Why I am not a multi-millionaire

I only recently discovered what used to be called the Baa Baa Blind and is now called the Gro Anywhere Blind. Brilliant idea – if I had thought of that instead of fiddling around at uni and stuff, I would be multi-millionaire now and enjoying the calming atmosphere of my Philippe Stark accessorised home, instead of the shrine to Ikea I find myself living in.  Not that I am bagging Ikea, I LOVE Ikea. I come up with excuses to drive out there at least once a fortnight. Still – if you had told me when I was buying my first Billy when I was 19 that I would still be buying them when I was 30-something (the fight about whether I am in my early or mid 30s will continue until I am in my 40s), I would have laughed scornfully. I can do a good scornful laugh too – ask my family. And if you don’t know what a Billy is, shame on you. Or perhaps good on you for not wasting your time at uni and inventing the Baa Baa Blind. Or the internet or something.  I should do a whole post on Ikea. That way I would not waste time when I am supposed to be commenting on the Baa Baa Blind. Anyway. The blind. It has annoying little sheep all over it because most people need to be reminded they are in a nursery – the cot, the change table and the mountains of hideous plastic toys not being a dead giveaway – but it does what it is supposed to. Blocks out all the light. And is stuck up with suction caps so you can TAKE IT WITH YOU. Or take it down when your child no longer needs to conform to Gina Ford darkness dictats. And then put it back up when the clocks change and your child is getting up at 5am and if they don’t start sleeping in you will murder them with an axe go a bit crazy. Anyway – great idea. I have bought one for home/travel and a couple for friends.  This is where you can buy them from in the UK , and here for Australia, but they seem to sell them lots of places online around the world. Google it on the internet. You probably invented it so you should know how.
