This morning Eric failed to make a considered purchase when he was mooching and perusing in "The Vale" as we call it, our charity shop of choice dans Evesham......
....... when he suddenly realised that we already had two versions of a vase that had initially caught his eye as being quite useful, except that this one was pink whereas our two we have at home are clear, bought from this years Mother's Day range in Home Bargains for just princely sum of £1.29, which Darrell had said at the time, was an absolute steal.
Eric then thought it would be rather nice to make up a tres chic trio if/when flowers Chez Towers were in abundance, however when he caught sight of the price tag, to wit two full kings pounds, he held back. It might not still be available in HB so potentially more collectable now, but that's quite a steep rise on its original price in just a couple of months.
Questions, he mused might need to be asked in Parliament about the rate inflation of Home Bargains Mothers Day vases ........ but only if it's a slow matters arising sort of a day. What is he like?

Well done, remembering the price in HB, Nigel (Eric.)
P.S. HB sounds like a pencil.
Shame....a trio of vases, pink in the middle would have been quite pretty. Never mind, I'm sure a better bargain is just round the corner. JantheFan x
