It also reminded me how much I've learned and how much I've changed too. One thing that I have discovered about parenting is never to judge unless you've walked a mile in someone's shoes. I can't remember who said it, but it's had a profound effect. :-D<BR/><BR/>Hi Maisie - LOL - shows how long you can still use them for doesn't it! You've reminded me that I should finally get mine down from the loft and find another use. :-D<BR/><BR/>Hi Baba - it has flown by hasn't it. Can you remember the pink pig you and Mr Baba bought? It's one of the few cuddly toys we still have. It still looks cute in a "I've been battered around the house" kind of way. I must post up a photo one day ;-D<BR/><BR/>Hi Just Gai - LOL, thank you. I wonder what might be revealed from my teenage years. Must think more on that one day ;-D<BR/><BR/>Hi Greenofficeblog - Yes, you're right, it's a huge problem as well as the methane from their contents. I was brought up with terry towel nappies too, or napkins as my mum calls them. I am just glad I can't remember the experience either way. ;-D<BR/><BR/>Hi Esther - thanks so much for the links. That's a great resource. It sounds as though you've managed it so well. What's great is there are so many different products on the market these days, there's a lot of choice for people to pick something that suits their own lifestyle. Not sure I've said this already but I really love that photo of you with the chicken by the way ;-DAlmost Mrs Averagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03566374419318255177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-29301751083204300882008-10-02T11:10:00.000+01:002008-10-02T11:10:00.000+01:00I sawed washable nappies for the second one....and...I sawed washable nappies for the second one....and yes, sometimes, I realy, really wanted, or needed disposable ones...and, I found compostable ones. great for traveling or when the child needs to sleep outdoors (other people don't really like washables) but they do cost much more than regular disposable....still, they end up in my own compost (and I've seen that they do compost, I might've even fed some plants with the ones of last year already, lol)<BR/><BR/>here's the link: http://www.leboncoin.fr/vi/18122828.htm or:<BR/>http://www.brindilles.fr/couches-jetables-bio/estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07643684799529816236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-70696590836969151092008-10-02T06:51:00.000+01:002008-10-02T06:51:00.000+01:00Happy birthday to your son!

The sheer volume of them makes them a huge hazard. My mother used washable nappies with my brother and I when we were babies, but for parents with too much laundry to do, biodegradable products work just as well.GreenOfficeBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09908543705366818901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140894823591123770.post-72489464100214874032008-10-01T23:30:00.000+01:002008-10-01T23:30:00.000+01:00Dear Mrs AI'm sure none of us need to dig too far ...Dear Mrs A<BR/>I'm sure none of us need to dig too far into our pasts to discover some dark deed that would make us hang our heads in shame.
