Pyjamas
Each year for christmas (sorry ) I buy my kids new pyjamas. This year I'd like to buy them some ecofriendly PJ's that don't cost an arm and a leg! Any ideas?
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Re: Pyjamas
Oh you are really a mean mum! Pyjamas for *mas, I bet they are really appreciative, not! I used to get a new party dress from my grandmother (my mother made her do this as money was tight) and I was SOOOOOOOOOO cross to get clothes as a present when I was a kid!!!

Re: Pyjamas
Oddly enough they really look forward to it! They wear them on christmas eve - it's part of the tradition. If I didn't buy them they'd be disappointed! Yes - I have strange kids!Millymollymandy wrote:Oh you are really a mean mum! Pyjamas for *mas, I bet they are really appreciative, not!

Re: Pyjamas
hmmm - could you not make some?
btw my little one is strange too - wrapping paper confuses him! so i dont wrap presents ( have amazing places to hide things though) he couldnt understand that you would willingly want to rip up paper telling me last year 'no it breaks it' when showing him how to unwrap it.
at least he saves me a little cash with wrapping paper ,even if i do use brown paper as its much much cheaper than the facny xmas themed stuff and just tie it up with odd and ends from my ribbon box, and yes i gather all the ribbons up and return them or re-use.

Hmmm no - I can use a hammer and nails fine but can barely thread a needle!

In that case if you DO want to be a mean mum, or they've been winding you up something horrid..... get them some hankies instead for a change.Milims wrote:Oddly enough they really look forward to it!

Re: Pyjamas
Millims, I'd love some eco pajamas for Christmas. Room for a little one?
Failing Millims adopting me, does anyone know where to buy nice brushed cotton for making grown up pajamas from an at least eco friendly ish fabric supplier? I only sem to find poly cotton and don't know any ethically sound places to buy fabric from.

Re: Pyjamas
Jill there's always room for one more - the only problem is you'd have to put up with us!

Green fibres sell organic pyjamas and material - don't know how they are pricewise, though.JillStephens7 wrote: Failing Millims adopting me, does anyone know where to buy nice brushed cotton for making grown up pajamas from an at least eco friendly ish fabric supplier?
