So here it comes!

Christmas is almost upon us! Who's finished their shopping? I certainly haven't lol. Thankfully, Edward hasn't attacked the tree yet, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time :).
On a nappy note, I've been using a new night time nappy which I'm finding fantastic! I had been using boosted day time nappies and although they did work, I was begining to feel it was time to invest in a specific night time nappy.
Night nappies, are usually more absorbant than daytime nappies but without as much of the bulk as a boosted day nappy. They tend to be bamboo or hemp which are really absorbant and have a few more layers in them than daytime nappies. I've been using a nappy that needs either a waterproof, fleece or wool wrap over it - I've been using fleece and wool and I'm finding them a winning combination!
I have only used one brand so far, so can't give you a fair comparison. I'm hoping I'll get to try some other brands in the new year.

I'd like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a great New Year, keep your eyes peeled for new events and upcoming nappuccino's in your area :)

Eeeeek Snow!!

So how are you all coping with the snow? I'm sure some of you are waiting for nappies to dry.....yes, me too!
Although I have been using the tumble dryer a bit more often!
I've tried to work out how much it would cost to use the tumble dryer and it works out at around 35p per load - add that to around 40p per 40 degree wash and overall it's not too bad in my opinion. Energy usage is around 3.5Khz dependant on your dryer make/model. Hope that's useful info for you :)

So, who's got their Christmas tree up?! Mine went up on the 1st December (as it always does) it was fun watching Edward work out what was going on, now I just need the presents to go under it!!
