Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[JD]

Women never have empty bags Dave, they are like the Tardis. I once found a family of 12 that had moved from Papua New Guinea in one of my Wife's Handbags. No wonder food kept going missing, I was blaming my teenage sons as well.  #-o

My Wife buys shoes. Shoes, shoes and more bloody shoes.  ](*,)  ](*,)

"Women you can`t live with them..... and you can`t live without them"

I was in Bangkok not so long ago in BK shopping centre in Siam(for those that know the area). The missus was doing her going into every shop and to be fair I lasted at least an hour before getting irritated. Anyway, she goes in to one bag shop and spent a bleedin' age deciding between two bags because,"I need a new bag". She has about 300.

 Anyway, keen for brownie points, and knowing where brownie points may end up...I said, " Baby, don't worry about cost, they're both really nice, and suit you (how the f*ck does a bag suit anyone?) so why not get both? Here you go, babe, heres the money".

  The excited happiness on her face was like watching a kid on christmas morning, or like the time your caught the ice-cream van just before it was about to pull away. To be honest I did feel good. So, obviously did she.

   As we left I was thinking that I was actually a good boyfriend. Holding her hand she led me straight into the next shop....Yep, a f*cking shop full of bleedin' bags.

   "You've just bought 2. Why do you need a-bloody-nother one?". "They're different bags. Look at this one..." and she was off. Into another world. And yet I get looked at quizzically because I want to go into a shop, see what I want, and get out.

 Jeez.

The answer of course is you come to an agreement with the girlfriend, you don't ask her to watch the Villa and she doesn't ask you to go shopping.
I watched a show last night about Pakistan where Islamabad featured regularly, apparently they have fifteen nuclear weapons scattered around, what can you see from your window?

[damon loves JT]

Yes, can you get me one? It would make a nice conversation piece in the lounge/diner next time I host a PTA coffee morning

[Legion]

A handbag or a WMD?

[damon loves JT]

Our house already knee-deep in handbags

I can see some trees and the Margalla Hills. Well, I thought they were the Margall Hills but it appears that they are huge bunkers containing missiles. Mind you, as a capital city of a nuclear country it would be naive to think they're wouldn't be weapons around here somewhere.

I usually start with buying  a pair of shoes...then a handbag to match the shoes....Then I think...Hmm now I have that handbag I could do with another pair of shoes to match it....then....OOoh now that other handbag there would go with the 2nd pair of shoes that I bought...Then that is usually followed by...I should buy another pair of shoes to go with that 2nd handbag so that I get my use out of it. Then...of course another handbag to match the pair of shoes that go with the handbag that matches the 3rd shoes... or something like that....& it goes on from there.

Then I get worried that I will have no room for all of them

Yeah, you've kept my uncles shoe & bag shop in business for years. Cheers.  :smt002

Not big on shoes, me.  I buy a few pairs and wear them almost 'till the heel falls off or the sole gets a hole.

Handbags, however, are different.

I don't have to have that many, maybe 3 or 4 a year, but they have to be Radley.  I have my eye on their latest 'signature' bag, called, appropriately, Retail Therapy.  Trouble is struggling to justify treating myself as it is rather expensive. :-k

I'm worried because I don't have a problem justifying treating myself at all, I think I deserve my treats .  I'm worried I'm selfish, but then I am doing my bit for the consumer society, which also worries me :-

You are a top star Lizz,top of the pile,crocodile.

This thread is being infiltrated!! Have the 'newcomers' read the entirety?

[JD]

Now I'm worried that this thread has turned into a shopping channel.

Just as I was going to post this, my Wife called me at work to ask if she can use my account to buy a new handbag.  #-o  I am not kidding, it was bizarre.  8-[
