...... a bit sad, and probably pointless, but it does make me feel a bit better, I now email all these companies I used to buy from to explain that they have lost my business because it is insulting to see how they are courting IGers and neglecting people who actually have to use real money to buy things. I do know that I am one small person but, honestly, it does make me feel better. If, and I think we all accept it now, these IGers are business people earning a living out of what they do (and very good luck to them) there just needs to be a little bit more honesty about it. The IGers do it to make money, the companies court them to make money, and we buy it because we are persuaded that we absolutely #must, yes,#musthave have it to keep up with these glossy folk. Hey, I deserve it/need it - I #must, yes #must be rewarded for doing all those things we have always done. It is actually quite strange to me as a full time working mother how badly treated I have always been....... just feeling grateful to all these IGers for telling me that. And, if either my mother (also a full time working mother) or my father were alive now I know exactly what advice they would be giving me......... and it wouldn't be polite!
