I like a cross body bag with lots of pockets. It needs to be big enough to carry my kindle and various bits including a water bottle. I'm not familiar with Fiorelli so will have a look - thank you!beanielou said:What type of bag & colour do you want?"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".
