to not be surprised Mothercare are in trouble

[moogster1a]

Apparently they're shutting over 100 of their shops.
TBH I'm not surprised people are shunning them. Overpriced compared to tthe same quality in ASDA Tesco etc..

I was pleasantly surpised with maternity clothes. As a larger lady I have found shopping difficult.
I got 2 dresses in the sale for £34 which I thought was ok. The member of staff was really helpful. She offered to order in another dress for me which was half price in their store but full price in other stores and online and sell it at the reduced price.
I was impressed.

Ah Motherare bashing - fave MN pastime. Tend to agree though...

We lived right next to a huge Mothercare before we moved. I bought a lot of plastic tat there on raining days. It is still possibly the closest large baby shop to us but I haven't been in there since we moved, except to buy a buggy.

IsSamNormansDad Bollocks, that'll teach me to look at the dates in future.
