Why on earth not ??? I can't go back to dispicables now .......

But to answer your question:

If you have actually used them, then it is against ebay rules to sell USED reuseables, however, if you have just prewashed them, then you will be fine.

One place to sell used nappies is usednappies.co.uk, but you can also find another thread about selling them here.

Thanks for that.

We haven't used them as the wee man has chunky thighs and the nappy covers are digging in to him.

Finally managed to put a piccie of Samantha as my avatar, but I can't resist a few others

We found that too, even though Natasha has skinny little legs - she ended up with deep red marks on the inside of her thighs. I know there are ways you can fasten them to give a more roomy fit, but I could never seem to get it right.

My lo gets this but I would like to use reusables (I like bamboosles and cotton bottoms so far the first for softness and absorbancy and the second for cost and convenience) does anyone have advice about if my choices are best for the chubbier lad or is there a better one to suit? My boy is in size4 disposables now (at nearly 5mths)

Hi, can I join you all.

I gave birth to my daughter 6 weeks ago and am looking for any suggestions on how to make my the maternity pay go further so I can stay off work as long as possible,

I only know totsbots and motherease wraps but motherease wraps have 3 poppered positions and Samantha (born same time as tsstss7) is now in the last position of her medium size and I consider her legs quite chunky .

Welcome, I am sure you can join us.

Regarding making SMP last as long as possible, I have found the OS board invaluable. The grocery challenge has helped me to concentrate on what I spend, and I am quite proud to say that we haven't had a takeaway since I stopped working :rotfl: , and I have learnt how to cook (again).

I use cloth nappies, and although their is the initial outlay, I no longer have to find this money every month. Before I stopped using dispicables, I worked out that Sam was using 210 nappies a month, costing £25 :mad: .

Also my SMP runs out right at the beginning of the summer holidays and with three-children-in-childcare-over-that-6-week period is madness. Fortunately I got normal pay for the first 3 months, so I put the difference between normal pay and SMP's weekly £112.50 away, and we now have that to fall back on during the hols.

In fact I think I miscalculated and hopefully I'll be able to extend my maternity leave until Samantha is 10.5-11 months old. After that I only want to return for about 16 hours a week (I need to work out how many hours I need to work, but am almost scared to, incase it is more than I like :rolleyes: ).

I could really kick myself for our wasteful ways last year :mad: .

Thanks for the suggestions will check out the OS board.

Congratulations. Those pictures are really cute. Can everyone else see the avatars? I haven't been able to see them for ages.
