does it only fit certain models? I hated that with baby seats, why can't they fit them all! All cars should be identical :p

    seth is at the CM, my house feels empty :( actually its just as if he's having a big old nap really!! taking a few minutes to cuddle and spoil my kitty, then having some 7p super noodles for lunch :o and then going to take the opportunity of not getting disturbed to attempt to clean the bathroom and do more ebay listings. i have a gorgeous pink and white fur roxy outfit from my snowboarding days which i'm going to take the plunge and list, i love it but there is no point whatsoever in keeping it as my snow holiday days are truly over, and its in such good nick i should get a half decent amount for it hopefully!

    We just had the cheap plastic seat type boosters when my boys were little and they managed fine.

    I can remember the olden days when I was little and you didn't get booster seats, so we were sat on old sofa seat cushions. Health and Safety bods would have a heart attack at that these days :D
    Here I go again on my own....
