Cloth Nappy Tree Forum

wow this post has made me feel so much better!!

i was worried about the amount ive been spending on nappies recently, but recently it was just a mad shopping spree and i hadnt bought new nappies for ages before that. we've mostly converted to pockets during the day so I really did "need" some more! i have spent at least £100 in the last month on nappies and wool.

and i still need a WN night notions when they're in stock....and i get my debit card back lol

i dont plan to spend too much more on them as its really getting out of hand now...! xxx

Very impressive!!

Either very impressive or very sad

I either swap or sell some to buy more! Told my husband long ago that I had *no* need to buy any nappies, so I would work with the ones I have (either selling or swapping) if I wanted anymore. And I think I've pretty much kept to that too...tho a couple months back I bought a big bundle of Little Lamb nappies for baby due in April (without having sold anything). Ended up giving them a makeover with lovely bright dyes but in the end decided I wanted something else. So fortunately I sold them on (making a profit too!) and was able to have a bit of a shopping spree on secondhand nappies, which was fun. Not bought anything overly exciting mind, but fun to get "new" things. Never bought any new nappies, apart from some unused prefolds from ebay (for nearly a rip-off bargain) back before my first baby was born - oh yeah, and a few proraps long ago. Otherwise, all used ones for me. "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" - right??!

I only buy when i sell (well thats what i tell hubby anyway )

On the whole thats what i do but add a little more on without him noticing.

Would love to spend a lot more (there's sooooo many i want to try)


Before she was born we had a initial outlay for nappies of £150 since then i have probably only spent another £50ish on top of that, even though my stash has completely changed since she was born

Not sure...spent about £170 before Jasmine was born, sold loads and bought some to replace them, and since then have spent another £80 I reckon so not too bad.

I spend in all areas including nappies too.

Me too. I tend to spend not a lot for a while then have a splurge. Just received three Upsy Daisies and have just ordered a load more.

You *must* go shopping then. You have my permission to.....
