The Cat....And The Nursery - a Neverending Love Affair

The cat has had this obsession with getting in everything meant for baby. This includes - the portable basinette, the prams (both of them) the change table, the cot, the bouncing basinette, the rocking basinette, the nappy bag et al...............also killing soft plush toys...namely a lamb, a giraffe and a bear.

I keep being told by various people that this is the cat's way of asserting dominance over the new (yet to be born) baby...I'm like how can that be?? she hasn't even seen a baby before....she knows somethings up with me, and she's been kicked off my belly a few times by the bubba but other than that she has no knowledge of what is about to assault her senses :)

I think it's part of the old adage: 'my cat likes to hide in boxes'.....she just likes to get in things - and she likes soft toys.....

So whenever she's awfully quiet and I realise I haven't seen her for a while I have this sense of dread wash over me........

BABY SHOWER 30th Oct

So Slack - So Sorry. No Baby Yet, but have a new MIMCO baby!

I can't believe how long its been since my last post!.....2 months. That's horrendous. Even for me.

So the much awaited for MIMCO Castaway bag came into stores - it's a quirky take on the signature classic button bag. Having a much publicised obsession with buttons - especialy BIG ones this bag was an obvious must for me. The first ever button bag I bought was in the honey leather and I still ave it and use it to this day. I bought that in 2004 and after 6 years it doesn't even look used!

I have to admit to being somewhat slightly disappointed when I headed into the Chadstone MIMCO boutique to see the bag - I knew it was going to be a quilted denim but in all the campaign photos it looked like it was a lilac/mauve colour.

I cracked the shits and told the MIMCO girl I hated it! LOL.

In the end I ended up using my gift voucher and buying it (as my Nappy bag) and also the Geranium button bag (pictured below) which is actually more pink than red and is just gorgeous!

So I suspect the Castaway bag will NOT become a nappy bag but that's okay....I've just sold 5 bags on ebay ;)
