So. Many. Questions.  "Being totally caught on the hop I ended up saying it must be a mistake and had no idea how it got there, so you can only imagine her disapointment.  "I could have just said I ordered it for her as a surprise for being so well behaved recently - but A) she's a being a bit of a diva at the moment and B) it cost me £39.99 - and my mid-year treats don't usually cost me that much.  "Plus I'd have to do the same for my son, so I'd be £80 down through no fault of my own."  Now the mum is in a dilemm
