    Hey guys, just popping in so you don't forget who I am. I must admit I've only been able to skim the last 6 pages but:

    congrats on the sparkly thing Citizen :beer:
    I see this month is turning into handbag addicts confessional this month :rotfl:

    And on the subject of moggies, got home last night - ours (unusually) no where to be seen. Not seen until OH got home when neighbour popped her head out to say the little minx (cat not neighbour) had been in theirs all day. One very sheepish looking cat returned home for dinner.

    No idea of my NSD tally but doing ok. Won an item on fleabay tonight (brand new) for a gift (I'm not tight but the new version is way over what I would normally spend on this person). Paid for with paypal funds from prev sales though. Also been doing a lot of xmas gift idea shopping on the internet.

    You'll prob also hate me for saying I started our xmas dinner shopping at the weekend, place we normally get it from (hand cooked but frozen) and they had 15% off. One item is from their summer menu so I went to get that and a couple of other things as it was discounted....only dawned on me at 7.30pm that night I should've bought the turkey for 15% off as it's the most epensive thing :doh: don't know if they'll have another price promo before xmas and a little worried about turkeys selling out so might have to bite the bullet and order. Cross with myself :mad:

    Right, gotta go. nite x

    forgot to mention, off to get DM iPad tomorrow - £95 vouchers (from surveys etc) plus 8% off on gift card - might be off the NSD wagon this month, but not off the MSE train xx

    Hello to:

    LeoLasagne - sorry you’re having problems with spending, have you thought about a spending diary (I think someone else recommended this as well), or maybe allocating “pots” of money to certain things during the week. Have a look at the post If puts up at the top of the pages, that might give you some ideas as well. Don’t lose hope, you’ve nabbed 3 NSDs so far, it can sometimes take a bit of time to get into the swing of NSDs, so you’re doing well. Hope that helps.

    rising - I’d forgotten all about Fossil until you reminded me.. of course I had to go and look at their website and I’ve seen two bags I’d love..... but I’m NOT going to buy either of them, I will be strong. I think we need to set up a new helpline for us handbag addicts here.. HBA seems to be a suitable title.
    Hope you have a lovely time at DMs and lots of lovely cuddles with Maisie

    marmite - pud definitely hasn’t forgotten her tiger roots then

    beanie - another purple fan, it’s definitely the NSD colour. You’re right, Radley and Tula were in partnership back in the 80s but Radley bought themselves out about 10 years ago I think. They may still work together somehow as I’ve seen both brands in the same outlet stores, as you have. Hope you’re loving your new purple bag

    penny73 - and another bag addict, welcome to the club. Eek to your Cath Kidson purse, glad it dried out finally. I’ve just had a peek at the Kipling website, nice bags.
    6 years is nothing, you’ll deserve a treat then for paying off your mortgage

    HeadAboveWater - and another handbag fan. I’ve just had a look at the Nica website as well, nice bags...

    blindtoast - hope the shopping went OK and fingers crossed for lots of NSDs this week

    If - love today's cartoon, cute kitties.. thank you x

    P0lly - don’t beat yourself up, sometimes life just gets in the way. Hope you’re pleased with your new coat?

    kerri - good to see you and, yes, it’s handbag addict time here now


    Phew... that's taken ages tonight, mainly due to being distracted by handbag websites:o:o:o
