Hello....not a stealth boast, more of a quick, help me not look like a chav....

A friend of mine is in handbag shop right now. He's just text me saying would I prefer a "Chanel Quilted Caviar leather Flap bag" in black, red, white or gold.

What do I have? Discounted red as I have a red Lulu Guiness clutch. Is white chavtastic? Do I go classic black, or nudey gold? Both I have loads to match, outfit wise. Help quickly please!!!! What's best?

Googled them...I presume it's the small one. He doesn't know me that well to spend loads.

TIA!!! x x x

Nope, apart from high street stuff, I have prada boots, kors boots, and loobs. No idea what size I take in Gucci boots at all.

Do they come up big or small?

I must remember sometime to tell you all the story of when Steve Jobs was in my local pub on an open mic night. It was hilarious!

Marvellous self-parody - or performance? - I agree!

I love how some sad little folks can't comprehend this ever happening in their lives, so they decide it's all made up. I guess if you were nicer people, then more good fortune might come your way. My nan always told me, good things happen to good people. And the older I get, I really do see "ain't that the truth"

I'm a 4 to 4.5 usually. I've gone for a 5... they're knee high I think, so even if the foot is a little big, they'll hold round the leg and not feel oversized...or that's the theory I'm sticking too Grin

I hope you have a Gucci hard hat at hand.

Lots of terrible things happen to wonderful people, that comment was very insensitive.

So people who lose their children or get cancer are 'bad people'?

Tragedy can happen to anyone, granted. But there is no denying that the nicer you are to people and in your general life, the nicer things are that start happening to you.

So anyone who has a shitty life deserves it, right?

AmberNectarine · 09/01/2014 16:17

sugar judging by the amount of PMs I've had, I really, really doubt that.

And yes, I reserve my right to jump on utterly moronic comments.

dexter73 · 09/01/2014 16:17

I don't think it is very nice to take expensive handbags that you don't even like from a lonely man who is trying to make friends with you and sell them on ebay.

AmberNectarine · 09/01/2014 16:19

And with that dexter succinctly sums up the attitude of the majority.

mistermakersgloopyglue · 09/01/2014 16:20

Well I guess it depends on whether you see being showered with materilastic goods someone you have know for 9 days as a 'good thing' that you have earned by being such a nice person.

I'm thinking no......

MissBeehiving · 09/01/2014 16:21

Oh, this is becoming more and more unreal by the moment with the OP's flights of fancy and decidedly unusual values and interpretation of her own actions.

And this.

He's not trying to make friends with me.... if I didn't like him, I wouldn't spend time with him. We are friends, very newly formed, but friends none the less. I do definitely think he's lonely though, and loving some company that refreshingly isn't work related.

I am a little bemused by three pairs of boots though. That's a lot of one particular thing to choose isn't it?

Lol @ pretending to have PMs... that wasn't predictable either Grin

Cheaper than the cinema though.

I reckon we might find out soon that Karl has turned up with his cat and iPad to do a private fitting for the op for a whole wardrobe of clothes!

No sweetie, just because you and some eejit (will now await jumping on this word and acting professionally offended) took up 90% of the thread, doesn't make you the majority. It makes you 90% of the screen space. The number of people popping in just to say, open mouthed, how disgusting the two of you behaved are the majority. No idea who these people are. Not impressed with you though, are they :(

Me personally, couldn't give a rats arse...

9 days. Had a coffee with him last Thursday. Another coffee this morning. I think he's rather lonely

Sorry but knowing someone for 9 days and going for coffee with him twice does not constitute a 'friendship'.

AmberNectarine · 09/01/2014 16:26

I'm pretty sure Karl wouldn't have that sort of agenda though I think he prefers the company of men

propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS · 09/01/2014 16:26

Mega Lolz.

Op, just watch the guy does not try to get your flaps wet.

The forecast next week is bad.

I'll stop now.

AmberNectarine · 09/01/2014 16:27

I'm now SO tempted to do an analysis on the posts.

ShatnersBassoon · 09/01/2014 16:28

This thread has really cheered me up. I've just been repairing my knackered old Radley purse and getting really pissed of with it because I don't even like it but it was a present so I feel obliged to keep it going Grin

Now getting back to these ridiculously expensive bags that are to be in no way ill-gotten gains, but that you absolutely do not want at all. Surely someone of your station doesn't eBay. Sling them in a charity bag, give them to a friend who isn't as rich as yow, let a relative have them, give them to the next woman who is unexpectedly kind to you...
