    I'm not exactly known for having a great filter between mind and broadcast.

    Although this only works if you really dont like lit. Otherwise your stuffed.

    At the risk of being called any sort ofname under the sun, you could "accidentally" knock it off of a table and tell them being all apologetic and such if you REALLY want rid of it.

    LOL, that's exactly what OH suggested! As much as I appreciate the gesture I just don't 'get' it... the colours of the vase are too dark to match our decor and it's a ceramic one with a glazed outside... and a sticker on the bottom saying 'Not Waterproof' so we can't even use it for real flowers! Where's the confused smiley when you need it?! :rotfl:

    I think that we might have to get them round for drinks and as we're showing it off to everyone, accidentally knock it off the table so they can see it was a genuine accident! ;)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Or do it when their not there if your acting skills are crap. But yes let them see it having pride of place first.

    Well my acting skills are pretty good (lying comes a little too easily...) but OH would let me down as he'd just laugh so maybe we should let them see it on display a few times then tell them the sad story of it's untimely demise, via text so OH can't give anything away ;)

    Speaking of unwanted clutter and 'breaking' things, whatever became of the rugby head?

    Could you maybe use if for real flowers and pretend you hadn't seen the sticker? Would be an honest mistake - whoever heard of a non-waterproof vase?!!!

    Ahhh excellent idea there Tete! You are a clever chicken! :)

    Oh the rugby head...it is still on top of the wardrobe, I have tried dropping it but the darn thing is invincible! :rotfl:

    How's your manky toe?!

    Sadly this is (or certainly used to be) household income, and we're way above it.
