Spotted! 100 Daffodil Bulbs for under £9!

Katy and I agree on most things, but daffodils are the cause of much heated debate each year. I love ’em. She… doesn’t. I know, right?

So I might’ve squeaked a bit when I saw this little pair of magic-ness over on tReds. They’re ‘Street’ Converse; they *look* like Converse, but they’re leather. And fleece-lined too! Genius!...
