My Year in Photos – January 22nd – “How not to save money”
I headed down to the trendy shopping street in Chiswick today (I’m assuming there’s not many of these streets, or I’d have found them by now!) to buy a baby gift for some friends of ours who have recently had a baby. As you’d expect on a street of trendy boutiques, there were lots of very pricey-looking shops to choose from, but this seemed like the best bet for baby thins (judging by the name!).
I ended up getting some very nice gifts in their sale (I won’t reveal what, in case they are reading this!) but was pretty impressively shocked to see some “Baby Dior” booties on sale in this shop – for NINETY POUNDS! Considering toddlers apparently change shoe size every six weeks, that’s quite an impressive habit to have to keep… I think I’ll stick with Mothercare!
My Year in Photos – January 9th – “Toys, toys, toys”
Rather than post yet *another* shot of the snow today (and believe me, I’ve taken LOADS!) I thought I’d choose a shot which represented our day much better. Namely, our trip to Toys R Us! Due to the aforementioned snow, it’s quite hard to get very far without coming a-cropper, so a trip to the Forbury retail park was about all we could muster – and after that we felt like we’d had a full day out! Robert was like the proverbial kid in a sweet shop, wandering round playing with every toy he could reach. We managed to bag some good bargains for his birthday in June, which is cool. Yes, our life really is this exciting : )
