What price for a jumper?

Madam has a cashmere jumper as her security blanket. We have been regularly harvesting the "big bit" for small "bits" for her to carry around. Big bit resides in her bed until she is ready to go to sleep. Bit looks after her during the day. There are 9 incarnations of bit. All bar two went missing today.

I am fairly resilient when it comes to finding her bit, we have dug it out of a pile of grass at Kingston green, dredged the bottom of the bin, scouered our hedge, climbed hedge, fallen into hedge, muttering incoherent curses whilst Madam looks on, either laughing with her head tilted back or having minor melt down.

I have turned the house upside down for bits today. I can still only find two. Hubby wants me to harvest big bit. Big bit is dwindling, therefore following yohoho inspiration, have logged onto ebay, found green cashmere jumper which is remarbaly similar (RRP £145) and have placed a bid. Question is, what price is a good price for my princess's happiness and my sanity?

Answers on a green cashmere postcard please!

I agree, but, without the jumper, believe me, life would be pretty bad.
