Glowing, glowing....gone.

Last week, I lost one of my favourite earrings. So today, I thought I'd buy myself a lovely new pair that I'd noticed in a local gift shop. They were silver with blue topaz stones, and the handwritten price ticket read 55.50, which I thought was ok.

When I got to the till though, and offered three twenty pound notes - the assistant laughed....

'I don't think you've read the price correctly.' she said.

Buggerit, I thought - it had seemed too good to be true. I must have missed a digit.

The assistant showed me the price ticket again...and to my amazement, it was £5.50! Five pounds fifty! Five pounds fifty!

Somehow, I don't think they're solid silver......
