Ok so i know theres alcoholics anonymous and all that but i think i need to attend.. Nappies Anonymous!
I have an addiction and i havent even used one yet.. im trying to use up all my cruddy disposables but she wont poo fast enough or wee for that matter! I have now bought.. 9 Bumgenius OSFA 1 Hot pink Fuzzibun 1 Haute OSFA 5 Peapods And i just sold 5 Peapods and 4 Mommys Touch! I just want to use them! I want to buy and try a tweedle, bubblebub, and a honeychild! Im sure there are plenty of others here that need nappies anonymous! 
Im so trying not to blame ohbaby for my addiction! I didnt know they existed untill i came across you lovely ladies  ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

I sold some of mine, but I still have some that I have for emergancies (like last night when I ran out of my cloths due to Josh pooing every few hours). I never knew about them either till on here, so wich I had knew about them when I had Andrew. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| Just keep a few for 'just in case' times! I usually keep one spare sposie in nappy bag, encase I havent taken enough cloth when we are out, as they can take up a lot of room in nappy bag. Also I have found people that arent used to MCN can put them on way to loose, so on rare occasions when someone has been minding Ilsa for me, I have left a cloth and a sposie encase they cant figure them out! Now I have some MCN that fasten with velcro instead of snaps, I leave them instead- no way they can fit them wrong! |

Hmmm,let me think.
10 Bumgenius v2.0 4 Bumgenius v1.0 4 Swaddlebees 4 Bubblebubs 2 Monkey Doodlez 1 Monkey Doodlez Swim Nappy 1 Homemade nappy that I plan to sell Do you think I might be able to justify buying more? I'd quite like some more Bubblebubs if I can prevent them leaking, as well as some more Monkey Doodlez as I am loving their trim fit. I'd sell some to fund my addiction, but I don't know when number 2 will come along and if Lucy is still in nappies then I'll need those extra nappies right? |

| Hey Sterryn, are you married to Ray? I figure there can't be too many Sterryn's in Whangaparaoa. If so, we went to each other's weddings. |

Lol Sterryn, you are gathering quite a collection. R is going to have to let you have another baby so you can use them all again
I am not going to list mine as it is not over5ly impressive as most of my new nappies are sitting in pieces in my sewing box.  I really need to get on to that this week.
And besides I can stop any time I want to ...... just dont want to |

LOL what a huge collection of nappies some of you have!! Well I have only just bought my first ones last week (and thought I was very controlled only getting 5!) so I'm no where near needing nappies anonymous yet.... but if I ever do, then I blame you ALL for my addiction!
