Well I have just read the most stupid article ever.

This week is real nappy week and there has been lots of media coverage about how great terry nappies are, either the squares or shaped ones. But the BBC magazine ran this article Nappy wars which talks about how disposible nappies have freed the housewife from days spent washing nappies. What a load of poo! I wash Emily's every 3rd day, it takes 10 mins to load the washing machine, and about the same to put them out to dry. If time is the real reason people are using disposibles then you can get them taken away and washed.

I really can believe that the BBC can be so stupid. I can think of lots of reasons why people don't use them, but time is not really an issue. (How long does it take to carry out all those bin bags full of smelly nappies?!)

On Saturday my brother's girlfriend, Claire, gave birth to their baby, Hannah Louise. Labour was not fun, but as you can see they now have a very beautiful daughter. My mum and dad have been up to London to see her and said she looks lovely. We are hoping to visit when they are all back home and settled. I'm so happy for them both, and am really looking forward to meeting Hannah.
