I have been very naughty

Just spent £27 on a new radley bag :o

But in my defense...

1. Had a rubbish week last week after hubbie gambled £120 of rent money away so needed a treat

2. It will go perfectly with the dress I got for 99p off ebay for my sisters wedding

3. I went via quidco for cashback and used a 20% discount code

So, am I forgiven?????? :o

ps. 4. it is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You can always sell it on e-bay after you've used it a few times:D

    Sorry your hubby has been a git though, I would put one of those dodgy hugs on here but i can't find it...... (wanders off staring into space..)

    Enjoy the bag and don't do it again. At least you know that feeling down triggers spending now!

  • If you don't mind me asking how on earth did you manage to get aRasdley bag for only £27.00 .... I don't think i've ever paid less then £60.00 .... I'm really jealous .. sounds like you got yourself a real bargain:T :T

    So don't feel bad ... I think you could probably sell it for more on ebay thus making money :T :T

    Me too! Me too! Went into Debenhams and the wallets were more than that! I have been extra good this month so I think a little treat is in order!
  • Yes, you are forgiven - but vow to sell it straight away on Ebay afterwards and use the money for the rent as it isn't worth getting behind on that ;)

    Part of the Furniture
    Radley is lovely but i'm guessing it'll be the size of a postage stamp for £27!

    Where did it come from? Naughty of you to buy it but i bet it is nice!

    I hope you have made up shortfall in rent somehow, as 2 wrongs don't make a right...
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
