The Future

It started trying to pick out some clothes as a present for 18 month year old twins. I realised that I actually knew very little about children. Realising it was impossible to measure children by miming big fish little fish, cardboard box to guess the size of the child. and being told off for describing some of the 18-36 month clothing as "slutty". I felt leaving the pursuit of the two outfits and looking at other things with 2 to 3 year old labels on ... such as in the wine Isle.

Then I felt a change. Actually shopping for a child would make me appreciate needs and practicality. By "needs" I don't just mean should I buy some fruit this week or blow my budget on Jammy dodgers! I think I actually want to be good at this paternal business. Only the other day I was discussing the impracticality of owning the new Ferrari FF Italia as it only has tiny rear seats, with the average owner keeping their car for 3-5 years I'd be 26 and hopefully starting a family, It just wouldn't be practical putting a baby in the boot.
(ok we were talking about the Ford Fiesta) but still you see my point! I've got to start planning for the future!

I've felt myself adopting a new perspectives to money and lifestyle, ways of thinking my parents have been explaining to me since a child, and to be quiet frank I've scared myself! I truly have! Only today in Sainsburys I picked up an x Box 360 and then told myself (stupidly out loud while on my own) "put it down, You don't need it! you need to buy fruit and avoid the cake isle! For some one who's just had his student loan. I think thats a very scary (but wise) thing to happen. I never though I'd be repeating my parents but still it actually made sense.

I might have strayed down the cake isle just a little bit, I'm not pretending I'm perfect just yet!

and I forgot the bloody potatoes AGAIN!!!
