How much litres does you washing machine take? and what is your average monthly consume on water (and is it significant to the bills)?

I don't know! We got a new machine when I was pregnant though or just before. It's a triple A rating so you can't get much better. Our water bills aren't metered here so I don't know if it would make a difference on the meter. There are calculations made about reusables and all the energy needed and they are still supposed to come out cheaper overall than disposable even if they are washed at 90 (for example through a laundry service). We wash at 60 though.

My SIL uses reusables for her baby (or she did, he's three now) and they have water meter and find they pay much less for water now than they used to before they had a meter so I don't suppose it can make much difference!

I shall 100% be using disposables. One of the main reasons is that when I suggested cloths to hubby he said if we used them he wouldn't be changing any nappies! I wasn't overly bothered about using them anyway so when hubby said this, it was easy to decide. I know it's not good that they go to landfill and all but I really am not that bothered about using disposables x

^^ there are some really good eco friendly disposables on the market now so if you were worried about the enviromental side of things that is always an option

I'll be honest, I'm not worried about landfills. What I am worried about is saving money. That's one of the reason for me BFing and CDing. Although they both better for baby when is another reason but I won't be working and I need to save as much money as possible. I'll also be making my own diaper wipe mixture to help save money.
