    _pale_ and :rotfl: at the same time!!!

    awwwwwwww, thanks peeps about the bag :kiss: I'm going to hold strong though and not get one, I don't want to look at it in a few months time if I end up back in a part time job (my afternoon job contract might not be renewed in March) and think 'pooh I spent £20 on a bag :o'

    Do you have a cheap purple scarf or look for a pair of large purple earrings in the sale that you could turn into a bag charm to give your existing bag a new purpley twist :T

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    nice idea :T I don't though unfortunately (I don't have any earrings or bag charms!) but what I am going to do is keep a search on ebay for a purple suede handbag and perhaps one will come up one day - or one I like which is similar ;) I have £70 from quidco burning a hole in my pocket at the moment which I'm going to try to keep for treats over the next few months.
