MCN Meet

[bootiful]

I am starting to look into buying MCN's for bubs due in Jan09.

I have looked at a few brands and types but im still confused as to which ones are best.

Is anyone interested in planning a meet? We haven't had one in a while and id love to see some more nappies and learn more about them.

:wave:

[Kazamataz]

I'd be interested in coming, we only have a small apartment so I couldn't host one tho.

[berniebabe]

Have it next week and I will definately be there :D We leave on Saturday.

[justmum]

We would love to come, provided it fits in with work. :smiliedance:

[Starlet]

I'd love to come too :)

[westerner]

Im in.. have you thought about location..??

Im happy to have it at my house monday week.. So umm the 8th..

May I ask what MCN's stands for?

[Starlet]

Modern Cloth Nappies :) They're the nappies I had on Owen at the meet the other day.

[kezzaskids]

silly question but what does one do at a MCN meet?

[Starlet]

I guess to have a look at each others nappies, they aren't cheap, so it's always good to be able to see them and ask questions to those who are already using them.

Well that's why I am going anyway(that and because I haven't seen a few of these ladies for a while and want to catch up lol).

[westerner]

silly question but what does one do at a MCN meet?

Its mainly an excuse to eat lots of yummy food and have a big :ecomcity: while the kiddies play.. :p

But you will also find that some of us will bring along some of our nappies, show off our new ones, talk about our favorites, explain and show different ones to the girls who are interested in using them but haven't decided which kind, do some nappy swaps, etc..

You do not have to use MCN in order to come along though, everyone is indeed welcome..
Chat will include many other things as well.. :thumbsup:

[justmum]

And maybe some swapsies?

[westerner]

And maybe some swapsies?
Oh yeh and that.. Forgot about that one.. :thumbsup:

[justmum]

Oh yeh and that.. Forgot about that one.. :thumbsup:

Oh goody.

Just to throw it out there, I am looking for some of the new style (with pocket) Magicalls in Small or Medium if anyone wants to swap.

I have some Blueberry pockets (2 OSFM and 1 large) and a few large itti d'lish plus a few other bibs and bobs.

Didn't think that far ahead...but if you are offering I wouldn't say no...your an angel.

sit and talk bout nappies, look at ones people bring along etc.

I can't see why not :p

:wave:
Could I come? I have a verrrrrrry teeny collection at the moment, trying to suss out what suits us best.
Bub doesn't play yet though.

We would love to meet you.

If people can bring along their stash that would be great as not having any i want to look at them as much as i can.

[Starlet]

I don't have heaps, but I will definitely bring some :)

[Cerridwen]

I'll be in for it :) I have baby beehinds and some cushie tushies :)

Oh and I have some very basic terry toweling ones too :yes:

[creativewarrior]

[dormouse]

And I'm sure we will be able to! They are just too cute! :p

I will be there for sure! I might even be able to bring another mum along to convert if that's ok...

[Bron]

Me me me me!! I love talking cloth.

Where? When?

[Sammilee]

Hi :wave:

Can I come too please? I've never been to a MCN meet (or any other BH meet for that matter... too shy! :o), but I'm so very new to all this MCN stuff and will admit that on my first attempt at using them I have had disaster after disaster with them (oh, I had one night where they worked but that's about it :(). So I'd love to chat with some MCN pro's to see what I'm doing wrong or if there are any better MCN's out there that I could use for night time.

So if you can please PM me the details I'd love to be there too.

Thanks!

Sam... :flowerz:

PS. My bubby boy is a bit too young to play with the other kiddies, does that matter?

[justmum]

I was going to PM you to come Sam - you should sit down and have a good natter with Bron. She knows about night time wees.

[Sammilee]

:wave: Thx for that... Cool! :thumbsup:

[1MUM1]

ok kool ive already chosen my nappies that im happy with but happy to come along and meet some new people :)

[justmum]

And there will probably be other kiddies your DS' age, Sam. :)

[Sammilee]

And there will probably be other kiddies your DS' age, Sam. :)

Excellent... I wasn't too sure if it was just for those that have kiddies that can play together... you know, kids playing together so mums can chat sorta thing 'coz knowing my boy he'll be clinging to me (gotta love that separation anxiety stage :rolleyes:).

