Hi
I have half a doz pairs of new unused plastic pants (to put over
nappies) which are unused (I didn't get on with htese, and used wraps
instead) if they're helpful to you? I've aso got newborn vests etc
I'm clearing out now, plus various other things. It'd be nice for
them to go somewhere useful!
