Ok, that's fair.
Even bland can be a type of character

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

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

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
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.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Sat Jul 20, 2024 10:59 amIt ain't got a plug.Count Steer wrote: ↑Sat Jul 20, 2024 10:58 amSo, Mr Dazzle, how do you know this fridge is non-functional?Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Sat Jul 20, 2024 10:45 am Fly tipping.

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 alreadyPirahna wrote: ↑Sat Jul 20, 2024 1:44 pmLeave it standing for 24 hours before plugging it in.Mussels wrote: ↑Sat Jul 20, 2024 1:34 pmMy 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.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Sat Jul 20, 2024 10:59 am

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 thoughTaipan wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2024 8:48 amWet wipes full stop.

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

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
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.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2024 8:54 amBaby D had reusable nappies and reusable wipes...it did mean carrying around sealed bags of piss soaked nappies sometimes thoughTaipan wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2024 8:48 amWet wipes full stop.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
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
