Shopaholic in the making?

A think I thought today was that maybe my friends are right

Since Sophie Kinsella first published “ The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic”  my friends have likened me to the main character Becky Bloomwood.   When the latest in the series of books was published “mini shopaholic” Laughing to themselves these friends said “that will be you!” “no no no” I protested.

Well  it seems the friends are right and I was wrong. 

Miss D loves to shop!!! She has very definite opinions about what she likes and dislikes and asks to go to the shops even naming her favourites (currently Asda and Mark Spencer). While going into town with Mr D to get a secret present for moi she said in the car “oooooo this is where I come with my mummy” While out as a family Miss D will ask to get a coffee in Costa “we go coffee in Costa mummy?”

I think I have created a monster! We don’t even go shopping that often as I try to avoid taking the buggy into the city centre although I admit we often pop to Costa for a coffee with friends but surely this is learning social skills?????

I used to laugh that the first numbers Miss D would learn would be Daddy’s PIN number  but I am now getting worried this is going to be true. I don’t think Mr D could handle two shopaholics in the family (well his bank account couldn't!).

As long as her tastes stay reasonable i.e. high street I think we can work with this although I think lessons in you can’t always get what you want are next on the agenda!
