A mum was left red-faced after splashing out on a B&M paddling pool with a slide for her daughters - only to realise it was 'doll-sized'. Louise Smart popped to the branch of the budget retailer and spotted the Staycation Paddling Pool With Slide on sale for £15.
The mum-of-two decided to treat Isla Smart, four, and 10-year-old Amelia Smart to the paddling pool so they could play in it while the weather was warm. But the tanning studio manager's jaw dropped when she brought the pool home, took it out of the packaging and realised just how small it was - having not checked the dimensions.
An hilarious photo shows a clearly-tickled Isla sitting in the pool with her head resting on the slide and her legs hanging out over the side. Despite being disappointed and embarrassed about her paddling pool blunder, the 33-year-old said although Isla did comment 'it's a bit small' she's thrilled with it and now plays hook-a-duck in it.
