    Well the 2 Radley & 1 Tula bags have arrived & I am really pleased with them, especially the red one which has supposedly been used a few times - smell of fresh leather hit me as I took it out of bag :). 1 more to go :) Oh, and slippers I ordered are here too (it was v v cold last Sat night :o). And ordered a new wiifit [STRIKE]game[/STRIKE] strict exercise regime last night also :o.

    No more spending, except I need some new cardis so will be hitting Monsoon etc. Saturday. Don't mind paying £38 for a cardi from there as they last forever (unless you leave it on station bench & some !!!!!! pinches it :o)

    I am so not a girl when it comes to bags and shoes, they just do not bother me in the slightest. I do not see the point in buying lots and lots of them and for a lot of money and then hardly use them! I know I'm an alien :D

    I love Radley Bags too. Have a few bags and a couple of purses. For me this week it has been (Ugg Boots) If i hide them in brackets DH wont see them :o One pair arrived yesterday from ebay, and the second pair arrived today. Went to Post Office to get them when DH was out. So when I wear them I can say they are not new, have had them for ages :D As we are paying double the expected mortgage payment a couple of treats every now and then wont hurt, will it :D

    If you really go for it you can work yourself up into a paddy and accuse him of never noticing anything you wear. Not that I would ever do such a thing you understand ;).

    Pammy - :eek: are you for real :eek:. Am sure you have other vices though, we just haven't uncovered them yet :rotfl:

    EDIT: Just sniffed my new bag :)

    DH never listens to me properly anyway so i am sure i could tell him i had bought something ages ago and he would believe me. :D

    What Wii game? I have the Jillian Michaels one but don't use it much. Had to have it though when it came out last year. :o

    Wii fit plus I think it's called. Basically seems to have more features than original & you can set own programme which is what I'm after.

    Jillian Michaels - is that her off Biggest Loser USA :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:. I wouldn't be brave enough to buy it, let alone do it :o
