Love me a Bargain

13 August 2006, 15:26

I like to think of it as being savvy rather than cheap. Picked up these little beauties, 5 entire scoutfits (3 brand new) and a fisher-price toy all for $40 at the Baby and Kids Market. The Market alternates between Malvern, Hawthorn, Berwick and Box Hill, roughly every month. They have big-ticket items as well – prams, highchairs, safety gates, cots etc.

Love me a Bargain

On the way home, I saw something I never ever thought I’d see in Australia – someone Chucking a Britney on Elgar Road. I was in the car with a couple of girlfriends when we all did a double-take, swearing to god we didn’t just see a woman with a roughly 3-4 month old baby driving unrestrained on her lap. Alas, we saw just that.

“N”, who was driving, overtook her on the left, beeped her horn like a demon possessed and yelled No, No, NO!!!! You can’t do that, you can’t do that. The stupid woman looked over (hard to miss a chorus of outraged mums shrieking at you) but completely ignored us. We got her number plate, too, the idiot. What part of You Stupid, Careless, Dumbfucking Ignoramus did she not understand? It’s times like these I really think you need to have a licence before you’re allowed to have a kid.

  1. Cool! Thanks for the tip, Kinki. I live in Box Hill, so that’s pretty handy.
    Re Britney…unbelieveable. My cynical husband calls it “natural selection”.

  2. Scoutfit – love it.

    Doing the Britney – if you required a licence before having a kid then they are exactly the type of people who would lose it. And then what are you left with? Not fit to be a parent. Hope you dobbed her in.

  4. Yes, I do enjoy sitting down with the newspaper, a pencil, and a cuppa, and completing one now and then.
