Default 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.
