    £450 to get the dent knocked out of my car. I think my no claims bonus is protected. I must check! Still peeved the bar steward didn't leave their details.

    Went to monsoon 70% sale and gotcha ££90 dress for £28. Kerching! That's me sorted for my friends 40th and the Vegas themed night this weekend.

    I've put the ironing away - now to do some dinner for the kids.
  • How much is it if they are reducing it by £80 :eek: never spent £80 on a bag let alone any more.

    Dusty it was £425, I bought it for £212, now it's £127.50 :money:

    I don't buy lots of them, but I've been wanting that one since last jan so now it's in the sale can justify it. I get a couple of new ones each year as I collect them but usually the ones I like are NEVER in the sale.

    Seafarers - good for you! If we don't treat ourselves once in a while who will!

    :wave: hello everyone. Not been on for a couple of days. I'm not complaining but work has been hectic which is great as January is usually a little quieter than the rest of the year. I'll try and do some flying tomorrow inbetween 1 hour dentist appointment (first of 3:eek:) and trying to get a docs appointment as a lump has appeared on my head! :eek: I'm sure it's nothing but I'm probably better off being told that by someone who knows what they're talking about :rotfl:.

    Speak soon xx

    Happy Birthday MOAM..:bdaycake:
    Sounds like it's all going well Embb.

    I've got the utility room all sorted today and the back hall and the hotpress...:j:j:j:j I am so pleased with it as you can tell, also i nearly have all the washing done. :D

    Need to go fill the stick box and make something for dinner...
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    The whole point of MSE is getting the best deal for what you want and since I like this particular designers bags then I don't give a flying fig about fashion sense or not and feel that I got a bargin which is all that matters but each to their own as it takes all sorts to make the world go round :D
    Quite right, Seafarers. Not particularly into bags myself - I have just the one, which cost me the princely sum of £62; it's Belgian tapestry, and I don't care if it's fashionable or not, I like it. Now, show me a Dragon I haven't met before.........:D:D:D:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
