I love the Langham - wish I had bought Nifferkins one now

Yours look fantastic on you SHM.

By the way everyone - SHM is even more beautiful IRL - can you believe that figure belongs to a mum of 4

Yes, i think the last bag was worse because he didn't expect me to buy any more bags. The amount of bags he found must have shocked him, but he hasn't mentioned it today - maybe he's resigned himself?!

Yes i looked at Nifferkins one too - was really tempted but then decided i didn't need another oak bag, i have enough already!

Ha yes - i'm surprised we're still married too! (only joking, ahem)

I don't think i'll ask him which one's he like though

As for your lovely comments

thank you so much, that's really nice of you!

Hi & congrats on your lovely new bag!! I am horrified about your story of DH finding all your bags!!!! I really hope my DH doesn't have that idea, def not showing him your post eek!!!

Congrats on your gorgeous Langham, and she suits you perfectly!!!

Thanks Mombug, and Blueberry (i wouldn't show him )

Congrats SHM.

Your story made the blood turn to ice in my veins!!!

My OH knows there are tons of bags but not the price per unit ! He says I carry a red and white Sale sticker roll everywhere I go to try and save my neck.

He commented once on how much I paid for a dress for one of his works dos. I said to him I would never dream of showing him up by wearing something any less classy.
It shut him up for a while!!

Ha ha, that's a great line - will have to store this one for future use!

OMG that story gave me goosebumps, no im not kidding... I cant even imagine how I would react to A: Seing my loved ones on the bathroom floor! and B:Being busted in such a way...

Im going to carry on showing my purchases to my OH when I get them or like I did before i got my printed bays: "Hunny, im going to purchase a Mulberry bag when we go to London in May, you dont want to know how much it is and I dont wait to hear it (meaning him giving me grief)". It kind of worked, he came with me when I got it and he told me afterwards he was hoping the card-machine (whatever you call it) would fail when I was gonna pay. I still cant really talk about that bag to him, as "you know how I feel about it". Some things are better just being dropped

Thats is such a cool line, LOL

Last but not least: Gorgeous bag SHM, you look amazing together, it most definately is made for you!

ratrat · Nov 5th, 2009, 12:54 PM

OMG SHM I only just read your additional post - You can anytime come to my house if you need to avoid future confrontation, bringing your kids and of course all the Mulberries.... I will look after them for you no charge!!

Joke aside, I think you must feel a bit relieved? Hope your DH will just accept the fact.
You look fab with all of your Mulberries anyway!!

I know bag on the floor - terrible!

Oh, nothing to be sorry about - I am quite sure I'll be fine in a couple of weeks...lol! Gorgeous bag, enjoy!

Gosh, I am so lucky with my DH. He knows all about all my bags and accessories (he has to, they live in a cabinet in the spare room). However, when my Mother saw them she shook her head and asked in a quiet voice if I needed help

I felt like saying "Yes actually could you help me find something in Ginger Leather"
