    Excuse me Mrs.... How can you forget about having a Balenciaga bag stashed in a box somewhere? Would love to know which one it is? Style, colour etc etc? Depending on what it is, I might be able to help you sell it. Do you have all the paperwork and dust bag etc?

    Lula can smell the very mention of Balenciaga bags from 50 diaries away:rotfl:

    Although I do agree with her tilly, how on earth can you forget this?!!! I forget about bags, however they are definitely not designer;)

    Silly question, how do you transfer direct debits from one account to another?
    Hi Peonie, for all bar one, we could do over the phone. For the one with a small company, they sent us a DD mandate and we posted it back.

    It's really quick to do, so don't be out off :)

    Thanks. I'd like to move over our life assurance but I think the paperwork said the standing orders/direct debits had to be 2 different ones. I'm not sure if 2 to the same company counts or not.

    Goes to show how often I swap bags :o. Rarely.

    Perhaps one day I will end up with a minimalist house :rotfl:

    It would be like one of those Hoarder programmes off TV, except it would be full boxes, not empty ones :D.
