Can anyone recommend where I can get a cheapish waterproof mattress protector in case my waters go in the night? Only needs to be for single bed as I'm in the spare room these days!

I know that you can get plastic sheets for about £2 in Shaws the drapers or this one :
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Clippasafe-Waterproof-Mattress-Sheet-Single/dp/B000F5Z3K2/ref=sr_1_1/279-3051030-1824516?ie=UTF8&s=baby&qid=1283975005&sr=8-1 is £4.47 on Amazon.


- not sure how comfortable they are to sleep in though

Why don't you use the Pampers bed mats. In fact I have loads of them as DD is a very good girl and hardly ever wets the bed. PM me your address and I will post them to you.

Hello everyone

Been trying to keep up with fred but only made it to p8 and read down the page from reply screen, hope toots is ok, and glad everything was as well as expected for LW.
I will try try to catch up more but it decreases my flying significantly!
Thanks to pigpen, toots and soappie at FCC for thread (and esp for putting Monday as LR as I did lots of it on Sunday! )
Oh and thanks to greenbee for the courgette soup recipe - it was a big hit, both DH and I had seconds (pity as I was planning to freeze a portion, but it was so good!) but given DH turned his nose up at it when I said that's what was for dinner it has to go down as a victory especially with the courgette glut I am facing, plenty more there for freezing.

Before my son was properly toilet trained we used to use a shower curtain - i'm sure you'll be able to pick one up anywhere really cheaply. good luck

She very nearly stole my chickens ;):D:D

Very glad LW was OK after the hospital visit, also spoons aplenty winging their way to LL, toots, and anyone else that needs them. Hope soappie is OK too.

Still not found the keys- just about to empty out bin. Have been putting it off but as i haven't found it in any toy boxes etc its my last hope. The house next door is being overhauled as the tenants left it in a right state. Have had to let them round the back of mine and other stuff . Anyway one of the guys has some locks in his van and said if I haven't found them tomorrow he'll sort it out!! Checked at local police station too just in case but I know they are somewhere in my house. Tidied downstairs and little bit of one of the kids rooms including chucking some really old tops and knockers out! Went to Tesco and my parents. Have come home and vegged! I'm so tired! DS is at nursery and DD1 and DD2 are both at school so child free morning tomorrow!! Plumber coming round in the morning between 8-12 so going to really blitz in the morning as have to stay in so no excuse. Meant to be calling the ex's dad but that can wait until tomorrow!
