For a whole variety of reasons, not least that shopping on this island is impossible.
No where, no where stocks tiny/ early baby sized vests and babygros, You can get hideously overpriced "outfits" but standard white/ blue/ cream sleepsuits with poppers in packs? No.
No where, no where, stocks nursing bras above a G fitting. Only 2 shops actually stock them at all and they're hideous. Honestly even if they fitted I wouldn't put my grandma in them (And she's been dead and gone for years!)
When I queried this I was told "They don't make them", oh yes they do! "Ah but these are comfortable" - the girl was about 18 with a flat as a pancake tummy - "Have you worn one?" I asked.
"Well, no..."
I asked who bought their underwear in for them - it was a man's name... Hmm there's a chance that might explain a bit.
In M&S I was told, by the store manager, "You could order on-line" well yes, but not from M&S as the franchise doesn't allow you to order unless it's delivered to the store, "I think you can," she said. I sighed and pointed to the other staff members, all shaking their heads, "No, you can't". "Oh!" She said, 'well, I'm new..."
We need a booster seat for the tallest child in the car, the kind that means you can chuck it about - and access all the seats, and we need a bouncy/ rocker/ swinging chair or two for the babies. I looked on the "Toys R Us" website and found what I wanted, I put them in my "basket" and checked delivery. Apparently we're a "remote island" and they don't deliver to remote islands. I closed the site down.
They emailed me to ask why I hadn't checked out.
We went to the local shop (for local people!) that stocks both. Only they don't, not any more.
I bought a changing mat....
No idea what I'm doing about the rest.
Sighing and moaning mostly...
Email me your shopping list and I'll ship it over to you. It must be like living in 1975 :)
