    Hi Lula

    Just indulging myself with reading some diaries from the start and currently working through yours :D

    I'm just up to pre-Christmas last year where you have had new carpets and are busy decorating. It's also not that long I think at that point since you changed your car. I'm really relating to these things as trying to persuade myself to part with some savings to change car and get house spruced up, please tell me it's worth it :p

    Regards

    No, for the time being the Bayswaters are safe...... It's the bright green Alexa and the blue/purple colour big hobo bag (AKA Balenciaga Day).

    Bag sales aren't great at the moment though, so it might take a while.

    I've identified another one for the chop too, but not until these two are sold.

    Oh wow, I'm surprised my diary is managing to hold your attention, although there is a fair bit of spending in there to brighten things up a bit! :rotfl:

    The car - well, I love and appreciate it every time I drive it. Love my car.

    Carpets - I'm very happy I got the new carpets but must admit to some marks already. I'm sure I should be able to shampoo them out, just haven't gotten round to it yet - inevitable with two children and a husband I suppose.

    The painting was worthwhile too - we really need to do the kitchen, so that is next on the list. But I'm feeling skint at the moment so it will need to wait until I get another bonus.

    LOL - they're just bags.... she says through gritted teeth.

    The impending visit of my sister this weekend and my shelves displaying new bags that she hasn't yet seen mean I'm scared and really feel the need to sell some. She doesn't get my bag thing and has a knack of making me feel very guilty and rather stupid!!!

    Yes but 10 ridiculously expensive (other people think they're ridiculously expensive, I just think they're a tad on the pricey side :) ) handbags is a tad excessive despite my working hard justifications - especially when I work from home all of the time and don't really get the chance to use the bl**dy things, lol!!

    If you used them all the time, they would only get scuffed.

    Some people collect china, you collect bags ;)
