    CAFCgirl I hope your umbrella lasts longer than the ones I bought in Primark last year - all three fell apart in the very first rainstorm!

    I'm missing the challenge. I bought a coffee and sandwich yesterday and found myself mentally composing my confession for this thread!

    We've got a charity nearly new sale on Saturday so I think I will spend unnecessarily for a good cause before we get back on the wagon!

    Got myself a new top (which I love even though the BF called it hideous!), a belt, one plastic shopper bag, over body bag, new purse and an umbrella to put in my handbag, I'm fed up of always being caught out in the rain!!!

    So what exactly is an "over body bag". I have this vision of a six foot long plastic bag with a zip in it... :eek:

    Don't forget your hideous top!

    I'm sure it's lovely really and your umbrellas will be fine.
