I wrote a letter to the editor of The Listener in response to a lady who said she didn't have time to scrub or scrape cloth nappies - if anyone is time poor it has to be me! And they published it in this weeks Listener

and well written it is too - though that is probably the aspect that puts me off the most! Not the time thing so much as the fact that it needs to be done...

I didn't even know it had been published till Katherine rang and told me she'd seen it. Had forgotten I had even gotten on my soap box in the first place lol. My granddad would be so proud - he was a regular "letters to the editor" and talkback correspondent.

woohooo congrats for being in the listener. Dont suppose you have a saved copy of your letter on the comp? And that you could post it on here or email it to me? Just so i dont have to go out and buy the listener.

Great Letter Emma

I went digging at my parents place for the mag.

I am amazed at how you get time to do anything like replying to letters with your tribe.
