Philippa has gone a bit spend-crazy. I'm not sure why we need half the things we need when we already have a child and so surely must have already purchased everything we might need for a baby, but she seems determined to buy up the entire stock of product from the local Mothercare warehouse. There seems to be no easier target on Earth for advertisers than pregnant women awash with happy hormones. Give even a hint that an item can provide a tiny iota of comfort to an infant and Mum will be reaching for the credit card quicker than a cat reaches for a strand of wool. Offer a suggestion that a new invention will solve a problem that mothers hadn't realised had ever been an issue (because it wasn't) and your profits will soar like an eagle caught in an updraft. I'd like to hide her purse somewhere and put a stop to her spending, but who am I to spoil her fun?
(I'll just wait until Junior 2 outgrows everything and then sell it all off on eBay.)
