i want (i want i want )...

not too big

a proper change section or a firm zip

no stoopid clasps

i don't care about price, by and large, my birthday's coming up so dh will cough up grateful that he didn't have to find one himself.

i was looking at this, it's quite jolly. i enjoy a jolly accessory.

Purse?
What is this you speak of?

BoysOnToast · 10/03/2008 18:13

oh y'know, grown ups keep their stubs and credit cards and loyalty cards and the occasional scrap of money in them...

Sounds like a clever idea, why have they not invented this earlier?

BoysOnToast · 10/03/2008 18:19

i think one or two clever people have known about them for a while now... 'course, i just carry a sheeps gut about, fills same purpose but not as pretty. smells a bit too...

FrannyandZooey · 10/03/2008 18:21

aitch you aren't being picky and making people bring you loads of links are you?

tch some people

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 10/03/2008 18:21

I must seek one out.

BoysOnToast · 10/03/2008 18:23

i think aitch decided and left the thread ages ago. im just farting about in a bit of a hijacky late-to-the-thread making-it-all-about-me sort of way. really.

BearMama · 10/03/2008 18:26

But that's okay because it allows people like me to vicariously indulge their fashionista tendencies

Aitch · 10/03/2008 18:27

i have most enjoyed it, frank. i can now see why you do the same on a fortnightly basis.

i (or rather dh) went for the red ponyskin, i am ever-hopeful about the interior. i will weep a little if it's satinette. i'll have to be truthful if it is, cos tutter is getting one too.

fingers crossed. there are a lot of lovely purses on here, aren't there? i still like the aspinall one but it's too elegant for me. i'm too lumpen for an elegant purz.

FrannyandZooey · 10/03/2008 18:37

oh I hadn't done it for AGES Aitch, that was the first one for months

ruddy good fun though, isn't it?

FrannyandZooey · 10/03/2008 18:39

oh god sorry you and Tutter are not well

everyone should bring many many more purse links for you, nice warm ones, on a tray, with a boiled egg

Aitch · 10/03/2008 19:55

she annoyed me with that shopper, Boys. tbh i've always thought AH was a bit over-rated.
