What cant we get here?
 
Friend in the Uk asked me what things we couldn't get here..
Can anyone think of anything they wish we could have readily available here?

I can think of kids clothing ,decent quality but much cheaper than say Target.
I could fill a trolley in the Uk in Sainsbury's TU brand stuff ,fab quality and spend only £50. Cant do that here.

Oh and maybe a good little vacuum cleaner with a small nozzle especially to clean the gullys in the sliding windows...urgh those flies !!!

I maybe wrong, but don't vacuum cleaners come with a narrow nozzle attachment that is capable of doing that?

Dont you find Huggies do a good job? I always used Pampers during the day and Huggies at night, only because Pampers seemed slightly less bulky. When we got here i just stuck to Huggies.

I have found I get a bit of the gel from the huggies. I didn't have any sore bums with my first 2 kids but do this time around. The pampers baby dry were always good for us at night and the sensitive wipes seemed more sensitive. I did look into buying some pampers from a website but at double the cost of huggies I'll live with the huggies!

That's because of the silicon spray that's been used as a lubricant in it.
