    OK, so final damage - 2 Radley & 2 Tula (Radley's cheaper little sister) bags, including postage £70. So am actually quite pleased with that. I like bags :o, but tend to buy cheap ones from a bag shop near me (which also sells leather ones at up to £80, always manage to avoid those). Am fed up of having a lot of crap bags. So, 1 black Radley, 1 red Radley & 2 brown Tula (1 big, one small). Will carry on looking for a tan one, then that will be it. (Fingers crossed ;))

    Edit: That's over one day's capital & interest repayment if I want to pay off all by 55, so, if I miss it by one day they will come back to haunt me :eek: _pale_

    :rotfl:Naughty. But i like it.

    I am not overly into names on things, but i have a lovely little Radley bought for me when i was bridesmaid for a friend, and when i bought my nappy bag i splashed out and bought a kipling one. It was £65 but i have been using it every time i take the kids out for nearly 4 years so i make that a bargain. :D

    I might need a nice bag though for when the kids are that bit bigger and i don't need quite as much stuff when we go out. ;)
