Flower power! 

It shouldn't be all that difficult to correct, but £15 is a bit much for a phone that will have to be stripped.

Ummmmm....
Can I secretly admit that I actually like it?  :-\
The fact the someone has actually given the phone a personal name suggests it was well loved. Certainly more that can be said for many a beat-up junker phone out there.
Or may be I've just really bad taste  :P
