    I bought a trike a few years ago. I met her husband, paid up, and he told me that it was her hobby (it wasn't, it hadn't even had the nuts tightened up on the seat or brakes), but now she was into reborn dolls. He met me in kings Lynn, 'bout halfway between him and us, as he was collecting a pram for her dolls ~ she had twins, and wanted a Silver Cross carriage pram.

    I presumed, therefore, that she was planning to take her 'twins' out in it. Her feedback showed lots of baby purchases, in particular hand knitted stuff. I assumed she had a baby, hence getting rid of the trike.

    It's very not normal..... I feel desperately sorry for those who've lost babies, and I guess I can understand why someone would want a tribute to their lost child made, but those who take them out, change their clothes etc. How can they ever come to terms with their loss and move on? surely grief counselling would be more constructive?
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.
