I love pens and I am enjoying all the quotes you’re sharing. I prefer cartridges in my fountain pens. I have a few pens on the go, a Montblanc Marilyn Monroe fountain pen (red) with petrol blue ink cartridge and a Lamy LX rose gold fountain pen currently with vibrant pink ink.Thank you morebags! I’m still trying to be disciplined about using these pens. Another one of my obsessions.? I don’t think it’s real tortoise shell..at least I hope not. I think I bought it in the 90’s, when I was totally into fountain pens. To draw the ink into the cartridge, you twist at the top of the pen. I used to always prefer to load ink vs. using the cartridges, but now I think I prefer the ease of the cartridge. Actually I’d prefer the ballpoint(but trying to be disciplined here in using all the c**p I spent so much$ on
)
Well what pen are you carrying these days? Do you switch off daily? I try to use up a cartridge before I switch so I can properly clean it prior to storage. so much work..
A wise man (uncle) said “you shouldn't have it, if you can’t maintain it” ...I agree with him
An insightful friend said “ if you have to store it, you don't need to have it” ...I ignored her.
Yes, I too, am trying to use and appreciate all the lovely things I have acquired over the years.

One time my child was invited to a sleepover. When we got to the house, the mom said we just had lice, I hope you don't mind!Hi Rhl, sorry to hear about the little one getting sick and infecting the parents. @doni said it perfectly, I wish someone had prepared me mentally that the first year of first child in childcare is full of every infectious disease imaginable. My DS would be sick for three days and it would take down the adults for a week or more - colds, flus, eye infections, hand and mouth disease, etc. I was/am terrified of the kids bringing home lice.
Oh you must show pix of these pens!I love pens and I am enjoying all the quotes you’re sharing. I prefer cartridges in my fountain pens.

plus the bag of the day
and its contents!
Oh
uh thanks for the heads up..what the heck!
Ladies, thanks very much for your 'congratulations'! Much appreciated. 
Speaking of orange bags, even if I find them pretty, I just don't gravitate to them when I have other choices! So I've learned not to buy no matter how pretty I find them.
My toe nails are not very healthy I suppose. They easily break, so I don't bother with pedicure. There was a period a few years back when I got hooked to pedis, my nails just gave up after a few months! I had to wait until the old nails grew out. And never did pedis again. Btw, pedicure service is cheap in my country. We have a lot of nail salons here.
Funny, I just use ordinary gel pens. I have a colleague who uses fountain pen. He is a lot younger than me. I just can't relate.Thank you morebags!

Thank you and appreciate the sweet comments from everyone! DD has an ear infection again (after finishing antibiotics for one last week), just went to the doc yesterday, my husband has the stomach flu and potentially an ear infection again (after having one just 2-3 weeks ago), and my throat is killing me. But we’ll make it through! Fingers crossed. I honestly didn’t think it would be this bad. I figured maybe a few sicknesses in the first year, but this has been continuous. I’m scared of hand foot mouth and lice!!!Hi Rhl, sorry to hear about the little one getting sick and infecting the parents. @doni said it perfectly, I wish someone had prepared me mentally that the first year of first child in childcare is full of every infectious disease imaginable.

I love the look of these. Never purchased them because they’re so expensive, but I do hear they are very comfortable. I like the look of the Lurum, which has quite a few more crystals. At this heel height I’d imagine they could be quite comfortable with exactly the same amount of style and and chic-ness. Can anyone here attest to the comfort of Manolo’s? Unfortunately the two I bought pre-pregnancy are now too tight.Ya it’s a sad situation. The thing is that in reality I rarely wear heels much anymore..but I still don’t want to give them up. I started researching comfortable heels...some swear by Manolos and I was nuts enough to start researching the Hangisi. I really wanted the saffron color in the 50mm..thank god it’s not available in the US or it would be decorating my shelf.
Isn’t it pretty?
Is it really comfortable? Not my nikes, I’m sure.
Is it practical? Satin? probably not.
was it Spock that said “ ..you may find that wanting is better than having...”
I think I’d be pretty happy to have these.

Haha! I should have been so much more selective in the past to not buy uncomfortable shoes. I’ve tried and tried and tried with certain types of flats I should have given up on. I can’t do certain flats or they will rip my heels and feet up. They have to be actually comfortable or I’ll never wear them and “breaking in” and uncomfortable shoe is not something I have ever been able to do. Good for you to stick to only wear comfortable shoes.
Pedicures are the best! I just booked one for this evening as a bit of relaxation. We’ll see if I’m well enough to go for some alone time. I’ve been home with the baby all week and it’s a bit much. Do you get manis each time as well it was that special?
I’ve always enjoyed looking at and trying on the LD and MLD but can never bring myself to buy one. I think I’d fall out of love rather quickly. I understand your hesitation. Perhaps in the right color you’d find you could not say no but your gut seems to be telling you it’s not for you for now.
How awful!! I would have turned around and left! It’s unfortunate she didn’t mention that before you arrive.
Yes! every 2 weeks!
Yikes! how unfortunate the mom didn't tell you at the time of invite!
Yes, manolos are very comfortable! I purchased the Sedarby style, and I danced all night in them!(not something im normally able to do!)
Same!
Hi Everyone, it's finally the last day in Jan and I hope you all stuck to your NY resolutions.
This month I had a slight wobble with a bag purchase, but the guilt and mixture of timing and being honest with myself if I was gonna use it made me realize it wasn't right for me.
My last count of bags is 40, which is a scary amount.. thats more than a different bag each day for a month[emoji85]
Have already done a clear out before Xmas to buy my last bag, but if something special comes along I will have to seriously think about it.
Hoping this thread and your support will help me get through the year of not buying for the sake of buying and just to enjoy and feel grateful for what we do have in our wardrobes.
Yes, I cannot wait to share piccys when we do our bag challenges.
Happy weekend Everyone [emoji8]

Ooh...Won’t you post your new Loewe? ..bonus pints as an action shot!
Here you go, a day in the life, my new tote ready for boarding on a one-night trip. This is all I am taking.
What’s inside. In the green pouch an iPad and a couple magazines. There is still space on top for the FT and the scarf when not wearing.
