I think I have kept myself from thinking about buying any new bags over the weekend by going black Friday nuts buying clothes for my 5&7 year old daughters .....been pouring all my spending power towards hanna Andersson, Gymboree, the children's place, and my favorite, Boden kids. And I got myself a few clothes (mommy and me sets with the girls and Boden women's has some adorable jumpsuits and dresses), which I can't wait to try on when my swelling goes down. I've got such lumpy swelling in my tummy, it's awful! But it will take another month or even two before it's pretty much settled down. Liposuction patience!

I am kind of tempted by a cute little polene numero Sept mini..... But I have enough mini bags!!!!

An update:
I am finally at * purse peace* or at least, I am *content* with my collection after going little *crazy* with purchasing 3 coveted items today.

Looking forward to now shopping from my closet and focusing on other personal matters as well now that my material desires have been sated.

It’s been a hard year for everyone and I miss seeing my friends and family in-person.

Please stay safe everyone :flowers::heart:

I haven't really used any bags since March. I keep one loaded with my things just in case. I did take some out to photograph. Does that count?

I've been exercising a bit. During the summer, I swam every day. I loved it so much I got a wetsuit so I could continue even after the water got too cold. I only made it through mid-October. The last time I swam, I shivered so much afterwards, I knew I couldn't do it again until it warms back up. The water only got down to around 75 F. I guess I'm a wimp.

I got a under desk elliptical machine, mostly because the full sized ones require too much assembly. I keep it in front of the couch and use it about an hour a day. It shows me how many calories I'm burning but I don't know how accurate that is. In about an hour, I burn at least 500 calories. I also got a vibration platform. I do 15 minutes a day on it, some with weights and resistance bands. I like the feel of the vibration. Supposedly you get a greater benefit than just doing exercises without it.

Your doing pretty good. Also taking the bags out to photograph counts at this point.

Congratulations dc - 3 bags out is phenomenal! Well done managing to your shelf space as a constraint. Sorry to hear November was stress filled. Hopefully, December will be better. :hugs:


I will join you for using five or more bags in December.
For exercise, I like running outdoor and going for socially distanced walks.

In reality it was four bags. One bag I didn't count in as I bought it on final sale, but it was to heavy for me so I sold it. If I hadn't used posh it would have been a slight profit but as it was I broke even. Someone got a great deal on a gorgeous bag and I don't have a pretty bag that I can't carry taunting me in the closet.

3 bags out! Congratulations!
It has been stressful - I feel ya...


Sounds good to me!
I haven't been exercising at all, other than a few walks with Coco. I *need* to, but I am soooooooo unmotivated. My weight is up, I've been craving all those warm, cozy stews and breads. Especially bread. Or pasta...

Bread “or” pasta? LOL

Wow stats! One in one out is truly admirable! Both the Halzan and the Roulis are on my radar. I love that closure bar on the roulis.
