Bloody Hell.

I am absolutely addicted to MCN. For those that don't know what that means, it's Modern Cloth Nappies. Seriously addictive. But I have more than enough now that I never need buy my daughter any more, and I also make my own now to feed my addiction. Generally that works well, because I love designing my own nappies and sewing them and seeing how they turn out, then changing something on the design and starting again. It's made it really easy to stick to my plan of not buying many more nappies, and if I have to buy some only getting unisex ones that can be put away for future kids, and only if they're under $30 including postage.

Somehow today I ended up spending $155 on 2 nappies. Admitedly they're CGR nappies, which are REALLY hard to get, but still. There was a stocking tonight, and HEAPS of people sit there refreshing the website in the hopes of being the first to click through and checkout with a nappy because they sell out in seconds. I was hoping to get a pretty unisex medium octopus one that was only $35 plus postage, which for this brand is easily worth it, but it sold out by the time I refreshed my page. With the massive adrenalin rush, I ended up snapping up a giraffe set, with a nappy, tshirt and babylegs. $80 later I'm sitting here thinking "What the FUCK have I done?!"

Then there's the charity auction. There was a cute CGR that had been donated to a very worthy cause for auction. It's girly, and came with a matching singlet. I would normally have resisted, but because it was for charity, and I already have a dress put away in the matching fabric, I decided I didn't mind paying the $75 that one cost.

So now I'm $175 out of pocket, and neither nappy actually fits my current child! I just have to hope like Hell I have another girl one day to wear the pink one with the dress!

Ah well. They're a good investment nappy anyway, so if I decide not to have more kids, or I have more but no girls, I'll sell it brand new with the matching singlet AND dress. That's how I make myself feel better about the money, anyway!
