To be annoyed I didn't get an Anya Hindmarsh bag?

There's a competition on the Sainsbury's website to win one - I've entered!
I'll go along with any hype!

If you queued for hours because you wanted to get one to sell on ebay for a return of a million-zillion% I admire you!

If you queued for hours because you wanted one so that you'll look like evrybody else I think you are a nutter!

It's funny how some people have put 'rare' in the description of the bag and theres about a million of them on there.

Ive noticed the frantic bidding has calmed down now

I don't get it, hat's so good about these bags? Why are they going for 100s of pounds?

Haven't read all the thread but if you want a reusable bag then Primark do colourful string bags lined with a contrasting colour, or Asda does a range of cloth bags in their clothing section, both bags are under 2 quid (OK, I know they're probably manufactured by babies but you can't win them all....). Also Tesco does a juteshopping bag with ladybirds on, rather nice and smells yoghurt knitter-ish.

I'm getting a bit of a fetish about shopping bags and couldn't resist the latest M&S bag yesterday, even though I've now got loads of reusables. It's a pretty aqua colour with flowers and a butterfly print on one side, with the M&S logo on the other.

I don't think its too small either. I love it.

I made a tote bag using the bit I chopped off the bottom of my too-long ikea curtains. It's got a long strap, inside pockets and took about an hour. It's great. There is nothing a store could sell that would get me to stand outside at 4am.

I got one too princessmel and like it.

I don't think its a bad bag for £5. At least I can say I only spent a fiver on mine not like the ebay morons! And I don;t thnk its that small - I suppose it depends on what you are looking for.

I use dd's bookstart bag too & if I'm going for groceries I use my RSPB bags. It's amazing how many people have asked me where I got them (especially since they've got RSPB written on them)

I know

you are crackers.

dh just come home and wants me to sell mine on ebay. One went for over £300 today apparantly.

I'm keeping it!

Aitch my friends think the same as you but I really don't mind. I wanted one and I got one.

I wanted one before they went into sainsburys but they'd sold out online.

I like these re-usuable bags because you can fit them into a handbag and then pull them out when you need them - they're also made out of parachute silk so they are really strong.

here

got mine at 8.03 this morn (in newry PercyPig!)
and in the queue infront of me
were 3 men - the first in the queue i add!! - one on a walking stick aged 65, the next about 6ft2 wearing cowboy boots and aged 60 and another old looking man dowdy would be the word if it was a woman,
very odd mix
then a mother nad daughter (in her uniform!),
another lady with god awful flip flop type shoes - how could she be a style afficionado or maybe her slant was the reuse aspect
and me - total style guru
and then another girl - style queen
and a very funny man cracking us up with his remarks, buying for his wife.

only 30 in our store

in ireland there is a plastic bag levy in all shops if you dont have your own bag
its worked very sucessfully to reduce the waste of plastic rubbbish and is AH not prempting the british government imposing such a levy but trying to highlight a waste that so many people are guilty of by making it trendy to be seen with her bag and maybe others will follow suit and perhaps end this ridiculous "designer bag" complex people have.

Dh and I always laugh whenever we see that woman who was buying armfuls of "Candle in the Wind" cds (after Princess Diana died) with a glazed expression on her face as if she had been programmed to

ah well don't read my recent posts then, princessmel.

Hattrick I use the bookstart one too. For my supermarket shopping along with the orange ones sainsburys sell that do up with a popper.

Haven't read whole thread.

My dh queued up and got one for me

I told him the shop opened at 7 so he got there at 10 to 7. It did open at 7 but you get get a ticket for the bags till 8. Oooops. He stayed there though and was no 61 in queue. They had 90 bags. Lots of ebay sellers in queue.

Went to our other sainsburys with all the kids , who'd I'd got ready super early just in case, to see if I could get one for my sister. They'd sold out by 8.10am!!

Some of the people waiting with dh had been there since 4.30am. He said he felt so silly standing waiting for a bag. But I love him for it!!!

pmsl

oh bum!!

instead of linky-link it should just say link.

this

Powder you use the bit above, and put your link between the { and the . Then you write what you want people to say where it says "this".

try previewing first.

the jute ones from sainsbos are really good, i think. they're massive. apart from teh hindmarsh one being small is it not also a teeny bit naff?

i heard that the slogan was going to be 'i'm not a plastic bag but i am something that my owner either queued for or paid £200 for on ebay, which must make them a wee bit arseholish, non?' but they ran out of space cos the bag is so uselessly teensy.

How do you do those links?! I tried once and failed!
