omg without cod how will we know when it's time for summer handbags?

[fryalot]

have awful visions of still having a winter handbag in August!

We need to nominate someone to choose the definitive date!

God knows but I started a thread last month about this year's school run dress.

oh no! cushion covers as well!

and... dare I say it... curtains?

I will be shunned in polite society for still having the dark wintry accessories that you can get away with in December!

Bloody hell Squeaver, a bit premature weren't ya ?

squeaver - you weren't the "jumpsuit as school run dress" thread were you?

Well why don't we just say it's when the clocks change?

i have changed mine today, becuase at approx 10.32 in devon the sun shone. Mine is a spring type one.

no not the jumpsuit one but it wasn't without controversy...

Haven't been on for a while prior to yesterday and this is the second time that Cod has been mentioned in the past tense! have I missed soething? Is she boycotting MN for some reason I know nothing about?

She had to leave twinkly - was getting some rl grief and it spilled on to here. Not very pleasant.

Oh blimey that sounds tricky. I always miss the explosive stuff.

I hope someone posts with an answer soon. And also with some nice ideas ...

As a relative newb I was disappointed to see that all Cod posts have been deleted. Feel like I have missed out on a MN phenomenon.

sipheuntes - a phenomenon indeed

We-ell, if we wait till the clocks go forward like katisha said, then we're missing out on all those weeks of drizzly rain sunshine where we could have been toting our summer bags.

How about Easter weekend?

Well I don't know why Cod had to leave as I'm really only an occasional user but I do remember her as always having soomething to say and often not pulling any punches either! If OP likes bags in oilcloth, have you considered Cath Kidston?

OMG I'm still wearing opaque tights - has everyone been staring at me tutting?!

Look at the weather?

Apologies-I'm getting my threads muddled up! Was watching the one about Orla Kiely bags as well! My summer bag HAS been dusted down and us currently complimenting the beautiful sunshine that we have today!

Will consult the oracle and come back to you

I can sit in opaque tights up until May I reckon!

I'm thinking maybe Reiss or Whistles - not seen what they have yet but need something smartish for work.

Black patent bag definitely doesn't feel right for March though.

my opaque tights are my summer attire.

It's trousers and jeans for winter chez squonky

Though I'm wearing flat black pumps with my opaques instead of boots - so I'm creeping towards spring!

cod would pour petrol on a cath kidson bag methinks

could we just have some bag porn now please in preparation... for the tbc date.

ruby - It sounds like a good plan.... but... what if it is raining on the friday in some parts of teh country and not others?

It needs to be a nailed on, fixed in stone day for everyone.

So, how about the first Tuesday after a full moon provided it didn't rain on glastonbury tor the friday before?
