Day 72. Flowers.

I didn't buy these for my Mum. In fact my Mother's Day gift saga deserves a blog post of its own.

At 75p, this rose bouquet from Tesco was too good to leave behind. A little battered around the edges but nothing some ruthless dead heading and trimming couldn't resolve and the two bouquets I bought for such a bargain price actually look pretty stunning for supermarket flowers.

I can't say I'm surprised there were so many reduced bunches. When I nipped out to get some milk on Saturday evening our local store was extremely well stocked. Even taking into account the forgetful teenagers who headed there on Sunday morning, it's fair to say they seem to have over estimated demand.

My Mum would actually have loved these but they wouldn't have travelled well to North Wales. Sometimes you need to treat yourself and I'm certainly worth £1.50.
