A mortgage free home for Emmy

tootoo

my dh isn't overly keen. when (rarely!) he does a nappy change he uses disposable wipes (if its a dirty one i generally get the call to do it anyway!) i find them easier as you don't have to separate them you just pop in the nappy and in the bucket if that makes sense?!
the cheeky wipes look good, but basically i've been told its a fancy tuppaware tub and wipes.
I have a few tubs and wipes. I've made some myself (on the sewing machine. one side nappy flannel and the other fleece) and then I've also got some small flannels (5 pack for £1) from the pound shop and they're the perfect size. towels work well too.
I use either water or camomile tea.

Dh used 12 (yes, 12!) Wipes cleaning a rather large poo today, almost a fifth of a pack!!!!
Will get going with the cutting tomorrow :-) wish me luck!
Think I'll get some cheapo face clothes for cleaning hands n faces in the kitchen, we're getting through an awful lot of kitchen roll, this weanig is a messy business!

12 - wow that is a lot! i find that even for the biggest mess I only use 3 cloth wipes.
I have flannels for hands and faces too. I find i have to make them easy to get to though :0)

Hmm, three face cloths were 2.75 in b&m, there must be cheaper ones somewhere, will try pound land next time I'm in a city!
Found coconut powder while I was there though, huge packet for only 69p!! Will use it instead of buying a korma next time I'm craving a takeaway :-)

My lovely pal treated me to lovely boozy lunch at the weekend :-D think she figured out i was trying to save money when i volunteered to make a picnic for lunch and suggested some cider to drink! Will make up a nice box of baked stuff for her I think, want her to know I appreciate her. Was a lovely unexpected treat :-)

Reusable wipes finished by my mil, going to buy a squeezy bottle next time I'm in home bargains for wetting them, think I saw lavender and tea tree oil for 99p each in b&m, so will get some next time I'm in town.
Also picked up pizza xpress pizza sauce for 29p a tin in b&s, and sacla roasted tomatoes for 69p a jar, bargainous! Stocked up.
Also decided to make 'foodie' hampers for my sister, dad and brother in law for Xmas, so will use some of the tomatoes in those. Should help men cut back months Xmas spend, so will have more cash to put into then overpaymnt fund then B-)

I put mine in A tuppaware tub already done so no faffing.
