This is somewhere to post if you want to be talked out of a purchase.

NO ENABLING ALLOWED!!!!!!!

(wonder how long this last or even if anyone posts here

)

I am sending Shimmy back and need to be convinced not to try and replace her with something else I don't need!

flyvetjo · Feb 25th, 2009, 06:07 AM

You don't need anotherbag JJB. Best thing to do is just not look. Presumably you'll get a refund for shimmy so you won't have vouchers burning a hole in your pocket?

Good luck with it, Jo

Remember the Mulberryaholics thread? That became the biggest enabling thread ever

You'll have to police this one well

and I'll help out when I can

salikons · Feb 25th, 2009, 06:21 AM

you don't need another bag JJB. Just use the ones you have instead.

Can I join?

I have decided not to buy anything except an ocean or denim medium mabel. That is something I know I would use as I live in jeans and denim skirts (when not at work) and blue is my colour. If I see an authentic bargain I will consider it but otherwise am waiting until August when the outlets bring out that colour again. I will NOT buy anything else this year. Do I qualify to join the anti-enablers and would you grant me permission for this one purchase?

Hello there! I am expecting Roxy and Antony today and will, in the spirit of not buying stuff I can't afford send them straight back....ta daaaaaaa!

Feel proud of yourself.

pheebs · Feb 25th, 2009, 06:51 AM

I just feel sad....I've got a horrid feeling that Teal Antony is going to be bloody gorgeous.

flyvetjo · Feb 25th, 2009, 06:51 AM

pheebs- well done. There is no point running up debt for something non essential like designer handbags. You wouldn't enjoy your new purchases anyway as they'd be tinged with guilt.

Don't dwell on it. Pack it up , send it back and tell yourself there will be other great bags in the future when you can afford to purchase them.

A well reasoned and though out purchase is allowed but in the meantime it's anti enabling all the way on this thread!

Anyone who is feeling bag lust or has seen a bargain that they are having trouble resisting can come here to be talked out of it.

I like Teal Anthony so much that I have already rung Shepton Mallet trying to find another Teal Buffalo bag. Luckily they didn't have any other styles. I don't need a Marine Buffalo Julia do I - it is just too small to be any use?

flyvetjo · Feb 25th, 2009, 06:59 AM

rediculously small !!! no use at all Jenova. You are just in bag lust with the colour and wanting to duplicate it. Take deep breaths and don't phone anymore outlets.
