(He wanted money, natch, but I wanted to participate and kept him yacking on the phone for half an hour....) (Anyhoo, didn't you say you had a special dust bag to keep your new one safe and shiny?) ;)) Well I just had a ‘research’ phone call from a man at Crisis (at work, too!) - so mebbe that’s a sign that you (and really, when I say you I mean me) shouldn’t do that ‘buy buy buy’ thing too often… (He wanted money, natch, but I wanted to participate and kept him yacking on the phone for half an hour….)

Amber, I knew you'd understand! Nico, yep I don't think men ever do get it... But £400 is *great* for a computer! And Keris... oops. This just goes to show that no-one should ever listen to me! Are you sure it was *me* who said that? Have totally blocked it out. *hides* In my defence, I never had bought a bag for more than £50 before. I shouldn't have knocked it before I tried it! ;) New advice: Buy, buy, buy! :) Wow, bags really get you guys talking! ;)

You're right, £165 sounds more reasonable now. Still. ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE POUNDS for a purse?? I guess we guys will never understand stuff like that. Now excuse me, I have to go pick up my new £400 computer... whaaaaa?? in my defense, it's just as much a work tool as it is a toy! 0:) When I saw £565 I almost spit my drink.

Scarily, I have looked in the window of Prada (Milan, if you must know ;-) ) and thought, "Yeah, that bag is worth the thousands of Euros they're asking...." How do you keep your bags? I feel guilty that I don't have enough room for my modest collection of black and red (cheap) handbags and they're all squashed in a box until I use them. (Eeek! I hope this doesn't come through three times now....) I find as I get older than I can justify higher and higher prices for handbags.

Every time I find myself gazing adoringly at the £72 Red Direct bag I covet, I hear your voice telling me that you "just couldn't pay that much" for a bag and I click away to covet it another day! Not that I need anyone else's approval before spending £72 on a bag or anything. Oh no. Not me. ;) While that is gorgeous I have a bone to pick with you!
