This week’s competition is going to run for three weeks - as we’re aware many people are away or busy over the next few days! We’ve just announced our Easter Closures and will be closed next Friday so will judge it on Friday 8th May. We will therefore have 3 nappies to give away - either to one single winner, or if the level of entries is high enough, divided amongst 2 or 3 entrants.
It’s a nice easy one, and to celebrate the lovely weather and the bank holidays coming up, we want to have a bit of a laugh. You will all know we have a lovely gallery of images on our website now - customer pictures of their babies in their beautiful fluffy nappies. Well we want you to make us some great captions up for them. You can upload more pictures if you like - just email them through to us and we’ll upload them to the site.
We just need the details, as copied from the site, eg:
Name: Little Baby
Sent in by: Baby’s mum
And then your idea for a caption. As always, post the answers on the comment thread below, and don’t forget to include your username from our website to be in with a chance to win. This is for fun only, so we won’t be adding the caption to the site. The funniest one - that makes us laugh out loud - will win. And to stop us getting loads of the same entries, our example below uses the inevitable “does my bum look big in this?”

We’ve been looking at our lovely Fuzzibunz stock, and the way we sell it to you. Having recently added the lovely Mac’n'cheese and Watermelon colours, we have looked again at our kits, and which colours we should put in them.
You can view the kits as they stand here:
One-size kit
Perfect-size kit
You’ll notice that we do have an option to email in your colour preference, but we want to make sure that the kits we have pre-selected are the right ones for our customers. So what we’re asking for this week is what you’d like to see in the kits. The main thing we want to know is the colours - whether we should be dividing them as they are, or do away with genders all together? And once you’ve decided what the kits should be, then which colours would you put in them?
If you like, you can download all the images from the pages above, and experiment with how they look in different groupings.
Answers in the comment thread below, as usual. Please don’t forget to register on our site first, so that your entry to this competition matches your username on there. Thanks!

It’s an easier competition this week. We need your help! We’re going to stock real nappy leg warmers, and want to know from you - whether or not you use them now, which brands you would like us to run with. At the moment we’re looking at Huggalugs and Babylegs.
If you have any opinion on it, let us know, and why you think what you do. The most useful comment will win a set of leg warmers from whichever brand we end up stocking.

Fans on Facebook will know about The Clean Green Nappy Machine 10,000th order competition.
We’ve just calculated that the estimated time left before we hit order no 10,000 is now 46 days! This is based on average sales over the last 6 months from today.
At this rate the 10000th order will be on 24 April. We will make this order completely free - no matter how much it is. So whether you’re buying a roll of paper liners, or birth to potty kits for twins, send us an email as soon as you receive your order confirmation with the coveted 10,000 order number and we’ll refund the full value of your order.

This week, our competition needs you to get your cameras out again! Amongst all of the great ideas for our “Getting Started” page last week was a suggestion to have a gallery displaying cloth nappy babies, and we thought it was a lovely idea.
So please submit your cutest real nappy baby pic to us to be in with a chance to win. They will be going under the section “The cutest bum in town” so they need to look lovely, but don’t necessarily have to show how the nappies work.
Answers need to be submitted via email to sales@cleangreennappy.co.uk, and we will upload them here. Please include your baby’s name so we can give them credit when we upload the pic, as well as your user name from our main website when you send them as this is the name the entry will be submitted under.
Please see the example below to see how your picture will be displayed:
Name: A Another, 18 months
Sent in by: Joanna Bloggs
If we don’t have 10 entries by Friday at 4.30 pm, the competition will roll over to next week. The winner of the picture we think is the absolute cutest will win a single nappy of their choice from our site.
Good luck and happy snappping!

We have launched an excellent new “getting started” feature on our site, which acts as a one-stop-page with all the questions you might have about switching, buying and using real nappies - with links to loads more useful info.
We see it as a work in progress, though, so we thought that for next week’s competition, the person who gives the best - ie most constructive - comment about what we need to add, remove or change to the page, will get a free nappy of their choice.
Good luck, and any questions just ask.

After last week’s wonderful answers, something a little simpler this week. Log into your account at www.cleangreennappy.co.uk and write a review for a product you’ve bought from us. Anything you’ve received from us will be on your account, so even if it was a competition freebie it could get you in with a chance to win.
Please write as honest a review as you’d like. If you think something is great, then by all means say so, but the prize won’t be for the most gushy review, but the one we feel will be the most helpful to other parents. So a nappy which you think every parent needs in their collection could win, but so could a warning of a leaky wrap (although obviously we’re exposing ourselves a bit here!)
We manually approve all reviews on the site - to ensure no inappropriate language/content is used. So this week, if your review is a competition entry, please write in the comment thread on this blog post, your username and the product reviewed. We won’t publish any of the entries until we’ve judged the competition.
As always, competition closes at 4.30pm on Friday, and we’ll be judging over the weekend and announcing the winner next Monday. The prize will be a single nappy of your choice from our current stock.

Hi all
Having just judged the competition we found there were loads of very similar names entering - so in future, please can you use the username you registered with on our site to enter. That way we can make sure we’re not trying to decipher between (as we had to this week) Claire, ClareT, Clare B and Clare M!
So if you haven’t registered on our site, you need to just create an account on www.cleangreennappy.co.uk. If you then use your username as your entry for the competition, it will help us keep all of you distinct in our minds when we judge.
We’re also going to have to ensure that each competition has at least 10 separate entries each week. This is to ensure that there is always a big enough spread of winners to choose from, and that we’re ensuring prizes are fairly distributed amongst as many people as possible.
Thanks for all your great entries, and look forward to this week’s ones.

Great responses to last week’s competition. So can you all apply some of that wonderful maths ability you all displayed, and tell me, based on the number of real nappies you have, how much they cost. Then let me know how much you spend on washing and care, the total cost of real nappies, and how it would compare to disposables. Any ideas of things you could have bought with the money saved etc, will help make your answer more interesting
We have done our own cost comparisons - they’re on the blog here, although they are slightly out of date. And the winner will be the best original/creative answer - so best not take it all from there!
Good luck and good adding up!

A mathematical question today. I had a customer in the shop recently, who told me loudly “of course it’s nonsense that real nappies save you money. You keep buying all the new fluff that comes out and it’s a real addiction!”
I declined to point out that we can factor in everything EXCEPT people’s spending habits! However, I know that all self respecting real nappy users feel the need to keep their hand in and try new things every now and then. Although maybe not as many as the lady who spoke to one of the ladies on a trade stand at a Baby Expo once, and told them she had a secret nappy cupboard, so her husband didn’t know how much cloth she’d bought!
So, the question this week is:
How many real nappies do you have in your collection? Feel free to be descriptive and let us know how many were originals, how many you use, if you’ve got favourites and “bottom of the drawer” nappies.
As ever, the one with the answer we think is the best will win - and the prize is back to the normal one of any single nappy in stock on the website.
