You know you're addicted when...

[Butterfliez]

You know you're addicted to MCN's when...


You plan you're day around the postal delivery man.

He doesn't come to your house, so you chase after him thinking he must have forgotten you. :o

MCN stores make up the majority of your "favourites" on the computer.

You bore family members with constant talk of your lastest "fluffy mail".

Your relaxation time is spent drooling over MCN stores.

You love washing nappies!!!


So these are my confessions. What are yours? :D

[KarniF00l]

:laughing: Yep my confessions are very much the same.

You know you are addicted..

*When MCNs get first priority in the washing machine and on the clothes line, but that's a given.

*When you have a 'set' way to hang and arrange nappies on the clothes line. God forbid letting DH do it.

*When you wake the kids up from their afternoon nap to get parcels from the Post Office :o

*When you gawk out the window every 5 minutes waiting for the postie.

*When you arrange and re-arrange MCN on the change table several times a day.

*When you are a bit low on money and you re-budget and plan cheaper meals to buy a nappy you so desperately want.

[Little_Toad]

You know when you're addicted when:

You buy clothes to match the nappies you have.

[KarniF00l]

You know you're addicted when the primary reason you get excited over a nice sunny day is that it's 'good nappy drying weather'.

Oh god me too :laughing:

[Purplebird]

You know you're addicted when you lie to your husband about new nappies:

"yes, it was second hand - I found it in the op shop"

"someone at Mother's Group gave it to me as they didn't want to use cloth"

"no, that one's not new I just haven't used it before"

:o

[jembelina]

:laughing: :yes: to all of the above!!!! and...........

-when you take your time changing nappies when you have visitors/are in a parents room and talk loudly to bub about what cute nappy to choose, etc, etc, taking extra care to flash the nappy around, shake out your wetbag, spray you wipes :ecomcity:
-get excited when the weather gets warm enough for bub to just wear a nappy
-take photos of your bubs bottom rather than their face!!
There are many more, but I must go and check out wahmnaps!! LOL!

LOL Guilty here too, my other reasoning is that "oh i got it in a nappy swap with a few other ladies...."

[Little_Toad]

How true is that!
Luckily some babies face's look the same as their bums so no one will notcie.

[shanz]

your hubby sees you on the computer and say "we dont NEED anymore nappies!!"
This is before he even looks at the screen.
I too judge days by nappy drying time,lmao
And will use any excuse to show off a cute nappy.
Fortunatley for me I am still in the denial stage...............I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM.
Everyone else just thinks I do.
ROFL

[Hokey Pokey]

You pay $$ off your cc to only go and buy ANOTHER nappy:o

[Adria]

You dream about MCNs.
Or in my case you dream about the fabrics....yes that is true..
i woke up and said to DH i just had the best dream ever.. he looked at me like "what the??":confused:

[Butterfliez]

Yep, I dreamt about Blueberry's last night :o

[BiNdI86]

You know your addicted when..............

You can turn ANY conversation to MCN.

DP: Do you like this car?

Me: mmmm, see that colour (points to car on other page) I saw a blueberry that colour and I thought it would look super cute on A for summer.

DP: A What?? What's that got to do with the car? :confused:

Me: What car......Do you think I should order one insert or two??:o :D

DP: One.....Are you getting the snappy ones or the velcro???

[Freya]

OMG i have been sitting here giggling over you lot... absolutely hilarious!!!!!!:laughing:

[shanz]

[Blueberry Crumble]

[Purplebird]

How true is that!
Luckily some babies face's look the same as their bums so no one will notcie.

Oooh harsh, Little Toad, but so true :laughing:

:yes:
Must admit, the first time I could do that I felt quite proud:o

[FunkyMonkey]

when you seriously consider cutting up (expensive) clothing because it's MM fleece. (Surely I'm never going to wear that ski jacket again anyway)

PMSL, i wanted to make some wool covers with wool blanketing. When I saw that it was $70/metre for pure wool i said to DH "sweetie dont you have a pure wool blanket that I could use?"
His reply was "I hope you arent serious?(long pause:p )That damn blanket is worth $400 YOU ARE NOT TO CUT IT UP"
Me"Bugger, Well it was worth a try, we never use it anyway"
DH "NO"
PMSL it was hilarious when i actually realised what i was saying!

I've been known to trawl through op shops to find woolen blankets. :yes:
I've lanolised an entire blanket to use on DS's bed. :o It only cost me $6!

[kel2boys]

-take photos of your bubs bottom rather than their face!!
LOL!

this one made me laugh out aloud!!!!!:laughing:

I have one, when I used to go into the bank to do direct deposit I would even tell the bank teller all about my new purchase.:ecomcity:

Another, I set up internet banking just to purchase mcn's so I didn't have to go into the bank anymore.:no:

When the post delivery man came three times in one week and in the end he just gave me the nod.:yes:

[Laksa]

i knew i was an addict when i bribed my husband with 'special cuddles' to let me buy more nappies :o

well, it always works, hey?

[shanz]

LMAO
thats hilarious, havent tried that .............................YET

[Ange&Seth]

Hmmm - this thread is an excellent source of excuses and ways to get DP to agree to more nappy purchases :detective:

[Lollie86]

PMSL!!! :laughing:

This thread is sooo funny!

Ive round up a lot of excuses that I can use now! :D

Thanks ladies!!!

[Butterfliez]

Thought of another couple...

I still haven't had a shower today (just threw some clothes on) in case I missed the postie while I was in the shower.

Waiting to do the vacuuming til the afternoon in case you don't hear the postie ringing the doorbell!

Yes, sign me up too please to MCN anon! :rolleyes:

[Adria]

You run late for appointment/outings because your busy looking at nappies and fabrics on line.

[Hokey Pokey]

LOL what funny replies!!

[~Alicia]

i knew i was an addict when i bribed my husband with 'special cuddles' to let me buy more nappies :o

Hehe, I do that quite a bit :o, yep, prostituting myself for nappies (only to DH!!! :laughing:)

Recently got me $200 worth of nappies ROFL

[MrsScatterbrain]

This is so funny! :laughing:

I knew I was an addict when I started upgrading my son's nappy stash from small to medium size ... except he's not even born yet! :laughing:

I spend waaaay too much time opening and closing my Bubblebubs, too! (DS has caught onto this one, too! He likes the pictures on the inside!)

[ETsMum]

Oh, I can relate to soooo many of these... But, I have to add... You know you're addicted when you tell your kids Grandma not to buy toys for his birthday present... buy him MCNs instead!!
ETA: He got 3 BG's and a Starbunz Monkey!!

[ikis84]

Ha!

I am kind of over the addiction - I have plenty of nappies for now... I just hope that the next baby is a boy, that way when he is in medium sizes I can have a legitimate excuse to buy more nappies :laughing:

[Little_Toad]

That may actually get you aother baby to continue your bappy addiction with. Double whammy!

You must be REAL good!


Another sign you are addicted:

The day before you go to a bubhub meet you make sure your best nappy is clean and ready to wear and make sure DP knows not to use it.

Or... (and I am NOT staying up all night to do this one!)
You stay up all night to finish making a groovy nappy specifically for toadlet ... I mean for "your" baby to wear.

[FunkyMonkey]

When you get a Visa debit card so you can buy stuff from O/S that don't support PayPal.
(I refuse to have a 'real' credit card 'cause I know how much damage I would do to it!)
