Happy New Year Everyone

If like myself you return back to deal with reality and the world of work and the credit crunch then chin up and off you go. I must say it has been a really hectic festive season for me this time round and it has made me count my blessings time and time again that I have a boy and not a girl. I am still recovering from the obscene amount of Barbie dolls that I have had to purchase for my friends' girls. Each a different Barbie, each in a different store, each with a different name and accessory kit. It was horrendous. All my son wanted was Star Wars and anything in that category would have made him as happy as a button but not those Barbie seeking girls. But, I must admit even I was tempted into one or two but resisted (surprisingly with difficulty) at the last moment.

Well, reading The Guardian this morning I came across a feature they had about Barbie in their life and style section as the doll turns 50. I must say she looks really good for a gal her age.


Happy New Year everyone!
