    Its chic, its sophisticated but freaking hell at the price.... you could go away on holiday for that and still have enough cash to buy another Radley bag.

    Although since theres a used on on flea-bay thats already reached £400 one can only assume thats its an iconic piece of kit and in twenty years time will still be worth precisely what you paid from it.... almost a usable antique... I'm not helping much am I?

    Morning folks :D

    I'm considering kittycide this morning, having been woken by one of my little darlings at half past sodding six :mad: Still, I'm now up to date with the news, most of my regular threads and am all Farmville'd out :o

    I've used some of my time this morning to top up on Swagbucks so have redeemed there for a £5 Amazon gift voucher which will be nice for a wee treat - I tend to download music a few times a month and anything that reduces the cost is appreciated!

    I know I should be listing on Ebay as it's free today, but I really can't be bothered. I don't have that much left that's saleable anyway :rotfl:

    Nothing really planned for today - maybe some crafting and possibly a movie. A nice lazy Sunday is in the offing I think :D

    When I'm thinking of buying something expensive I do a couple of mental calculations :

    How many hours would I have to work (after tax!) to afford it?
    How many times will I use it per day/week/month/year as appropriate?
    Could I resell it for anywhere near face value if I really, really had to?

    I'd get the bag too F_F, one of my purchases when I'm debt free would be a designer bag. But I'd have to save for it first.

    Hi FF

    I think you need to consider your forgetfullness in all this - I'm sure not long ago an ipod was misplaced?!?!?! :rotfl:

    What if you lost the bag or it got damaged/messy - you would be so annoyed.

    If you are fine with the above I would buy it :T

    I'm happy with a cheap bag in a range of colours as I change my bag often to match my outfit :rotfl:

    EE
  • It is gorgeous.

    and actually would be perfect for me..............lol.

    ok. how is the car doing maintainance wise? no birthdays coming up? do you have emergency money saved up for sudden leaks breakdowns and whatnot?

    Sorry I am not up to date with your diary, not been on much recently so you might have all that going on and I may not have noticed!

    It is a mad amount to spend to on a bag BUT you are debt free and it is your money?

    good luck with the decision!

    Morning all :D

    Many excellent thoughts around the Bag Of Wonder, thanks for that! I do need to sit down and do some very in depth budgeteering - I have a number of things to do around the house and so forth. Chances are, I'm just lusting and wouldn't be able to part with that amount of money for a bag to be honest snapoutofit.gif

    Nothing very exciting to report from the weekend. I tried to take advantage of the Tesco DTD promotion, but don't think I've done very well. They included the whoopsied tuna I bought so I have sent them a stern email reminding them that it's meant to be "comparable" products, and that by their very nature end of day reductions won't be comparable. I suspect they'll tell me to !!!!!! off, but I feel better for having sent the email :rotfl: My new plan is to review the threads on the promotion and do an online order so that bargains can't fall into my trolley. You're getting some good deals at the moment with this promotion so it's worth a punt.

    We still haven't booked our holidays yet. I need to see how things are looking in terms of already booked holidays and rearranging some of them. I might have to cancel my week in August as I only have four days left to book at the moment and would want a full week away if I could. It might be that we leave it until next year at this rate!! We still have to fill in the forms for our passports as well, so there's many things to do.

    Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend earthhug.gif

    I am actually after a Mulberry bag myself but I have to keep thinking 'Oooh it is a lot of money' - they are lovely, my friend had a tan coloured Bayswater one and has said that I can have hers when she find another bag...

    If you don't want to part with all that money, what about a Longchamp bag. I think I'm going to get this one in Ebony if I don't get a Mulberry one...
