Team Grainger in 2004

Heh, well, I could email you a photo... ;o)

I don't know. I remember a (distant) friend from college doing that
when he sprogged. I *so* could not see the point. I'm quite happy to
show anyone who asks, but they have to want to see it first, I'm not
about to force it on anyone.

It's a bit like talking about it at work: quite happy to talk about it
if someone asks, or if I'm chatting with mates and someone overhears.
But one of my colleagues makes a point of mentioning it at every
opportunity, and it pisses me off a bit. I mean, not every
conversation has to be about me being pregnant FFS! Every conversation
should be about me, clearly, but not just that one topic ;o)

 

Nappy hell? You didn't do real nappies did you? What's so bad about
disposable ones?

As for breasts: they're *massive* now. ;o) Well, bigger, anyway. Dr
Will, he happy bunny!

 

Heh, I reckon I could be quite good at that goven a few sleepless
weeks... ;o)

 

I'll be getting the cage/ahem/cot ready just for that purpose then,
Snowy ;o)

 

Heh, nah, I'm the one with red hair, remember, it's Will that has to
put up with me on that front.. ;o)

 

Yeah, it couldn't have been your tool, Lozzo, I was already 'in the
family way' by the time it got anywhere near me/my bike ;o)

Cheers mate.

 

GIF! GIF!

 

Oh christ no, Pampers the only nappy any self respecting baby would be seen
in. But you'll be amazed what can come out of a babies bum.

Heh, enjoy them now Will they don't last for ever...

 

Well now that's a tempting offer

Blimey I know that feeling (and it wasn't even me that was pregnant),
there are some people here who you just feel like saying "there's more
to me than my kids you know!". They are the archetypal "baby bores"

Still I think in your case that's just to warm you up for when total
strangers (usually pensioners) come up and start feeling your bump (!)
in the supermarket. (my) Claire had that on more than a few occasions.

 

but "on the back of a nice comfy turbo" is not the same as
"riding a mini ZXR with it's anti-bump tank"...

 

I'm obviously massively un-qualified to comment here, but as I
understand it, they are bad for the environment (both production and
disposal) and expensive too - I seem to recall some one telling me the
cost and it was something like a grand over the nappy-wearing life
time of the child. A grand! Just on nappies. Jeez.

 

and motorbikes are *so* much better ;-)

as far as I can tell, the arguments you've outlined
are all true. But, and again I'm not properly qualified
(yet!), real nappies need lots of washing, and washing powder
is bad for the environment. But, the major part is that
disposables don't leak.

 

But in evironmental and economic terms, ITYF that washing terry
nappies has a worse effect.

 

You want to eat piccalilli ever again.

 

A quick calc off the top of my head says a grand sounds about right. But
believe me there are much more expensive things than nappies. The only
people IMHO who recommend 'real' nappies are either childless couples or
rich enough to pay somebody else to change and wash them.

 

Power Grainger says...

congrats. will it be coming to EOSM?

 

If you need any practice in the nappy changing department feel free to pop
round any time...

and the bars on the windows, special locks, fencing...
and don't forget to move everything breakable or dangerous to shelves
above 1.5m.

 

I'm assuming you're missing a "don't" out of the above?

 

Collostomy bags.
