“As one door closes” and all that
it wasn’t long ago I was bewailing the fact that all the lovely clothes in her "too big" drawer were gone - all grown in and back out of again and gone to the charity shop. I used to have a friend who passed on all her daughters clothes but she fell out with me when she finally realised that I was never going to convert to Goddess worship and vegetarianism…. or was it when she passed her driving test and didn’t need me any more, cna’t remember now….
Anyway, the cupboard was bare, until Aprilia went out for a daytrip with Harley and Lola to see a mutual friend of ours whose sister has just had a wonderfully healthy little boy - the one I made the gown, hat and bootees for as he wasn’t supposed to live more than a day and they wanted him Baptising in something other than a hospital gown….. they donated the set to the local SCBU seeing as he was in positively rude health 
This lady already has 2 girls, the younger one is 9 and just a size or two bigger than Aprilia so guess what? She’s got 2 sets of pink satin PJs, 3 reletively modest bikinis, trackies, teeshirts, shorts….. 2 carrier bags crammed full of goodies!!! But I did have to laugh… she also has a 30aa "bra" - basically 2 flat "cups" and a few bits of elastic - which she is ridiculously proud of owning 
Meanwhile I was merrily sat trying to draft out an answer to the first part of my first TMA on the course I don’t officially start for another 4 weeks. I have 200 words so far…. only another 550 to go
