    It's here. http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/chgardens/item/lew-bag0556/

    I'm so happy to report that I didn't pay anywhere near that price. Also, while hunting for a picture, I found it on a posh pawn website and it's being offered for more in its used condition than I paid for new. Plus I got cashback, points worth £50, etc. it must truly be an investment piece.

    Because of my size, I've avoided colour for years not wanting to draw further attention to myself. I've recently had a shift away. I may be fat but there's no need to avoid dressing attractively. I think that this bag gives me the conservative black that I'm used to but is lifted by the trim. Anyhow, let me know what you all think about it.

    Still, better get a wiggle on. So much to do that I need to get to the office and get started. Hope everyone has a good day.

    LOVE the bag (and as I said, I'm not a bag person).

    In shock at the 'original' price tho...glad you got a bargain. I'd be terrified I'd do something bad to it by accident tho x

    The price was hkd but still wasn't what I paid for it. Last night we went to see a play. It was so dire we left at the interval but we'd gone for a cheap meal out paid for by OH and filled up a loyalty card so all in all, a nicer evening than slumped in front of the telly. As for today, never has TGIF been more relevant. OH is heading to his parents for the weekend this evening so once I get him to the airport, I think I'll come home and burrow. Just need to get through today with another investigation interview to do. Hope things are going well for you all.

    I love my bed and will hopefully get a good night's sleep. OH has landed with a half hour delay and is now on a tube. I had a few soaps to watch and did nothing else. Today I am grateful for
