On being nearly new.

March 8, 2008 by Solnushka

You went to an NCT sale today. Elbows at dawn to hold off all the other mums or mums-to-be as you all dive simultaneously for that Natty Designer Babysock sort of thing.

You went with Best Friend, as it occurred to you that having a bone fide mother in tow might help you start to navigate your way through the frightening wilderness of Things You Do Not Know About Having A Baby. In this case, specifically, clothes.

What, for example is the difference between a bodysuit, a babygrow and a growbag, how many pairs of cutely logoed vests do you need and exactly what is this actually for?

You set off this morning blithely declaring that you weren’t actually going to buy anything, this was merely a reconnaissance mission.

B refrained from commenting and stuffed a handful of notes into you purse.

You now have two very large plastic bags full of Darling Little Outfits.

Some of them don’t have a hint of blue on them.

Nearly new is the way to go! And I’m sure those outfits are completely darling. Glad you had fun at the sale.

We were the last people there and were politely asked to leave and everything. Nothing like a good rummage.

You are married to a smart man.

He’s been trying to tell me that for years…

Well there is something mildly annoying about someone slipping some cash in your bag just in case when you say “Oh no I will not need that” but then you have to think to yourself later when you do, “Oh what a smart man.” [smile]

Although I have to say that I very rarely actually mind people slipping money into my bag…
