Why am I not surprised Deb lol lol

You will no doubt find more to list too

Nice to have a shopaholic in our midst - relieves some of us of the need thankfully 

Sitting reading about Windows 10 and trying to decide whether I reserve a copy.

Have you done so Deb?

I know j*oono has and seems to like it but I really cannot make up my mind.  I am tempted to wait until we replace this PC.

I have got so much work on this one I am terrified that any change might impact on that.  Am waiting for our new office computer to be built so I can get rid of a heap of stuff on here.  In the meantime, I might just bide my time - call me chicken but prefer to err on the side of caution

I'm undecided on windows 10 too Laney, will ask hubby his thoughts on it first

speaking of shopping, ( Joono might be interested in this) I found this brand new Mimco bag in an OP shop last week for $5.99

You really are amazing - how you find all these bargains is beyond me.

Maybe I should check the OP shops sometime .....

On the other hand I think I will leave it to you lol

You are just trying to remember when my birthday is, aren't you Laney 😄  I'm hopeless at remembering birthdays.  I know Karen's is very close to mine and I still can't remember when it is.

I don't blame you for hanging off with W10 if you're using your computer for work stuff too.  It would be terrible to lose stuff but I had no problem with mine.  The good thing is I have heard that you can still do a system restore to back before the switch but you have something like 45 days to do it.

I think it's a bit of a joke that Harvey Norman are using a free upgrade to windows 10 on their computers as a selling feature.

My son's switched to windows 10 too and they prefer it.

Good bargain Deb!  That one's not quite my style but I do love Mimco bags.  I am due for a new one.  I tend to use mine until they are really tatty and mine is now reeeeeaaaallly tatty.

Sprung dammit lol

Yes I was.  So transparent hey

I saw some of those HN ads and thought ...what!!!!  Pretty deceptive aren't they - as if THEY have paid to have it installed as a bonus.

Like you I am also on the lookout for a new bag.  I have already had the lining replaced on my very favourite one and now the leather is looking tired and worn.  Mind you I have probably had it for more than 20 years lol.  Have been looking at a particular Oroton one which is as close as I can get to my current Oroton but it is $349.00 so I think my old one will do for a while longer.

Besides they are out of stock right now 

Have to got the 'stocks' in for tomorrows Derby j*oono?

I had forgotten about that really but I think we still have some party pies in the freezer.

You must be a lot less rough on your bags Laney if you've had yours for 20 years.  My last one was an Oroton one.  I still have it somewhere but the strap is now attached with a curtain ring 😄  

Good leather bags are so expensive now.  I found one recently that I liked very much but it had the makers name on a huge plaque on the front of the bag and I don't want to walk around like an advertisement for a dopey designer.

I rotate them j*oono which is probably why they do last a long time but there is always a favourite isn't there!  If you amortise the cost over the years of usage they are realy not that expensive but one tends to forget that when looking for a new one.

I still have some in use which I bought when I lived in Italy oh so many years ago lol

That is the only issue I have with a replacement - any identifying feature was low key when I bought the last Oroton one but not so now - hate labels with a passion.  They should pay us for advertising and NOT for the ummmmmm 'you know what' called The Story of O!!!

Reminds me of a lady who purchased a new camel hair overcoat at considerable cost (with the label slip-stitched onto the sleeve near the wrist).  She thought the label was meant to be retained on the sleeve lol.  I was afraid to go near her with a pair of scissors
