Why couldn't I see this coming? Now I've got TWO clocks — one a birthday present, and one I appear to have bought at auction for the astonishing sum of £300!
Wilson's clock did sell on eBay last night. To me! The bid I placed — at his insistence, simply to pique bidders' interest — was the only bid received so I was, as he put it, 'The lucky winner!'
W banked my £300 this morning before hanging the clock in the hall next to my almost-identical birthday clock.
He told me not to feel bad about the money as he would donate 'most of it' to our Winter Holiday fund.
I was unaware that we even had a Winter Holiday fund — this is almost certainly the only money in it!