[justmum]

Oh I feel your pain - my DS is going through it all again now he's walking. He's become Mr Shypants all over again. Unfortunately he's at that inconvenient crotch height.

You might find your DS likes to kick back and watch the bigger kids once he settles in. :)

Here's hoping DS does! At first the clingy stage was all lovey-dovey :goodvibes: (made me feel like such a spesh mum :yes:), but now I'm a bit over it LOL! :D

I'm looking forward to the meet :)

[westerner]

Too many posts to quote, but of course everyone is welcome..

I will have a playmat separate from the bigger kids for the bubs to play on so thats all cool..

It will be inside though, as outback is being redone..

Im happy to open the house up from 10am..
But come when you like, there bound to be people trickling in and out for a few hours so whenever suits best..

What does everyone think of Mon 8th??
Good or bad..?? to soon or bad day??

Let me know and if thats no good we can pick another weekday or postpone it to the following Mon..

[Bron]

As for travelling to your house, Kristy, I'll just make sure I bring my passport. :p

Justmum - I'll try to remember to show you how I stuff my Krap Katchers too.

[Mum2Bug]

We will be there about 10.30am, depending on buses

[justmum]

Sounds good to me! I'll be in. :smiliedance:

[Sammilee]

Monday 8th Sept at 10am sounds good to me :yes:. Tho' in all honesty I'll probably get there around 10:30am 'coz DS usually has a morning sleep and doesn't get up until around 10'ish. Thanks! :flowerz:

[Kazamataz]

We will be there about 10.30am, depending on buses

We should catch the bus together :D

[Grizabella]

Only just saw this thread but can't make it anyway. Am working plus even if I wasn't Brion is too much hard work in big groups now so meets aren't a good idea.

Have fun ladies :D

[creativewarrior]

[westerner]

No worries D.. :fingerscrossed:

[justmum]

Sorry girls it's a no for us today. H is about 90% but didn't want to risk it :no:

[Mum2Bug]

Sorry we didnt make it hun. As i said im my call, i ended up with an unexpected visitor for the day! I hope the meet goes well.

[westerner]

Thanks to those who came..
Was a great morning and i enjoyed the chat..

:fingerscrossed: to a few new cloth bums in the future.. :p

The house is clean again and the kids are :sleeping:.

To those that couldnt come i hope to catch up in the next few weeks again.. :thumbsup:
Im going to watch the weather and do a park meet, nice and central at Lake monger.

[Bron]

Thanks Kristy! We had fun. H stayed awake for the whole drive home, but refused to sleep once we got home:rolleyes:. He's playing in the garden with DH.

[Sammilee]

Thanks Kristy for opening your house this morning, Caden and I enjoyed ourselves (always nice to meet new people :)).

And thanks Bron and Kristy for showing me your Krap Katchers and how you stuff 'em. I've signed up to KK's mailing list so hopefully I'll get a heads up when they next have a sale and will be able to snaggle one up and give it a go! :fingerscrossed:

[westerner]

Was great to meet you and your handsome little man..

Hopefully will see you at the next meet.. :thumbsup:

[bootiful]

:hugs: thanks for letting us use your house today Kristy....

being able to look at the nappies really helped me to decided which ones i'd like to buy :D

[kezzaskids]

which ones are you thinking of buying angelbaby013 ??

[justmum]

Kristy, Lake Monger is close to us so that sounds good :thumbsup: Fingers crossed H will be well so we can come.

We had (yet another) riveting day at home broken up by a trip to Galleria (that's 8 days in a row!!) where H screamed Woolies down for 1/2 hour :o Hi to anyone who was there, no doubt you'll recognise me from that description.

It would have been much more fun at your place. So sorry again we couldn't come.
