Thanks! I haven´t seen the Huggies in the German shops so far. May I ask where you are located? There always seem to be differences between products called the same depending on in which country they are sold.

Would you believe… talking about Natasha bags has sent me scurrying over to Flea Bay to check them out??? Eek! I see one there in a nice shade of dark-ish green that's tempting me. I think the price is too high, but there's the opportunity to make an offer, and I'm going to think about it.
Maybe.
Depending on how the rest of the week goes.
...and there she is hooked... keep us up to date re your decision, please.
That urge is a nasty beast coming out of the shadows without prior warning... a little nudging and it´s there. In my case a coupon code popping up on VC was enough to send me down the slide... I feel as if I have lost my marbles (given I just bought the patent New Lock) , but am totally excited for my Christmas present to myself arrive.
Your new life approach sounds great @Katinahat ! Congratulations on the weight loss! I only seem to get fatter by the day and still succumb to chocolate... high time to follow in your footsteps. (Though: no running, please... I´ve never done the slightest bit of running in all my life except for on heels in some nice big city when hitting the shops in a limited amount of time.
)Must look up the Mulberry Alexa now!
@vintageleather, I was thinking of you the other day bc we have lost a ton of paperwork and had to redo, plus we went stress shopping at brunello and VCA ( and I never considered myself to be a VCA person). Our closing date is set for a few weeks from now, and we are meeting with the architect and interior designer ( the latter is premature) today. An estimated year of gut renovation and hopefully by this time next year, we will be moving in. Hope you are enjoying your new place and filling the closet and other rooms with everything you desire. Hugs
I've been resting up after my indulgent, vain, ridiculous fat transfer plastic surgery three days ago and I feel much better albeit much swollen(and not just in the butt which was supposed to get huge)! I paid for the fat transfer by selling 4 Chanels and a Dior. I have 5 Chanels and 1 Dior left so I'm thinking if I sell those too I could get a nifty, shiny used Volvo retractable hardtop convertible. Or I could just keep them and my dozens of other great bags and continue to enjoy my old minivan.
What would you do?
Remember I got two puppies this year? Well they would love to go joy riding in a convertible, and so would my kids. And we are moving further south soon so that having the top down nearly year round would be fun.
I think I'm obsessed with being a shape I prefer to be and maybe a car, and training my puppies....and adoring my purses and purse rehab projects is because I can't do what I really want to do, which is sing karaoke in a cramped dive bar and hang out with friends at an indoor house party. I can't wait for covid to be over so I can get my head out of my own big butt and back on a social life.

Thank you! It has no stains , so I will wait for the odor absorbers to come.
Glad to hear you are doing better and a big congrats on the weight loss and running. How do you like the alexa?

Hi everybody. I recently sold the Miu Miu so it is now out of my collection.
So far I've been on Flea Bay, and I've found nothing of interest. But then I tried Poshmark and I think I may have something. Again, maybe. Something a bit different than I had originally thought, but potentially quite useful.
I did have one question for the seller, and I'm waiting for her to respond.
Details to follow if I decide to get it.
When do we see pictures? Do we have to wait until Christmas???
That's great! You've been doing very well on sales, haven't you. I know others on this thread are stalled. Do you have a secret?
Thank you all for the marvellous welcome back. I feel like I’m amongst old friends! Glad to see you are all doing ok!
Our gorgeous puppy also keeps me active and is very cuddly which is great for the soul. She’s a big dog so needs her exercise but is also a laid back softie.
@msd_bags New Mulberry Alexa, well you all know I’m a sucker for a beautiful Mulberry bag. It’s the look, feel and smell of the beautiful thick leather mixed with simple hardware. I love my original chestnut Alexa and have looked at black ones preloved many times but never wanted to pay that much for something used. I was amazed to see Mulberry rereleased them, with just slight changes, and showed DH. He knows things have been hard for me and wanted to cheer me up without waiting for Christmas. The surprise was waiting for me when I got home from work one day.
@dcooney4 & @More bags I’m loving carrying my new Alexa. It’s good for work but generally I prefer a larger bag for that. However, it’s size, easy throw on carrying and understated beautiful make it the perfect black weekend bag - for me at least. Alexa’s are a great everyday size better than my Small Bayswater Satchel. I’d use my Lilys in the evening if I could go out! Can’t wait for a G&T with friends! The larger Mulberry bags I use for work mostly or shoulder carrying. Mulberry bags are on the heavy side but it’s worth it for the leather.
Sorry this post is so long! Making up for lost time!
Great to see you back @Katinahat. So sorry to hear about the mental health challenges. I hope you’re finding professional help if you need it and have someone you can talk to. Congratulations on your weight loss, that’s significant! Great stats, the ones that jump out for me are the puppy and running gear! Yay! I’d love to hear your thoughts on the re released Alexa vs. your other Mulberry beauties.
Forever black puppy

On the running, I’d absolutely never done it, or any exercise, before. I never even managed an 800m at school so it was a real midlife crisis! Overweight, stressed at work, blood pressure high, going into COVID with family members contracting the virus badly was a bit of a wake up call. Plus it’s a great way to run off demons from the past that occasionally surface. It’s good for mental health and a real stress buster. If I can run anyone can - get a good couch to 5k app and build it up really slowly. 8 months from starting, I can even run 10k now albeit I’m ultra slow! I run home from work twice a week in the dark. Blood pressure is now normal so it works! I should be happy now but I’m challenging myself to more 7 pounds off to reach my final target. @cowgirlboots - shopping is great exercise!
