    I saw a lovely D&G bag last night and nearly succumbed but decided to wait a few days and then if I still wanted it think again - sensible or what?!

    It's taken me ages to catch up.....

    Doodledoo! Congrats I think - have you exchanged numbers yet?

    PAID ! Shelley! Luckily for me I just don't get the handbag thing.... I also manage to pay for many of my luxuries / gifts to others during the year thro the £10 a day challenge.... Perhaps you could give that a go... find a (clean) way of raising extra cash to fund your handbags??

    Don't make Cafcgirl give up her day job to keep an eye on you lol :)

    Ooh handbags! I want the Orla Keily cabin bag. It is down from £160 to £127 in Debenhams. Would be so useful for weekend trips home to Ireland. Have wanted it for about 6 months!
