Enough all ready ~ such conspicuous consumption in these hard times is too much for us back here in Blighty.














Glad you had a nice Birthday LL

I know... shame on me... 

[Nick]

Do they werk?

[Snoopy]

Well ~ if someone collects plates (and they can be very expensive) and you buy some more for that collection it does show thought, care of choice (so as not to duplicate) and, depending on the maker of said pates, could cost quite a bit. Aromatherapy candles ain't cheap either ~ ask Mr Wench

BiL bought a set of three plates for his Parents about five years ago ~ cost him well over £200 as they were a limited edition

So on balance I reckon the award for Tightwad of the Birthday season belongs to ....................  
MRS NICK!
