Yes, of course, but for some reason I seem to have two birthdays every year!

No, I think we have a few! :D

Re: Price of flowers
 

Now.......don't you all be having a dig at my 2 birthdays...:D ;)

I think special occasions are a total rip off as far as florists and card manufacturers go. There's nothing a bigger rip off than weddings. If you hire a room for 50 people, 3 course meal with wine/champagne you'll get a price for it..... Tell them it's a wedding and that price will be inflated by at least a third.

The reason that prices go up on special occasions is because they can. People are made to feel tight if they don't join in these charades. If everybody refused to buy flowers at that price on Mother's day, then the retailers and suppliers would have no choice but to lower their prices. There you go....problem solved. :D
