JCLMellor thank you for the recommendation of the reusable wipes, these would be fab with my mucky 3 yr olds too, we get through waaaay too many.
Am gradually building a small stash through loans / ebay / classifieds to try out before we get going properly. I have tried a bamboo tots bot the other day. When my OH asked me how it'd gone I told him "rubbish, she was wet right through". Only later did I twig I should've used a wrap too...
All part of the learning curve eh... 
welcome to the tree! Be warned - cloth nappies can be very addictive, my stash keeps growing!!!
