    DS has wo0n a J bag from Manhaten Poterage & they are £65!!!!!

    Must admit - I didn't know what a J bag was, and had to google it.

    And I was presented with one that has it's very own poseur pouch...

    Sorry Becky - I'd not even seen your post. There are only 3 years of memories funnily enough but it was more the new start/new me thing. I left my previous house of 30 years without a backward glance despite the memories!
    You are a star.

    I dont find my current place 'home' but I find OHs that way - its a very funny feeling isnt??

    I left my last place very easily but the time before (when you rent you move a lot) was a real wrench - I even moved back to the same row a few years later to re-capture some of that 'place' so I do understand how physical things can become so entrenched in our lives even though these things/places are only temporary really! I do hope it starts to look up for you soon - it cant have been easy to lose what you put your heart and soul into and now be faced with losing your house too - we are here to support you though - so remember that :)

    Ames, glad to hear everything is going OK with the economics course. If it's the course I'm thinking of, it starts talking about prisioner games etc.

    Bookie - don't go, I like talking to you. All you lot are way more knowledgable than me in a wide range of areas, I'm just a film/lit geek. Oh, and I want a totoro

    Spud, I might need them if I manage to lose a lot of weight, but that wont be for ages, I'd rather get rid and then buy more if I need them in the future. They're only cheapy George ones anyway so it's no big deal.

    Ta Ames. She'll be ever so grateful :)
