Latest addiction

Aditi's latest addiction is Peppa Pig.or people who dont know Peepa, she's a loveable little piggy and her everyday incidents are aired as 5 minute episodes on Channel5. My job every morning is to record them and play them for her when she's having breakfast. She's so attached to it that anything Peppa on the shelves of stores should be bought. And shops add to my trauma as they place character toys and accessories at eye level of the child and it leads to long arguments in the shop. She whines, grumbles and begs me with such pleading eyes that its so difficult to say 'No'. I admit I have given in sometimes and bought a few items Peppa, but largely managed to stay away. We also bought a few DVDs that keep her occupied when I'm away on weekends. I understand that the Peppa phase will go away on its own to be replaced by some other character, but its so terrible sometimes that I no longer fell comfortable to take her shopping to any supermarkets. Or I try to stay away from those shelves.
On another note, I have a new car all to myself and an automatic one too. For a second car, we decided to go for an automatic and its been a good decision. One of the main reasons to buy a car was to minimize the travel effort and make our journeys comfortable and it serves that purpose to a T.There is only one disadvantage from my view point - its not as economical as the manual one, but its perfect for me as we only do city trips on this one. Its a smaller car than the BMW, but boasts of a much larger boot space. Overall a great buy which has prompted others in our friends circle to consider buying a second car.
