I don't think there is a Mum of teenage daughter's who doesn't at some point face this universal problem. For quite a while now daughter number two, Middley aka Budge has had her beady eye on my wardrobe, my bags and my shoes! She did borrow , and I put those words in the loosest of contents, a couple of pairs of my winter boots last year - when they were returned after she had out grown them, well - lets just say I am still two pairs of winter boots down!
Lately she has taken a shine to my clothes and bags - oh and jewelry too - infact anything of mine that I don't throw myself across and yell "Noooooooo!!" at the top of my lungs at, because you see although I love my daughter's dearly and I am flattered Budge really loves my style - she is absolutely shockingly terrible at looking after my clothes, shoes and bags!!! Many a time I have lent her a bag, only to walk in and find it sitting in a puddle of spilt milk on the kitchen table, or a dress which she has spilt food down and left a small stain, or totally annihilated a pair of boots due to wanton lack of care - Arghhhhhh!!!
I have only one pair of jeans left in my wardrobe at the moment due to child theft depletion. I will often find them rummaging in my wardrobes looking for certain key items, and it's not unknown for me to catch them walking out with one of my tops on. Me - I am waiting for the day that they out grow my wardrobe, being that I am only 5ft 2" - Diggy has passed me in clothes now. Whilst Budge is still growing through my wardrobe - now I just have to fend the last of my pieces from up and coming little Pickle!
