i can't have any more children so got somewhat upset when i just sat down to my bowl of cereal to open my mail and find this glossy magazine with a covering letter gushing about the editors newly arrived daughter and how the portland is having a baby boom of a year. i am pretty sure that i am not the only female to have been upset opening up this whilst eating their toast. even if a miracle were to occur and i was to fall pg there is sweet fanny adams of a chance of me having it at the portland anyway :) the lady behind this rag is a lucky lady, i just didn't want this falling on my door mat. its one thing to keep getting shite clothing catalogues but i could really have done without this. i am hormoned up to the trees and above and could really have done without it. (nice mag if you are pg or with newborn!). rant over

Why are you on their mailing list?

Sorry you've had a crap start to the day. Can't you just phone them and ask them to take you off the database?

hi worra - no idea. i guess some childrens related companies sell their mailing list on (saw a documentary about this kind of thing). i have a dd of 9 and used to, still do a bit, get lots of baby/toddler related stuff in the post. i'm ok about it now, just a bit of a shock, but i am a tough thing on this subject usually, i hide it deep in the back of my mind only when something like this catches you off guard it pops out. i still had a flick through it though :) very plush & fancy
