    You sure Jinky?

    It's brand new and free to a good home - I won a subscription to Eve in a competition on Mumsnet.com, but Eve is going out of print - so they've sent me that bag instead. I do like it but I won't use it, I have 2 lovely leather bags that were gifts so I have to use a lot! And a big slouchy one when I have more to carry. As well as a poncey Skip Hop changing bag for when out with the baby - so really no use at all for it.

    Christmas present for anyone?

    I am going spare here, DS is a ball of energy today, might go out soon, but where. Argh. Too wet for the park, not sure where would be suitable for lunch - and not so brave on my own - maybe a drive to get him to have a nap. Not very MSE is it!
    ermmmm e-bay!! you could always spend the money you make on something nice for you or elliot! or a Xmas prezzie for a female family member!!

    I received a £10 voucher for Forzieri a couple of weeks ago. And following the bag discussion at the beginning of the week I had a browse.......:eek:

    :confused: I think I'm missing something here.

    Could anyone use the voucher? I sort of liked some Alessi ice cream spoons.....but after delivery etc they were still £11, so not really money saving as I could save £11 by not buying anything. :o

    I think I'm probably just sad & middle aged.
    You could always e-bay it?? even if you only get a fiver it's still a fiver failing that you could give it as a xmas prezzie...:D

    Morning all!

    Cant feel the friday feeling this morning as i work 12 hour night shifts in Jn1 so im about to head off to bed as im back in tonight and all weekend,, 4 on 4 off is a swine at times! Also just finished 2 hours of Jn2 so pretty shattered now! zzzzzz

    Checked online banking this morning to find out Vodaphone had taken the direct debit out twice this month ... hmmm so i called them to ask them to put it back to be told " yes and it will take up to 7 days" :mad:.... Good job i was paid last week and not totally relying on this money or it would have stitched me up had it been all i had!...

    Have a great friday all... fingers crossed i will be steady at work tonight as this is one of the sites thats not blocked! :j

    It's a lovely bag DD - agree with Jet, get it on eBay and get something you want/ need!

    Oh now I'm into this on-line shopping, I haven't checked out yet, but I have a make your own Morph for DS1, and a Synthesisor for BIL in my basket.

    Stop me someone quick - though I do have the money in my PayPal account, and they had sold out of Synthesisors last year when OH & I decided BIL would love one......:o
  • With the new ebay rules I have no interest in selling, would rather pass it on to someone who needs it really :confused:

    Took DS for a drive and got lost :rolleyes: at least he slept though!
