    Unless you've got it wrapped round a table leg then it's pretty easy for anyone to walk off with it.



    No, no, no, you don't hang it just anywhere (geez this is suprisingly hard).
    If you were sat at a table in a restaurant for example then you'd hang it just to the left or right of your thighs or perhaps on the side of the table if you are close to a wall where no-one can pass.
    It would be much harder for someone to take from there than if it's just on the floor.

    I've had loads of admiring glances at mine.

    Why hard? I don't think I'll use mine except when travelling.

    Glad you like yours though.

    Why hard?
    I don't know why it's so hard to see the obvious use of it.
    I would have thought it's blatantly obvious you wouldn't use it to hang your handbag somewhere with public access like coat hooks - that would be daft.

    The whole point is to make to make it more secure (or keep it clean).
    If you don't want to use yours then that's fine, but there is a perfectly good rationale for them.
    Loose handbags can just very easily be picked up and walked off with for a con artist with the guts to do so.

    Also for someone disabled it may be difficult to bend down to the floor.

    You've already explained yourself :)

    I will probably use mine, but the boxdelux isn't for me.

    My mum is disabled, so may give to her. That's a great idea.

    and not wishing to cause offence but if I glanced someone using this peg thing then yes id glance but i dont think it would be admiringly...more quizzical...
    !!

    Personally I think they look daft, and IMO would be easier for a thief to snatch the bag as its at a higher level, they don't have to bend down to grab it.

    I received my beauty bible things today and it will be the last time. Is this one supposed to be anti ageing?

    i'm not sure if it was specifically anti ageing ...but if its the same one that i'm waiting for it was specifically for women over 35 and should contain some green people products.

    Was it not very inspiring?

    It just very different to the products I had in the past. Definitely not anti ageing this time and very green.

    Did you select the willingness to test anti-ageing products as well as green products option on the questionnaire?

    Mine was definitely more anti-ageing last time. I do like green products, but your post is worrying me slightly!

    Maybe I misunderstood this one I definitely prefer the anti ageing ones I have done in the past. I have had a little play with them now and my friend is coming round to put a couple through there paces.
