Thanks! Hope all is looking up for you now.I'm sorry that November was a particularly difficult month for you.

I'm like you. Bit of free-range chicken or fish one a month and I'm fine. Occasionally I get a craving for liver or sushi and cannot rest until satisfied.
I don't mind the very rare venison, wild boar or other game from a local Scottish farm where I can actually see the animals outside but ordinarily, I just can't to mass-produced meat. Obviously living on a goose moor and next to a pheasant moor we get the odd bird. The goose have 48 000 acres of land and live a good life (between shoots). I'd rather be hunted after a real-free range life than commercially exploited (even with a PC sticker).
I just downloaded the book from our digital library. I have a 2-hour ride to see the neurosurgeon tomorrow (I'm not driving, mind you!). I'll read Santaland Diaries on the way. Laughter is the best medicine!
The best of love to you. We are with you and keep laughing!
Good idea for a challenge! I´d play!
Exercise? Well does going to the other room to fetch the chocolate or the cookies count?
I really should do something and give up on the jogging pants, again... my waistline does not please me, even though my weight is in the normal range. I had to step on the scales to weigh a big parcel... 
Cavi arrived and I'm going to be naughty and cross-post it.
It hold quite a lot. I had all those little things in the pouch on one side plus 12 cards in card holder (it's the sorry looking gunmetal python pouch) and my phone on the other side (had to take my phone out to take pics).
Not sure about Epsom but the colours are lovely. Plus it will stand up to being pulled out and put in bags and briefcases day after day. Couldn't find my agenda cover (that's how long I've been away from travelling to work) or my darling Ezip. I would have liked to have seen them together.
Makes for an excellent clutch IMO
1. Calvi and Gucci Bamboo top-handle 35.
2. Inside a Kelly Sellier 32 sideways (also fits across)
3. Next to a Hermes GP 36
I'd have to edit my keys (I carry 2 sets of house keys and a large car key)

Oh @momasaurus ... I fully second this! Real shopping has become a faint memory and even though I did a bit of online shopping lately- in the cheap an preloved section- I feel like I´m missing out on something!
I´d so much been looking forward to going to Paris in Feb 21, but no such luck. The car show DH wanted to visit has been postponed and on the same day my flights have been cancelled. All excitement I get is hoping for a full refund from the airline...
No luck for me on handbag sales via the classifieds, either.
Very classy! Congratulations! What the gorgeous horsey scarf, please?
Ok, here´s the time of truth... November stats:
2 bags in: the mustard patent New Lock and the red New Lock I´m giving myself for Christmas
1 bag out- sigh of relief! It was a cheap one I bought a while ago and instantly regretted the purchase... a second, better and really nice bag- but still no use for me- sold, payment pending. Please keep your fingers crossed for me the money will arrive!
0 SLG in
0 SLG out
Quite a few coats, boots and stuff sold via the classifieds, but still a lot listed...
Plus myself being very tempted to buy another bag right now... a model I´ve been drooling over for a while and now an already cheap one turned up on VC and the seller countered my cheeky lowball offer with a still very friendly asking price.

I love the color!!
It really does seem to hold quite a bit - looks like a keeper!
November stats:
Purses in or out - 0
SLG out - 1 (finally... one to go still)
Scarves in - 2 (the Sabina Savage and an H L'Ivresse de L'Infini), I still have 2 listed.
For the month I wore 8 different bags, still working a little on bringing down the CPW on a few of them.
I have learned that I do really like the Nancy Gonzalez mini tote - it's a nice size, super light, and with the 'feathers', it's very cute too. Now I wish I hadn't gone nuts and bought the MZ Wallace Micro Sutton in black (I bought it because I was worried about carrying a croc purse with C-19), because the NG is just fine.
I listened to 2 books (Pride and Prejudice, and Dracula) in November; I'm going to listen to A Christmas Carol next, because I've never read it. My only worry about listening to it, is that when the little boy says to Scrooge when he asks him about the turkey in the butcher's window, "WOT - you mean the one as big as me?", it will be different. Silly I know!
I've been on a whirlwind of decorating for Christmas... I have never (in 41 years of marriage) put my tree up in November. It is up, decorated and all the presents are wrapped... I started decorating the house before Thanksgiving! I was a bit ruthless in that I am donating several Holiday decorations - I've 'streamlined' it so it was easier to both put out and will be to take down.
When I do take it down - heck I might leave some of it out until spring just for the cheerful factor.

The more stressed I am, the more I find myself casually shopping. There’s something soothing about mindless browsing online. And with my parents having multiple medical emergencies, November has been very very stressful.
