Cheeky Wipes
so originally the idea of reusable wipes didnt really appeal to me, i'll admit that but with my new guruing i decided as i was going to sell them i really should give them a go!
so for the last week or so i've been trying the cheeky wipes kit.
in the full kit you get two tubs (one with fresh wipes written on and one with mucky wipes) two lil bags with the same written on for out and about (the mucky one zips apart to go straight in the wash!) a load of wipes and some essential oil mixes (again one for fresh and one for mucky)
setting up is nice and easy - you fill the tubs with water and add a few drops of oil - then bung in the wipes :)
take out clean wipe - use - bung in mucky container - then you bung the lot in the wash with your normal load! once out the wash they dont need drying - you just bung them straight back in container with more solution - easy peasy!
i forgot to mention the mucky tub has a net bag you put in for the wipes which you bung them in the wash with so no need to touch mucky wipes!
i will admit now i did add a lil baby wash to my solution just to give it that extra suds but thats all down to personal choice!
the set lasts me a few days (depending on how many changes madame requires!) and i either bunged in with normal wash or in with nappies so no extra loads, brilliant!
they wipe really well too! so far i've only needed one wipe per change (except for one maaaaaaaaaaaassive poo lol) even at most poo changes!
so all in all im very impressed and will be continuing to use them :) thus saving myself loads of money not having to buy wipes all the time. I believe the average saving is something around £200 a year dependent on how many packs you buy a week and what brand. so for the cost of approx. £30 these wipes work out really economical!
also i have used the wipes for myself - sweaty forehead on hot day etc - ooooo they were really nice and cool and refreshing! and i've used to give paigey a clean over (mucky hands etc) and they have worked great :)

Moooo....
yey at last this morning i have my first cow print nappy! such a sad thing to get excited about maybe but it's something i've wanted for soooooo long now lol.
last week i got a pack of 5 babylegs and one of which was also cow print, cant wait to try them on paigey!
all i need now is a lil t shirt to complete the outfit!
on another note this new nappy is quite interesting as it has adjustable leg elastic instead of adjustable front poppers so will defiantly be one to get used to!

By the light of my iphone...
There are many things you find yourself doing as a new mum which you would never have imagined before. Last night was one just example.
Paige has decided this week to have another growth spurt (must have been her choice she timed it perfectly with russ going away at the weekend) anyway so basically we aree back to feeding every couple of hours through the night >.<
So half one rolls around and madame screams for food - so i get it. well turns out she was lucky cuz as i sit and start feeding her the power goes out in the whole street. Gods knows what i would have done to get her a bottle and warm it if this had happened first!
Anyway so now im sat in pitch black - i cant even see baby or bottle let alone put the two together! which leads to me calling russ - the powers gone out! - so he brings in his iphone so i have some sort of light - just enough to see the bottle into her mouth!
about ten minutes later he brings up his laptop and yey better light lol! the things we do hey.
luckily the power cut only lasted half an hour so we had the monitor back just as we settled her down again :)
