Nothing Cheap Ever Passed Muster For Ma In Law

We live in a buy cheap and throw away society – due to much less expensive manufacture of almost everything we buy and our lack of sentimentality when it comes to retaining anything.   Well this is the perception amongst members of the ‘goody brigade .  Quite often these are the ‘do as I say but not as I do’ brigade also.  I had the unpleasant task of helping my newlty bereaved sister in law to empty the room that her mother had in a local high end care home.  Poor old girl, now she certainly bucked the trend for buying cheap.  Nothing was further than the truth for this lady.  Very generous with her money she would never buy cheap goods.  Always it was full named makes for everything in her house was branded goods and that extended to the garden, furniture furnishings etc.  When Mum had any work done on her bungalow, it was always a named company – not the little cash under the counter odd job man….  If there was a new tv needed, then it would come from a proper television shop and the owner would come out to oversee delivery and installation  Everything Mum in law bought, be it services, things, clothes, shoes ec.  all had to be the every best of their type.  How lucky are we that have inherited them now!
