    Hi INOD

    Love the bag.. I'm a bag person and am seriously coveting it:)
  • You're making me tired reading your list!

    Hope you get everything done you need to :) x
    Debt remaining: :(
    Mortgage - £117,759 (£134,600, Nov 2013)

    Work overpayment and home improvement loan paid back (£19200) :beer:


  • Reading my list makes me tired. I've just realised that while I've been very industrious (for me), I've been doing stuff not on my list but that still needed done. Annoying or what?

    Just lost the post I was writing :(

    I suggested you go back and edit your original list, adding the things you HAVE done, then striking them through to reward your effort.

    Then I said, if it were me, I'd go and get a cuppa and a snack to celebrate my effort (and ability to procrastinate)

    Inspired by you, I am going to actually get dressed now ;) x

    Add it to the list, then score it off again. It's what I do ;)

    Phew re the HKD. Though it's none of my business how anyone else spends their money, I did think <holy moley> when I was thinking USD :eek: . In that case, that's not stupid money for a lifetime bag :D
    0% card was £1126.91 / Now £1502.37

    AFD March 2/15 NSD March 2/11 :T

    Other debts paid since 1/1/14: £17,005

    Echoing everyone re. loving the bag! I'm a bag person myself as being tall my feet have always been too big for designer shoes! My designer bags (from pre-money saving days naturally!) have been the things that have NOT ended up at the local dress agency (unlike my un-designer bags)!:D
