So my DH came home with a Big Nancy for me tonight as a present...

[mintydixcharrington]

a prize to the first person who knows what THAT is!

Nancy Drew = poo ???

(not a great present)

I hate to think!

A handbag?

Nope. I even (very apprehensively) googled "big nancy". Still none the wiser.

a chicken? (I did think a bag too)

Message withdrawn

a huge pasty/pie from the chippy??

smythson bag?

a scared-looking bloke who screams at mice?

A bag

Yep, I resorted to Google too .

A large lady blues singer apparently....Amongst other things.

If it's that Smythson bag then you are a very lucky lady!

Nancy Regan = (wtf rhymes with Regan) er Fagin, an elderly pick pocket.

Your DH gave you a Dickensian pick pocket.

Hoxtonchick wins the prize! Have a large cookie.

Don't know what possessed him.

christ! I'd never spend that on a handbag...

Very nice, I hope he got some extra special cuddles for that

ah poo I knew this but too late

I don't know, a nice new handbag and caning me at Scrabble. some people get all the luck

grumble grumble

Oh dear. It's somewhere between nondescript and ugly. And £950, I ask you.

actually it is quite pretty with the sort of pleating effect. and incredibly soft leather.

lined in a deep purple satin which is also nice

but I agree it is a silly price

Will you ever take it out? I think if I had a bag of such expense I'd be too scared to let it out of a sealed climate-controlled chamber.

aw was so hoping it would turn out to be a prosthetic bust

Well my attitude to REALLY expensive things is to use them As Much As Possible otherwise what's the point? Cost per wear and all that. It will get its first outing to Nottingham Racecourse tomorrow I expect. Lets hope it gets a trip to the winners enclosure

Puppy - well, there is always christmas...

FYI bag aficionados,
this is the bag I bought myself for this winter... pretty beautiful, huh?
