I was thinking of Fortitude Bakehouse actually, but I'll bear that one in mind!

Fly tipping.

I now have a non-functional fridge parked on the corner outside my house. It appeared mysteriously in the night.

Seems like a weird place to fly tip, almost feels like it's meant to be some kind of horses head thing :D

So, Mr Dazzle, how do you know this fridge is non-functional? :hmmm:

It ain't got a plug.

Fly tippers presumably chopped it off, wouldn't want to waste a perfectly functional 13 amper.

My guess is it was a swap out and someone cut the plug off as a way of disabling it, stick a new one on and give it a whirl.

Leave it standing for 24 hours before plugging it in.

It appeared some time around midnight last night (I don't have the actual drop on CCTV, just some before/after), so I'm some of the way there already :thumbup:

Wet wipe packaging. Why make the hole so small you end up pulling 10 out rather than the one you need. How about a wee blue line along the outer edge to give us a clue to where the fecking start is. I would hate to have a new born and trying to get them out with one hand. Bastards, its deliberate.

Baby D had reusable nappies and reusable wipes...it did mean carrying around sealed bags of piss soaked nappies sometimes though :D

I was surprised by how few other people used 'em TBH. They're dead easy now, it's not like you have to safety pin and all that nonsense any more, they just velcro and do up like 'normal' nappies.

We donated 'em all to charity at the end too :thumbup:

I looked at reusable nappies but they were loads more hassle and not noticably cheaper or more environmentally friendly (a bit like owning an EV now ;) ). That was ten years before you did it so they might have improved.

You definitely need to think about it.

Tumble drying them (or not) makes an enormous difference, I can't remember the last time I tumble dried anything though. Similarly the choice of fibre and manufacturer matters, Bamboo gets loads of credit for being fast growing, low impact and green (which it is) but if you then use certain processes to make it into fabric it completely wipes out the benefit for eaxmple.

Donating them vs. throwing them away also impacts too of course.

I doubt ours were any cheaper in the long run, but I don't have a control case! We still used a few regular disposables anyway 'cause they're way easier to squirrel away in day bags and car cubby holes for emergencies :D
