Roo

Roo is the little fattypuff ... he makes me smile and loves to poke out his tongue!

Nathan ...

Nathan is my oldest ... I used to call him bean ... doesn't matter how far away he is i still love him!

Sammi

Sammi is my tiddler  .. she would so say this .... she needs to realise just how clever she really is!

Kate ....

Kate is the oldest girl and her hair is better than this ... in fact I am quite jealous of her hair ... she is beautiful and i love her!

Rose .....

 Rose is my middler, she is now 15 ... The smallest baby and longest birth ... a beautiful mind and possibly way too much thought! This is the colour of the roses my mum bought for me when Rose was born. I only wish that Mum could see her now x

Smartipants ....

  Well here goes nothing ... before the holiday's some lovely lady came to visit our 'baby time' session and talked to us about the council initiative for refunding some cash if you invested in re-usable nappies. Details here. 
  She was a lovely young lady called Faatima, and was a Nappy Guru for Flll your pants. She offered all of us a sample pack of 'smartipants' nappies, each pack containing two spartipants wraps and two 'super absorbent microfibre' liners. Faatima was very helpful and sweet and introduced us all to the scheme and gave us the infor on the nappies she gave us and information on the website.
 'Smartipants' , at first look appear to be very similar to other nappies available on the market. In fact almost exactly the same as some i bought from China on Ebay. The poppers being exactly the same position wise and the 'leak guard technology' ( a seam) almost exactl;y placed in both.
 We do have many different brands of both nappy and insert and I would have to say they are much of a 'muchness' with the others we have. 
  Pro's 

• They are slim when dry and wet
• they wash and dry well and quickly
• they are easy to use
• wide range of colours
• good strong snaps

Con's

• they are not well 'finished' considering the price you are paying
• Liners supplied are just ordinary
• 'leak guard technology' is a seam and doesn't seem to work particularly differently to any other nappy I have used
• they promise the world and are at best ordinary

    The biggest plus point about this freebie from the Nappy guru, is that they were well packaged and supplied in a lovely wet nappy bag. I have I admit used the wet nappy bag more than I have the nappies! It is dead handy all the time.
      We used the nappies whilst away camping and at home over the six weeks holiday, I have not been asked to do these reviews or given anything for the purpose of this blog. Whilst I am happy to review if companies/people wish me to this review has been written for anyone that cares to read it and I hope it will help other people make an informed choice when buying their cloth nappies.
       On the plus side, all I can do is praise the work of the Nappy Guru's and sing the praises of http://www.fill-your-pants.com/. Without one i would not have found the other! http://www.fill-your-pants.com/ is an amazing website very easy to use with lots of offers and giveaways available. I am most impressed by the 'pants points' such a good idea and a great way to spread the cost of cloth nappies.
      I was a convert before I found the site but I do feel it is the most informative and friendly of the various sites available on the web today. They hold lots of stock not only nappies and they are well worth a look!


  The opinions here are mine and I have not been paid or invited to write this review.

Coming Home ....

  Well at last we are home for a while with no great rush to pack up the car/mini bus for yet another excursion. So far this week Roo has spent 28 days under canvas, pretty good for a five and a bit month old! It has however been twelve weeks of walking in and out of the house and washing cleaning ironing and repacking So it is great to have landed finally!
  Have lots to share on the holibobs but will do it slowly as and when I have time. Yesterday i realized how filthy my carpets were for example ... its all go around here!
   Just taking advantage of a small sleep from the boss to get on here and start again! Whilst we have been away we have had fun with all sorts not least with some washable nappies from 'smartipants' which I intend to review as my new blog in between the madness!
   Its good to be back!
