    yeah because I'm sure that all those teenage girls would be very happy to walk round with their tampax and sanitary products on display for the whole school to see :rolleyes:

    You could easily put personal things in a make up bag.

    Carrier bags were seen as things girls had when I went to school.

    Carrier bags! The only carrier bag my dd or any of her mates take to school is the one to put their muddy trainers in after pe.

    Any sort of carrier was seen as girlie and lads it was cool to wear a bad with just one strap over your shoulder rather than the two.

    Round these parts it is obviously complusary to have a Jane Norman carrier bag for the girls and boys all have nike carrier bags!! Note from school drive me to screaming point because they assume I do nothing all day but wait for instuctions from the school on what useless rubbish I have to make next, as opposided to a full time working mum!!!
    Ps; SP I don't think its terribly common to check e mails every two hours, every two days is nearer the mark for me!!!!!
    :rotfl:Ahahah got my signature removed for claiming MSE thought it was too boring :rotfl:

    *creeps into conversation to admit that I have been to buy a top at Jane Norman just to get a carrier bag for desperate daughter*

    I then had to take the top back the next day in an Asda carrier bag for a refund :o

    ~I'm too chunky for Jane Norman & daughter is too little :rotfl:
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    Thats because you are a boy.

    You have absolutely no idea how a teenage girls mind works.

    A teenage girl would rather, as newMS said, stick pins in their eyes than use a bog standard carrier bag for school.

    My daughter will often be running late for school running round the house like a headless chicken looking for a suitable carrier bag for her manky trainers - she wont even use a supermarket one for these :rolleyes:
