    Saying that, I have a watch in mind that costs £1k + and I want it sooooo bad!

    I have a watch in mind that costs £30k - doesn't mean I'm going to buy it :D

    There is nothing tacky about a Rolex President with a diamond encrusted face... :o

    So, predicament as follows:
    1 - Very sensible option - insist on refund (since faulty) and repay savings
    2 - Ask them for vouchers and sell them..... in theory would be able to sell them for more than the £542
    3 - Ask them to put part of the vouchers towards the bag that I ordered yesterday and decided to cancel and then have a small voucher for the remainder........ this could then be sold, so at least I'd have a little bit to go back in to savings
    4 - Get the vouchers, use my friends shareholder discount and grab myself the most amazing bag from their coming soon section

    Option 5 - sell all bags and overpay the mortgage.

    Dare you to calculate how much time that would knock off :cool:.

    I really enjoyed reading your comments, thanks for popping by!

    GG - I'm down to 5 bags (possibly 6 if I'm naughty with the pending voucher offer)..... Whilst it might knock a couple of months off my mortgage, I would rather keep my bags to be honest. So, option 5 is a no goer.

    HDK - please don't let my naughtiness be a bad influence on you.

    Southern - enjoy the new coat, but perhaps give the watch a miss for the time being. It would be a lovely reward once you are mortgage free?

    Natty - thanks for supporting my naughty ways - even if it is just so that you look like a good girl!

    Ed - I know, I need to be kept in line a little bit.

    Seriously, writing my little bag story and seeing it in black and white actually makes me realise even more that my bag addiction is rather pathetic. I knew it anyway but I just can't help it. I'm being good and not spending new money on more bags but my handful of leather lovelies are my vice really and I can't change (don't want to) it. So, they will be staying. If hard times hit, they would of course be the first things to go..... Well, after I've sold the children on flebay of course.

    I'm off to the naughty step now.

    Just coming back to comment on the shopping thing, so far I have managed to resist all things Barbour...however I have been unable to resist buying dresses each of which have come in over £100, I did however manage to balance it out with a cardigan purchase of £12. We have just come back from holiday where I did a lot of window shopping and I have come to realise it is all Mr AJM's fault, I was looking at some rather pricey items that even I thought were steep and he kept telling me to buy them. Even I can't spend 80 euros on a hat and 200 euros on a jumper!

    Sorry...will go back to lurking again x

    Also wanted to say Happy New Year in case I forget to post later
