You know you're probably not an MCN addict when you have to come into this thread to work out what on earth MCN is.

Oh, I don't doubt it! I didn't say they weren't cute, or they don't have merit. I'm possibly going to have a baby in a few months(fingers crossed), and have thought seriously (am still thinking)about converting for this baby.

Besides, my closest friend on here is Paulette (Sunny003) and she seems to be hooked on them. I'm sure she can work on me toO!



I just couldn't work out the acronym, that's all.


Convert me... biggrin.gif

You spend longer working out what nappy to put on your bubs bum than you spend getting yourself dressed.


Love this one Leah!

I knew the moment I became a MCN addict - I trashed the spreadsheet I had been keeping track of my purchases/savings in!!!

You go away for the weekend and comment how the blanket material on the hotel bed would be so nice on bubs bum.




PS - Yes I did say this and DH thought I was nuts!!! But the material was beautiful and would have made a lovely cover.

When you cringe when you see one of those ugly plastic sposies poking out of lovely pair of pants/jeans or under a gorgeous skirt/dress.

When you grin from ear to ear when you see a cute cloth bum poking out of a lovely pair of pants/jeans or under a gorgeous skirt/dress.

When you know that a mandy mac and a jayebee refers to a type cloth nappy and not some new pop/rap singer lol! tongue.gif

LOL!

Along the same lines, normally you are relieved when DH is working from home so you can have a little help during the day, except when fluffy mail is due. That's when you try to convince him that he would be more productive and less distracted in the office dev (6).gif.

When you try to see how quietly you can sneak your purse / handbag into the computer room so you can use your credit card without DH noticing...

When you DREAM about the jolly things...

When missing buying the dreamy Jayebee nappy sends you spiralling into a tantrum / depressed state that only chocolate can cure...

The next baby has an almost completed stash and yet still has no clothes or bedding bought for it blush.gif

You buy a nappy instead of shorts.

You want your son to open his birthday present early that was received from a relative that day as you are in withdrawal from no fluffy mail. (me on Friday!)
