    Postie van just came with my Radley purse and Ebay bargain Radley briefcase, it's tag is missing though. (I knew this when i bought it!)

    I was a litle naughty :rolleyes: and emailed Radley saying that the tag from my other Radley has been stolen and gave them the model & batch number etc.
    A beautiful new turquoise tag arrived today as well :T:T:T

    My bad?

    You not bad Linda hun, you are resourceful :D

    Reminds me of my little escapade on Saturday when I fell off the no spending wagon. A local shop was having 25% off everything, so I went in a chose a Radley, this one in buttermilk to be precise http://www.radley.co.uk/en-gb/ProductDetails/?pid=RHNDDAY&cid=RHND&language=en-GB
    and it was £135, I also picked up new purse at £48 and new passport cover at £28. anyway, the bag had a tiny tiny mark on it and I asked if there were anymore, she said no but she would give me an extra 10% off, so I said ok. Anyhow, she managed to mess the whole thing up when putting it through the till as she took the 35% off the price of the bag, then the till automatically took 25% off everything, and I ended up getting £211 worth of Radley goods for £125.35, so I paid and ran out the shop. Am I bad?

    Pepe I haven't really got any money to offer all peeps full and finals but three of my creditors have off their own back offered me settlements. However, I am a bit unsure as to how it reflects on my credit file...will it say partially settled...settled in full :confused: or does it even matter..i am not likely to want or get credit for another six years...

    On the one hand I am wanting to pay ALL debts incurred - just to have the satisfaction (nuts or what!) and on the other I want to get rid of my debt and beat buffy to the dfdate...

    what is it with Women and Handbags and shoes for that matter?
    Whenever the question 'But haven't you got 10 other handbags/shoes' is aksed by me, the answer is always something like 'Yes, but not in this colour/size/shape/style*' *delete as appropriate.
    Can one of you explain the handbag/shoe thing to me?

    No, probably not. It's genetic.
    Proud to be dealing with my debt.
