Then There were Two...

 Master T is off to camp today for a few days so that just leaves Miss Teenie and I. I have planned a bit of Thai takeaway and a movie tonight and tomorrow she wants to do a bit of clothes shopping. she has organised to meet 3 friends and 'all the Mothers can have dinner together'. Sounds great as I l-o-v-e all the friend's's Mothers. Great bunch of gals. But. It won't work that way.

Why?


Because my plan is to give Miss T a certain amount of money and she can go off and spend it wisely. There is the problem. She won't be able to decide on what to buy/ what looks good/ needs more money. I know her. She took a drink bottle back once that she bought at Smiggle. Buyers Remorse big time. Despite doing her homework, cost effectiveness studies and the like. She can't make a decision. God love her. I wonder is it because I used to make all her decisions or that she just gets overwhelmed at the finality of a purchase?

Don't know

But....

One of my big time hobbies when I was really poor was to buy items from Myers. And take them back. Then buy something else. Then take it back. Not sure why. Spending the same money over and over? Buyers remorse? I lived in fear of being black-listed. Miss T was but a baby when this was my hobby. she couldn't possibly have known...


Hmmmm. Maybe there is more to this business of inherited traits that meets they eye. Maybe it goes further than blonde hair and blue eyes (which Miss T has a-n-d I will point out, neither her Dad nor myself do). Maybe there is something deeper.

Can one inherit shopping styles??

Will let you know how we go......



 Ciao for now...

  1. My mother always used to laybuy when I was young. Now I find that whenever money gets tight, I laybuy everything. I seem to have had lots of laybuys since we started renovating...
