Must try harder!

I sold a few of my Radley picure bags a while back for not very much.
Kept my original gnome one, it's on the wall in the spare room.
Still love it.
Bought 20 years ago this month actually, the day a close family member died.

I am an Earth Squared girl now.
Fair trade I think & based in North Berwick.

That’s a shame beanie, I thought they’d hold better value. I have a few that marked occasions.
Earth squared look a little bit like some Ness ones I have.
I always like the look of vendula picture bags. Not leather, so maybe won’t last as long, but they have some cute shop fronts and kitties.

I think it's beginning to show why we all got into debt lol. Handbags!

i was just thinking along those lines m_f - how many handbags do you own WinterWarrior ?!!

i had to google Mai bags - very nice; i do like Ness but have sadly never owned one

I have a Radley purse which I bought in TKm@x as I couldn't find a big one anywhere else. I love it as it has a little snow scene on it 😂. I don't have fancy bags though, I'm happy with any old cross body one. Lovely sunny day but chilly - in bed with tea - will today be the day I sort the garden? Probably not! Pondering what to do with my remaining couple of £100s this month. I should move somewhere to stop me spending but do I move out of reach? 🤔
Have relaxing days!

Good morning and happy Saturday ☀️🧁☕️

I’m not sure how many I own, I’ll need to check! As they are from across a good 20 years I can’t really blame bags. I really wish I could put my finger on something, but I think it was just very gradual living beyond my means and not anticipating emergencies 😖
I don’t recommend Ness bags, they look nice, but don’t work well. I have a crossover one that just has a flap and magnetic press stud type closure…if you put it down it tips over and everything falls out! The smaller hand strap one doesn’t tip, but is pretty open at the top. Perhaps I should eBay them, I’ve not used them more than 2 or 3 times and they’ve been hanging around for years. I doubt I’d get much for them after postage.
I’m feeling a bit adrift without being able to use my car, so not sure what to do today. I pieced some of the quilt blocks again yesterday, but it’s coming out a bit lumpier than I’d like, even with some seam ripping. I finished my book and have started a free one, I think it was a prime first reads, called Nineteen Seventy.
I almost spent some money yesterday and then put it back! 

Let me know what lovely things you all get up to and enjoy your Saturdays ☕️📚🍫🧁

I’m seed sowing and tackling one border at a time in the garden. Looking forward to seeing eldest son tomorrow, before he goes home to Portugal as he’s been working in the UK. Not seen him since June last year.

stop talking about bags, I keep looking them up!

bit chilly here in Kent

@elbree we crossed posts. I’m a sucker for a snowy scene 😁 You have remaining money? That’s amazing, well done you ⭐️ Is it close to your pay day, so you can squirrel it away? I still have nearly 3 weeks to mine.
@carolbee have a lovely time with your son. I would love to have a nice garden, but I don’t have enthusiasm for the actual work involved 😢

hi again

I am walking to the hairdressers and hope to remember to take my book with me - i stayed up past midnight reading it oops!  I went back to the library yesterday as i had the afternoon off work, it is by Sophie Hannah, she writes thrillers and i love her books Then i will have to do some of my PT work boohoo

Sunny day here and i will put washing on the line before i go

thanks for the caution around Ness bags - i won't buy any - i have 'enough' bags already

love Deni 

WinterWarrior

I don’t think I’ve read any of hers. I like Jeffrey Deaver for thrillers, but generally lean towards magic and fantasy and complete escapism these days. Happy new hair day @Deni_debt-free_dreamer
