Cupboard locks

A question about : Cupboard locks

Would love some advice from you experienced parents out there!
I am in the process of adopting a little one and need to get cupboard locks for the kitchen.

I wondered if you would recommend screw in or adhesive types? I do not really want to have to drill into the cupboards so thought about the stick on ones but then wondered how easy they are to remove once I don't need them anymore?

I know that you can also get magnetic type ones but these seem very expensive and I need quite a few.

Thanks for your advice.

Rubbish days

A question about : Rubbish days

Does anyone else ever feel like a bit of a rubbish mum (or Dad)?

I feel tired constantly at the moment. I have a heavy 5 month old baby who can't sit up on her own yet so requires a lot of carrying (can't get on with slings btw..have tried), and a 3 year old who is going through a 'challenging' stage (don't they all!)

Cloth nappies

A question about : Cloth nappies

I've just bought a wad of cloth nappies online to try and save money, with 2 in nappies full time and both with digestive problems I'm just weighing up if it's really saving me anything,
Nappies need to be rinsed, then washed at 60 then extra rinse, then as I need them to be dry in time I hang them to dry on an airer but then finishes them in the tumble dryer else I don't get then dry in time for the next wear iykwim. I have no idea at the cost of this but I wash every other day.

Help

My son uttered those dreaded words to me this morning, Mum did you know its pancake day soon

I believe myself to be a good cook and can even turn my hand to a spot of baking but cannot for the life of me make a decent pancake, I either burn them or they are a sloppy mess!
