    £2 I've checked OnePoll but they have nothing for me today, maybe tomorrow :D


    I'm not sure if Onepoll have any surveys at the weekend, a lot of the survey sites seem to 'operate' mon-fri!

    Well done with Ebay. I did a lot of relists yesterday, but this evening it's new listing time for me.

    Ooh Shelley they're lovely! I was sorely tempted by one of the patent bags, but my true calling is this one. Or this one :D
    I love the oak one - one of the sale bags I liked was a hobo in oak but its luckily sold out. My willpower is rubbish!!

    Stop it with the bags! I keep looking at bags! Do you not know I have bricks and mortar to pay for? :rotfl:
    But you can't carry your stuff in a brick?!

    Well done on all the good efforts on Ebay to you both :T

    I must must have a purple satchel.Fact.
    Is THIS not satchel-like enough for you ;)

    I can afford a Mulberry bag. I don't need to buy it, just knowing I can afford it is enough :D (that and the fact the only one I can afford would only hold a pack of tissues :rotfl:)

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    They are insanely expensive, but I'm currently saving up for one using the Virtual Sealed Pot Challenge on here and will have [strike]no[/strike] minimal guilt when I finally buy it. I'm debt-free (mortgage excluded obviously!!) and work sodding hard. I won't be buying one of the £2000 ones though, that's a step too far, even with my handbag obsession :D

    I have £470 saved there now (Since the start of the year) so I'm really close to being able to sashay into the Mulberry shop and buy one :j

    You do know there is a Mulberry factory shop near Bath, plus one up north somewhere?

    There's one in York - I was going to visit it this week when we were on holiday but sadly Mr F wasn't well and we couldn't go. I plan on getting there sometime :D
