i got a text from mindees mum - usually very uncommunicative - about an hour ago to say she's at home sick today with and just to pop along if she's forgotten to pack anything. Well, shock horror she has forgotten something - nappies! Oh, and wipes.. But popping up is going to be a long walk with a push chair and a walking toddler - about thirty minutes each way!

I always take a few spares out of the bag at the beginning of the week, just in case.

I actually bought myself some nappies to keep as emergencies as my mindee uses real nappies that you have to fold and use a nippa. Mindee has started walking so its a real struggle to get them on straight!
So what I do now is when we go to playgroup I take some disposable nappies along as its done in half the time and the mum gets the bonus of having one less nappy to wash :D
She knows I use them and is OK with it as it's part of my expenses.

I was going to say this. Tell her that you will keep the whole pack at your house incase it happens again. And when they run out, do the same again.
I am lucky in that both my parents of my mindees in nappies leave a new pack here and when running low, I just tell them and they replace them.

Ali, it is frustrating isnt it . . . you have to wonder sometimes.
As I have just got my first little one, I am also going to have a stock at home and will bill parent if I have to use . . . better than an hours walk.

Well he turned up today without any at all :eek:
So I bought more and have billed her and have kept it here.
But gggrrrr again :( - especially as I had to drag my kids out early before taking them school to pick the new pack up
